Hey, wasn't it me who supposed to show new copy/paste tricks?

Aurel, come on. Any information about the source? Where did you find it? Who's the author? Please.

It would be nice for sample screen shot.

Code: [Select]

GraphicsWindow.Title = "Logo - by Joseph Fischetti"not one of original authors of LOGO:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logo_(programming_language)
so must be MS Small Basic coder?

This is really the same as Basic DRAW command, I think, again sample(s) would be nice. Oh looks like it works from run time Input like function.

Oh hey, Write a Draw String and not just draw from a string? That is interesting idea!
Then we have makings of editor for a Draw String, hmm...

Don't usually think of Basic DRAW as Interpreter!

Really don't need all that parsing and stack stuff, recursive calls could handle repeat section(s).

Seems to use an internal turtle? So this basically just extracts logo-alike commands from a text string and feeds them one by one to a turtle. Does it handle expressions as arguments? I couldn't see anything that might in there. Also no procedure definitions using the Logo "to" command as far as I can tell. Would be nice if we could add variables and procedures/lists to it.

Well with procedures, might like execution redirection with decision mechanism(s).

But there is a point when I say to myself, "Oh heck! Just code it in Basic!"

If anyone cares to, they can run this for a more powerful experience with SpecBAS

Code: [Select]

10 ON ERROR GO sub 30
20 INPUT a$: EXECUTE TOKEN$ a$: GO TO 20
30 PRINT "error!": RETURN

You can type in as much BASIC as you like (and there's a turtle too...) and even store procedures and functions as strings and call them later...

So TOKEN$ could be a whole code file? what about line numbers?

No, just direct commands. TOKEN$ compiles the text into p-code, EXECUTE runs it (though TOKEN$ is probably redundant as EXECUTE will perform this step if it hasn't already - compiling will slow the interpreter down somewhat though). You can specify many statements using the ":" separator.

OK so like Immediate Mode in early Basic's, though I don't think I ever tried a subroutine.

Subroutines would be pretty easy.

you would input your sub as a line of code assigned to a string variable:

Code: [Select]

sub$="FOR i=1 TO 5: DRAW 100: ROTATE 144: NEXT i"

then for your next inputs, you could do:

Code: [Select]

PLOT SCRW/2, SCRH/2: DEGREES: FOR j=1 TO 10: EXECUTE sub$: ROTATE 36: NEXT j

And that would draw 10 stars rotated. I think
