Today's computers no longer boot into BBC BASIC - the barriers to entry have become higher. A Lisp-like language would be easier to implement than a BASIC-like one - but is probably too unfamiliar for beginners. Update: I have read thr

Thanks, you're great. I wouldn't have noticed that in a hundred years.

That was stupid of me - I should have also added a URL parameter to the embedded pages.

Thank you for your time and effort. The browser cache can really drive one nuts. I assumed that the URL parameter would force a new request.

I suspect that the browser still has the old page saved in the cache. Can you please check this again? The browser should load the current version with this link. https://easylang.dev/apps/tut_learn.html?v2

I think it's more intuitive this way. When you draw a rectangle, you start with a corner point and then draw the width and height. With a circle, you go to the center and then draw it with a radius.

Thank you very much for this feedback. On the desktop and under IOS there is the Enter key, on Android there is really only this Next key - weird. I'll have to sort it out. Update: Now there should be an Enter key instead of the Next k

Are you sure? On a mobile device, it's easy to overlook pressing the enter key. Unfortunately, I can't do it much differently because, as far as I know, you can't reliably detect when the on-screen keyboard is closed.

You can start the program also with Ctrl+R or with Shift+Enter.

Because it has a width and height.

Something I've been tinkering with for a few years now - a learning programming language that runs in the browser and makes it easy to draw on the screen. https://easylang.dev/ide/

A problem: Long-running code or endless loops freeze the browser. In my programming language the program runs in the webworker. https://easylang.dev/

Then you can try out this teaching and learning language, which runs in the browser and is a bit like the old home computer BASIC versions. https://easylang.dev/ide/

Thanks for the info. My VPS server is down. I just moved to another server. Should be working again now.

After all, there are 6000 particles in total. Their positions are updated depending on the speed at every frame. Also the speed of each particle changes because of the gravity. Only the oldest about 30 particles, which have already fallen d

You are trying to justify your comment. You overestimate the mathematical judgment of most people. But all due respect to you for assessing it so accurately. I myself prefer to rely on a MC simulation.

It is dangerous to rely on common sense. Many people believe that with a little luck you can win at roulette. Even according to my common sense, I would not believe that the chance is so low. But a little MC simulation tells me how it reall

It is also about the "law of large numbers". If you go to the casino with $1000 and want to go home with $2000, the chance is more than 48% if you bet the $1000 on red. But if you play often and always bet $10 on red until you hav

The syntactic elements are not that different from Python, as you correctly point out. Actually, it is very similar to Lua. So I see it more as a little known but not esoteric programming language (like Brainf***). But semantically it is mu
