Cybiko B2C
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Cybiko B2C (Basic to C) compiler gives the BASIC programmer, the same processing power as a SDK/C programmer. B2C has all the power of CyBasic plus these capabilities too:
- Sprite-oriented Bit-mapped graphics
- 3D Graphics
- Multiplayer (Wireless) capability
- Music (foreground/background)
- Simple Dialog Boxes
- Fonts
- Inline C calls
- Menus
- High Scores for games
- Vibrate
- Fixed point arithmetic variables (decimals)
When a B2C program is compiled it is tranlasted into a C file. Then, the C program is passed through the Cybiko SDK/C compiler resulting in a true Cybiko application (.app) file. A compiled CyBasic program can run from 5 to 10 times faster than with interpretted CyBasic. One needn't know anything about C programming to use B2C.
B2C is delivered with several example programs including side scrollers, 3d graphics, and playfield graphics. There is even a book on Lulu.com with all the documentation published in printed form.
B2C was written by Greg Smith and is maintained at DevCybiko.us, the last bastion of Cybiko developers.
