ethosBASIC is a development system for creating computer games and programs; complete with a tutorial and extensive help manual, computer novices or children can learn to code within a few hours.
ethosBASIC is a powerful development system that has been specifically designed for creating computer games as well as other cool programs. It features an inbuilt tutorial and help manual, which are comprehensive enough to teach even complete computer novices or children how to create computer games within just a few hours.
The software combines a user-friendly and potent BASIC language with a wide range of graphical and sound systems. Additionally, it boasts an online user-group that provides users with access to an extensive data library enabling them to create a wide variety of programs ranging from games and educational applications to standard programs and tools, all with minimal effort.
With ethosBASIC, it is possible to make fast-paced arcade games, using pixel-perfect collision sprites, multiple parallax playfields, scrolling, digital music, and sound effects. DirectX supports the seamless running of games users develop.
The software's integrated windows editor further simplifies the process of making games and debugging them. Each ethosBASIC game, or program, contains all the routines and data arranged in straightforward data banks. The advanced data manager allows visual management of program, sound, sprites, and image data banks in a user-friendly interface.
Ethos supports most standard graphic formats, including animating GIF files. Users can create games with unlimited functionality, with imagination being the only limit in the process.
In direct mode, commands can be entered directly while editing or debugging the program. This feature enables users to quickly see the effect or positioning of an image, or to reset/report on programming variables.
EthosBasic is supported by a powerful site where ethos users can contact each other centrally, access an extensive breadth of resources through the library or even enjoy the freedom to upload their programs, and graphics to share with others.
