Touch BASIC is a lightweight BASIC interpreter written in standard C. It is a dynamic typed programming language; it makes it flexible and easy to use. Touch BASIC supports structured syntax; implements a style of OOP(Object Oriented Programming) called prototype-based programming paradigm; and it offers a functional programming ability with lambda abstraction. The kernel is written with a C language.

The well-known programming language BASIC is an acronym for Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code; when we mention BASIC today, we often refer to the BASIC family, not any specific one. The BASIC family has a long history since an original BASIC was designed in 1964 by John George Kemeny and Thomas Eugene Kurtz at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire; and BASIC is famous because it is easy to learn and use all the time. Touch Basic (MY-BASIC) has a structured BASIC syntax, and offers many other retro and modern features. It would be familiar to you if you have ever programmed with another BASIC dialect, or other programming languages.

Touch BASIC Features:
+Tow modes: program/shell (command line).
+Multi program and directories support.
+Normal and powerful editor (enter the code directly to the editor).
+Built in help: Wiki, Reference.
+Sample programs provided.
+With both retro and modern BASIC syntax.
+Unicode support.
+Prototype-based programming (OOP) paradigm, with reflection support.
+Lambda abstraction enhanced functional programming.
+Collection construction and manipulation functions for LIST and DICT.
+Automatic releasing of referenced objects benefited from Reference Counting and Garbage Collection.
+Importing multiple source files with the IMPORT statement.

Use Touch Basic:
+Learn programming and modern scripting.
+Apply your programming skills.
+Rapid prototyping.
+Use it as advanced calculator.

Kindly Note: Touch Basic uses MY-BASIC 1.2 standards, so if you hit into undefined function see the alternative for it from the reference.
