Attached are the extension modules and dependencies need for the bbc and gfx extension modules. These extensions only work with the DEB install at this time.

One must install the SDL 1.2 and SDL_gfx 1.2 runtime libraries.

sudo apt-get install libsdl1.2debian-1.2.15+dfsg1-4+rpt2
sudo apt-get install libsdl-gfx1.2-5-2.0.25-5

BBC
1. unzip the bbc.zip file in a temp directory
2. sudo cp bbc.so /usr/local/lib/scriba/
3. sudo cp bbc.bas /usr/local/include/scriba/
4. sudo cp libbbc.so /usr/lib/


SDL_gfx
1. unzip the gfx.zip file in a temp directory
2. sudo cp gfx.so /usr/local/lib/scriba/
3. sudo cp gfx.bas /usr/local/include/scriba/

Use the ScriptBasic example code posted in this thread to test your installation.

For those not into the retro BBC BASIC graphics primitives, I ported the SDL_gfx extension module to the Raspberry Pi.

Code: Script BASIC
  1. ' ScriptBasic GFX - Alpha Circles
  2.  
  3. IMPORT gfx.bas
  4.  
  5. scrn = gfx::Window(640, 480, "ScriptBasic GFX - Alpha Circles - Raspberry Pi")
  6. ' Random Value Arrays
  7. RANDOMIZE(gfx::Time())
  8. FOR i = 0 TO 512
  9.   rx[i] = RND() % 640
  10.   ry[i] = 60 + RND() % 480 - 80
  11.   rz[i] = RND() % 64
  12.   rr[i] = RND() AND  255
  13.   rg[i] = RND() AND  255
  14.   rb[i] = RND() AND  255
  15.   af = rx[i] / 640
  16.   ra[i] = INT(255 * af)
  17. NEXT
  18.  
  19. ts = gfx::Time()
  20. FOR i = 0 TO 512
  21.   gfx::filledCircleRGBA scrn, rx[i], ry[i], rz[i], rr[i], rg[i], rb[i], ra[i]
  22. NEXT
  23. te = gfx::Time()
  24. gfx::stringColor scrn, 20, 15, "Time: " & FORMAT("%.4f",(te-ts)/1000) & " Seconds." & CHR(0), 0xffffffff

I'm pleased  to announce a release of ScriptBasic for the Raspberry Pi. You can do a traditional install with a .deb file or as an AppImage

This version of the binaries do NOT work on the Raspberry Pi Zero.
(Requires ARM v7 or greater)

DEB Install:

Code: Bash
  1. sudo apt install ./scriptbasic-2.1-linux-armhf.deb

DEB Uninstall:

Code: Bash
  1. sudo apt remove scriptbasic-2.1-linux-armhf

To run a script use scriba <script nane> when using the DEB Install.

To use the AppImage version ScriptBasic, unzip the file in the /usr/local/bin (or a directory in the system path) and use sb <script_name> to run your scripts. To remove ScriptBasic, remove the sb file.

I have added scriptbasic-rpi-zero.deb as an attachment. This version will run on ALL versions of the Raspberry Pi where the scriptbasic-2.1-linux-armhf.deb and AppImage versiosn will only run on the ARM v7 versions of the boards. The same instructions apply just change the name of the .deb file.


ScriptBasic User and Developer Guides

Most of the ScriptBasic development activity is happening on the All BASIC Forum.

Language Features
  • Tradional BASIC syntax
  • Variant style variables (no definition or declaration  needed)
  • Indexed, associative arrays (or combo of both) no practical limits
  • Muilt-threaded - asynchronous / synchronous execution
  • Unlimited seamless expansion via the extension API
  • Embeddable API
  • Footprint less than 800 KB
  • Runs on everything with a single source tree (written in ANSI C)
  • Application proxy web server that runs ScriptBasic code
  • Cascading pre-processor support
  • Debugger with single step execution, break points and more

Extension Modules
  • libcurl + SSL
  • MySQL
  • SQLite
  • ODBC
  • json
  • XML
  • regex
  • CGI
  • zlib
  • SBT - thread support
  • IUP - cross platform portable GUI
  • SDL_gfx graphics primatives with alpha channel support
  • BBC BASIC graphic library
  • more ..
