It's really annoying to me how opaque this product is and how any useful tutorials or downloads are behind a login wall. It promises a lot but tells me very little. Same goes for their now out of stock dedicated hardware.
- corv 7y ago
  Not only is the download behind a login but they also force you to receive marketing material. Other than that, I’m genuinely excited about this. Why is it so difficult to figure out how to get the software?
  - Fr0styMatt88 7y ago
    The Switch version at least is available on the Nintendo eShop on the Switch, fully approved by Nintendo (unlike the Ruby interpreter that shipped inside 'A Dark Room' on the eShop).

  For some reason HN changed the casing of my submission title - 'BASIC' got changed to 'Basic'.

    From what I've seen, there's some software that massages titles. If you can't edit it at this point, you can email the mods using the Contact link in the footer to request a correction.

  Switch is already hacked in every way possible, there's no real need to do that.
  - iwalton3 7y ago
    From what I've heard it's getting to be difficult to find a model that can be exploited with the bootloader exploit. Given that Nintendo also bans units that have been detected playing pirated games, buying one used seems like a risky proposition too.

I'll have to check this out. I'm reminded of the hidden Ruby interpreter, too bad that wasn't cleared beforehand, I'm sure there would have been a way to make it work: https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2019/05/game-with-hidden-ruby-interpreter-pulled-from-nintendo-switch-eshop/ https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2019/05/game-with-hidden-ruby...

This reminds me of Codea for iPad. For me what makes Codea so great is that there are actually games and apps in the App Store that are built with Codea. With Fuze is it possible to make a build of the game which can be run on other platforms? If your game is really good, could you build it for the Switch marketplace?
- Fr0styMatt88 7y ago
  Have there been any other games besides Cargo-Not made and released with it? I really really wanted to like Codea, but couldn't get my head around how you'd organize a big project with it. That and I find touchscreen keyboards terrible to code with. EDIT: Found this forum thread for games and apps made with Codea, looks inspiring: https://codea.io/talk/discussion/1983/app-store-games-and-apps-made-with-codea https://codea.io/talk/discussion/1983/app-store-games-and-ap...
  - gambiting 7y ago
    I love codea, but a bluetooth keyboard case for the ipad is a must.

> FUZE4 takes as many pros as we could cram in from a mix of these languages (C, Python & BASIC to name a few) to create a language that is as easy as BASIC, powerful like C and versatile like Python. Is it me or has this become more and more of a theme for new programming languages? Do they even deliver on all these promises?
- shakna 7y ago
  Those promises are "easy" to achieve for a certain interpretation of what they mean. BASIC itself, through things like peek and poke, can give you the "power of C", and with subroutines if you create a stdlib that you inject, you can certainly make it as high-level and versatile as Python. That doesn't mean that you get the benefits of C, Python and BASIC all at once though. You've achieved the overly-broad goals, and can say you haven't lied, but the impression the consumer has won't live up to the real world - because they're expecting the cultures and communities of those languages as well.
  - Zardoz84 7y ago
    QuickBasic/TurboBasic, VisualBasic, Dark Basic, Gambas, etc. managed to evolve BASIC very well.
    - Fr0styMatt88 7y ago
      So did the Blitz BASIC family. The thing that always impressed and astonished me about BlitzMax was just how many games seemed to actually get _finished_ with it. Lots of them even looked very polished. It was really cool to see at the time (around 2006ish I think is when I was following it, though not exactly sure).
      - dlivingston 7y ago
        That was the first programming language I ever learned - lots of fun memories spent in Blitz3D and BlitzMax trying to make "the next Skyrim" with high school friends. The newest member of that family is Monkey 2 [0], not to be confused with Thorsten Ball's Monkey [1].

I got this around a week ago and started hacking out a simple Asteroids clone. Sadly, it's right now super buggy and as someone else mentioned a lot of information is locked behind sign-up screens and so on... I only had my phone on me and tried to sign up but couldn't get the site to work, so I tweeted the official twitter account a few messages but didn't get a response. The showstopper issue I had was that it's hard coded to a UK keyboard layout (fair enough) and I couldn't work out how to type a | for an 'or' operator (shift-\ did not work!). Not only that, but the on-screen keyboard doesn't appear to have one! The API is fairly powerful, I hope they keep updating and ironing out some of the issues. edit: I just signed up now and managed to log in, and I was expecting forums or at least a blog but I can't find anything. Hopefully some kind of community feedback loop is in the works.

> easy as BASIC, powerful like C and versatile like Python. lol, heard that before. > Over $1,000 worth of high-quality gaming assets According to who? So, is this a gamemaker being released on switch? I don't get it. You're supposed to write code on a touchscreen switch keyboard?
- pm215 7y ago
  Coding on a touchscreen keyboard can't be any worse than coding on a ZX81's keyboard, surely? I'm pretty sure it would be much better, in fact, especially if you used the ZX81-style one-keypress-gives-whole-keyword trick.
- Danieru 7y ago
  The Switch supports USB keyboards and mice.
  - jacobush 7y ago
    How!? I had no idea. Via some sort of USB-hub?
    - mattl 7y ago
      The Dock has USB ports
      - entropicdrifter 7y ago
        Also any old USB-C hub works for it. Not all of them can charge it, but any of them can be used for connecting a keyboard/mouse/wired controller
z92 7y ago
How do you type in that language on that device? Moving on a virtual keyboard using the joystick should be supper hard way to do it.
- alex_duf 7y ago
  The switch has a touch screen so it shouldn't be harder than on a phone. - form factor aside -
  - majewsky 7y ago
    When you take the JoyCons off, the form factor of the screen unit is essentially a slightly bulky phablet.
    - Fr0styMatt88 7y ago
      I also believe that you can use a bluetooth keyboard with it, though I haven't tried.
    - Wowfunhappy 7y ago
      You can't really grip the Switch like a phone, because the rails that the Joycons slide into are uncomfortable. And it's a bit too small for typing on a desk as I might with an iPad.
packetpirate 7y ago
I've been really looking forward to this for the last couple years, and am glad to see it finally released, but I must have missed the memo when they put a price tag on it, because I thought it was going to be freeware. The only disappointments in how FUZE has evolved is that they don't seem to want you to actually SHARE anything you make. You can only share your made games with people on your friend's list. You can't publish them anywhere. Supposedly you can make external assets to push to the Switch, but without the ability to share games I've made, I'll be less likely to pay for it.
- mattl 7y ago
  I read somewhere they’re going to release a player that’ll be free of charge. So you’ll be able to share games with anyone with the player.
- Fr0styMatt88 7y ago
  They could go 100% retro and release a printed magazine with type-in listings.... :)
- swiley 7y ago
  The requirements from nintendo to prevent code sharing really crippled the networking in smile basic, that was pretty dissapointing. Of course if you've run fuse galle (or however you spell it) you can go grab a fairly complete python environment from a homebrew developer and just run that, there just isn't a decent editor you can run directly on the switch (yet.)
jonwinstanley 7y ago
Why did they write their own language? Why not just use an existing language?
juskrey 7y ago
I'll go straight: every "coding for children" thing is fake and does not work. Give a kid a book on real coding when he/she is ready (in any sense) and it's done.
- dyarosla 7y ago
  The point of coding apps isn’t to get kids proficient at coding. “Does not work”- for what criteria of work? Because as a means to get kids exposed to ideas in programming and/or get familiar with how code looks and not be apprehensive of it, theyre great starters for many.
- Fr0styMatt88 7y ago
  I think FUZE is closer to a fantasy console (eg- PICO-8) than it is to a 'coding for kids' thing (eg- Scratch or Alice), since you have to actually type in code and that code is text. There's nothing wrong with 'coding for kids' things either IMHO; I find the design of them quite interesting actually (from both a language design and a UI perspective). What do you define as 'real coding'? What kinds of things are you thinking of as 'coding for kids'?
- Wowfunhappy 7y ago
  I think Scratch is pretty darn good.
JonSilvera 7y ago
Please allow me to clarify a few things here. My name is Jon Silvera and I run FUZE Technologies Ltd. First off why is this item called Fuze Basic for Nintendo Switch. The product is called FUZE4 Nintendo Switch and sorry folks but it is not BASIC. We are an education company - we deliver coding workshops to young people around the country. We developed FUZE to help us achieve this. The results have been so positive we decided to bring it to new platforms like the Switch. The site mentioned below being behind a login wall.. fuzearena.com is a community website to support FUZE. Due to many of our users being children we absolutely have to moderate the site and due to the sharing nature, that is using Nintendo friend IDs we must have accountability. The out of stock hardware is an old product using old versions of FUZE BASIC (the previous product that has nothing to do with FUZE4). We hope to release new hardware with the new version of FUZE4 in the future. I wasn't aware about forcing you to receive marketing materials - i will look into this. It should not be the case. The software is called FUZE4 Nintendo Switch - it is available on the eShop. I don't think we could have made it any easier to get! The release version has a few bugs, more than i would have liked. There is a patch already in the approval process with Nintendo. This fixes almost all of the known bugs and certainly gets rid of the worst ones. This is a games console - it will always be restricted. The point is that this is a learn-to code app for users to get to grips with coding by programming games. If the users move on to Unity + C# or C++ or Python or Java for that matter then our work has been a success. However, Windows, Android, Raspberry Pi versions will follow and if we do reasonably well then Stadia, XBOX, Playstation & Apple devices. The bulk of these will allow for a far more open landscape. Sharing on the Switch however is perhaps not as restricted as you imagine and it is likely to improve over time as Nintendo trust the application more. "easy as BASIC, powerful like C and versatile like Python" - Try it! This was our objective from the beginning. "Over $1,000 worth of high-quality gaming assets" - you want a fight - step outside. Actually the real cost is a lot higher as many assets we're created exclusively. However if you go to Itch.io and a couple of other content sellers and combine everything we included then it comes to just over $1,200. And yes, we do have the artists approval in every single case! The touch keyboard works really well and it is no ZX81 - I know this because i started on the early Z80s. I code using the screen a lot and whilst it won't replace a proper keyboard it is very, very usable. However plug a USB keyboard in and you're all set. "every "coding for children" thing is fake" - now this is a good comment and i generally agree. The problem is we spend too much time teaching kids to play at coding rather than teach them real text based stuff. The problem is that things have been dumbed down so much people have forgotten what kids are actually capable of. At FUZE we teach text based coding, always have and always will because that is what it is. Someone still has to write Scratch and so on. We teach kids from six and up - in the early years it's all LOOPS, VARIABLEs and IF THEN statements but we quickly move on to arrays, vectors, lists, structures, 3D and so on. "Why did they write their own language? Why not just use an existing language?" - We are teaching kids to code. Right now kids are taken from Scratch to Python - the jump is too much. FUZE is a transitional language designed to lower the barriers of entry to the real world languages. Look folks, all we're trying to do here is provide an accessible, easy to learn coding environment to get more kids into coding. The fact FUZE is powerful enough and 'real world' enough for seasoned coders to enjoy is a bonus and it helps everyone if the pro's can help the newcomers. Oh, someone said they thought it was freeware. Hmm.. nope. It cost over £250,000 to develops. There will be free versions around the education channel and maybe players in the future but for now we need to recover our investments, buy flash new cars, buy a lot of drugs and go on a few crazy holidays, so just buy the damn thing! I think I have covered everything. But to summarise, we are trying to make a living by making an accessible learn to code platform to encourage more young people to get into coding. It's bloody good and as such it deserves a tad more love! Jon Silvera FUZE Technologies Ltd / feel free to email, i'm easy to find.
