Finally, DotBASIC Plus is ready for
distribution! We have a web site
where the manual and D81s can
be downloaded for just $10. A CD-ROM
and a colour printed manual are also
available...
LOADSTAR is pleased to offer the
ultimate software development package
for the Commodore 64: DotBASIC Plus.
DB+ provides the means to create
sophisticated, modern-looking
programs in BASIC and is at the same
time perfect for the programming
novice.
Included with DotBASIC Plus is a
80-page reference guide. The guide
includes detailed DotCommand
descriptions, as well as an extensive
series of tutorials, screenshots,
reference charts and a complete
index.
Features:
-Over 100 new DotCommands added to
BASIC, including a powerful do loop,
commands for stashing/restoring
memory, playing SID music, and
displaying custom character sets,
sprites, and hi-res graphics.
-Programs written with DotBASIC Plus
automatically support a mouse in port
1 and a joystick in port 2.
-Easily create windows, drop-down
menus, even scrolling menus and text
boxes.
-Easily extendable. New DotCommands
can easily be created and added to
the DotBASIC library. The manual
includes a chapter on this.
-DB+ includes a suite of impressive
design tools to help you create
custom screens, sprites, and text
files.
DotBASIC Plus is very affordable and
can be purchased at
http://8bitcentral.com/dotbasic
On the website, you can learn more
about DB+, see screenshots, download
sample DB+ programs, and read an
excerpt from the manual. A forum has
also been created where DotBASIC
users (and the merely curious) can
ask questions, read tutorials, and
download updates.
We all know that the C-64 is the
ultimate hobbyist computer. At
LOADSTAR, we believe that DotBASIC
Plus is the ultimate hobbyist
computer language. Join us at
http://8bitcentral.com/dotbasic and
make the power and sophistication of
DotBASIC Plus your own.
