Chipmunk Basic — Official Site

Chipmunk Basic is an excellent implementation by Ronald H. Nicholson, Jr. It is free and multi–platform. You can even write UNIX shell scripts with it! Here is one I wrote as an example:


            #!/opt/local/bin/basic
            10 CLS
            20 PRINT "BASIC LIVES!"
            30 PRINT
            exit(0);
        

Note: I put my copy of the basic interpreter inside of my MacPorts bin, even though there isn’t yet a MacPorts port for Chipmunk Basic. Don’t let that confuse you. You are probably better off putting it in /usr/local/bin/ or something. And the shebang line could just as well be #!/usr/bin/env basic, to make it portable.
