Chipmunk BASIC (the classic one)

[Cybermonkey]

Maybe you know that the first chipmunk basic was written in Pascal. I recently found a port to Delphi here: http://xmojmr.ohmygod.cz/software/Chip/
I want to enhance it with some console mode commands, like color, cls etc. As a result you can see the attached images. The only "downside" I see is that the interpreter is rather classic and needs line numbers. The most common commands are already implemented, so I just do some enhancement here.

But Chipmunk Basic is still in development - http://www.nicholson.com/rhn/basic/. It already supports graphic and doesn't require line numbers.

I know, I know. Just 4 fun.

This thread I think got me started here. If not the EGSL download. I forget which came first.
Anyhow this chipmunk basic thing is intriguing. I always have the software handy.

Where it diverges from the 'line number need' it doesn't really expand in functionality.
At least because there is no software for building UI's and dealing with file i/o in a efficient way.

I have been thinking "how can I embed it in iGame3D or murgaLua or a browser?" for years.
I think you are you on to something here. Don't give up.

Here keep this maze generator handy
