CoCo 4 BASIC

Our next project for CoCo 4 is a BASIC that’s backwards compatible with the CoCo 3 and written directly for a modern computer. By writing a new BASIC interpreter in C, we will achieve speeds of not 50 but 5,000 times over your CoCo! With this incredible speed, there is no reason to write programs in assembly language! Finally, Basic is the top speed dragster! Some of the new options are will include new graphics modes like a true 256 colors from pallette 16 million, a new sound driver and file/memory management system. Steve Bjork will re-write some is classic games in this new Basic to show just fast and power the CoCo 4 BASIC is.
