I hope the members here in this forum are not too adverse to trying JS/HTML5.
I have been working on a project that allows you to type in code in a BASIC-like syntax and it outputs working Javascript and uses HTML5 tags.
It is not a very 'retro' thing, so maybe this is the wrong audience....?

Nope. One can do "retro" games with HTML5, can't we? (http://codeincomplete.com/projects/boulderdash/)
I am very interested in your project, how is the actual status? I know you implemented a BASIC which uses the codef library. Although quite impressive it was limited since no input (keyboard, mouse) was actually possible. Any news on that?

Absolutely not. Your project can be a success, because HTML5/JavaScript is extremely popular nowadays.

Guilect:
I used codef as an experiment, a learning experience.
I have since moved on to another library that allows for image rotation, scaling, alpha blending, etc.
It now has mouse, keyboard, sound.
It is quite capable of making a game.
There are still several things that I want to add to it.
Also, there is no help file made yet.
(I like coding, I dislike making help files).

Here is the list of HTML5 related commands so far:
setBackgroundColor

Sounds awesome. Will it be a commercial or a free product?
