Basic Pascal – what is in the plan


I want to speak a little about things, that are connected with Basic Pascal. This is some game pack. Games, written with Basic, mainly. I am doing everything by the plan. And as a rule plan is not big. Two or three games. This time - several plans. About them I want to tell.

With Free Basic – this is plan Linear.

With BBC Basic for SDL2 – plan Little Ball.

More Free Basic – plan Simple.

With Qb64 – plan out of the past.

These are title for plans. Which will be included in Basic Pascal version 1.19. So first time, so many plans. It takes some time. But first. First thing, this is achievement – it is possibility to make it, possibility. This is skills. Intelligence. Other way, I still was digging with small plans and two or three games. And I make it real to make it complete several plans.

 Programming language I use certain for certain plan. To have practice with dialect. Now it is Basic.

Plan Linear

With terms of first game, that set idea for all the plan  - Free Linear Space. This is something like a theme for something like a space shooter. Top down. Space shooter. Standard code for this game. Which later to use with next game.

Cool theme here it is Vi Aliens – space shooter. With design of aliens space ships. So I have a dream about this. Aliens, space ships. Bosses. Everything with style of 8 bit computers shooter games. About space.

Plan Little Ball

These are small projects with such interesting programming language. As BBC Basic. Projects are small and they are for practice. So there, it is programming more close to 80s. Declaration for variables. And so on.

And theme – games about a little ball. With different ideas. Little ball is smashing something. With better graphics, more interesting with game B Ball. Or pseudo three dimensional visual with BC Row. Game about little ball.

Plan Simple

This is first additional plan. During I am doing big projects. Parallel I do simple little games with Free Basic. I like it a lot. And I do practice with it. With form of simple games.

This is Basic Maze. Long time ago I have dream to make it. To make my own version of Amazing Maze. So there it is little ball, searching for exit the labyrinth. But my variation.

And BufColor – game about colors. You need to exchange with colors. Simple logic something like a game. With retro style.

Plan Out of the Past

This is one more additional plan. Which only possible, in case of – you have some skills.

This time, I again, go back to idea of text stories. Near the shore. So there you as in Myst or Riven. You find out yourself in something magical. Fairytale, fantasy, surreal place. And walk along the shore. Read text. And take decisions.

Frozen Arctic Station – long time ago it was idea. Text part of game and walk the labyrinth, small labyrinth. Sci fi , fantastic category B. Science experiments are go out of control.  You are some kind of worker there. At this station. And you do not know about projects, that scientists doing here. And something has happened. No one is here. And cold. As VHS cassette category B.

All these plans will be included in Basic Pascal 1.19.

Basic Pascal version 1.18 "Duckling" – most newest version. In this version there are 4 new games! Puddles at Countryside, Duckling Pseudo 3D, Road to Countryside, Duckling Goes 2D. And even more retro games! It is a pack of retro games with modern versions of Basic and Pascal.
