FAST BASIC PROGRAMMING
****************************************************************************
The following disks originated from the Fast Basic User Group which ceased
operation at the end of 1989. The programs on these disks cover a number of
different areas and contain full source code which can be adapted for your
own purposes. For this reason these disks have not been categorised. Users
who do not own Fast Basic can still use the programs as a runner program is
provided on disk.

animation along with speech (generated by the Fast Basic speech module).
Animations on this disk are Cyril and Diver. Needs 1 Meg memory.

disk!). Animation on this disk is Boxer. Needs 1 Meg memory.
FB.07C A SPELLING PROGRAM for the young in Fast Basic by Peter Jackson. You

is a collection of routines which are intended for use in your own Fast

create sounds for your Casio synthesizer on the screen using the mouse.
These sounds can be stored on disk as single sounds or as a bank of 16.
These sounds can easily down loaded to the synthesizer, again as a single

altered and stored etc. Requires Fast Basic on cartridge OR 1 Meg memory.
