sdlbasic quick help

sdlBasic is a little basic for make simple games in 2d

This basic run on :
linux(with a reasonable recent version)
windows (9x and nt-XP based)
macOSX
FreeBSD
OpenBSD
MorphOS
AmigaOS

This basic is another demostration to the GPL's power
the basic interpreter come from wxbasic by David Cuny ("http://wxbasic.sourceforge.net") distribuited under lGPL
The graphic system is based uppon SDL graphics libraries family("http://www.libsdl.org")distribuited under GPL
The graphics engine was initially based on the aliens demo game ("http://www.libsdl.org/projects/aliens")
written in c and distribuited on GPL, later graphic engine was re-written from scratch.
putpixel and getpixel routines are derivated from SDL tutorial and was improved with Gigi Davassi suggestions
The original line rutine was imported from Alvyn Basic with Author's write permission.
I used also the source of sdldraw library ("http://sdl-draw.sourceforge.net/") ever lGPL

I cut, pasted and adapted code distribuited under lGPL.
This software is subject to lGPL license and is free as every program used to create it
