AnyaBasic

[A]bsolutely [N]ot [Y]our [A]verage BASIC

"The little toy language that could."

AnyaBASIC is a portable Interpreted Programming Language made in Java. 
It has a syntax similar to BASIC with a bit of C, Javascript and PASCAL thrown in.

This is a "Toy Language", so don't expect much. However, while this started as a "joke",
this language evolved into something which is capable of doing a
lot more(games, graphics, etc). It's also a language whose keywords are in English 
so it should be a good language to use in teaching kids how to program.

Release 1.1.0

Installing:

* Unzip the archive to any directory of your choice.
* C:/Programming/ is recommended for the ConTEXT IDE to work.
* There's a video of how to set up an offline version
  of Context on my facebook page(read the docs for the link).

How to run the sample codes:

Usage: java -jar AnyaBasic.jar <source.abs>

* Just type the above line on the terminal/console or
* Double click any of the "runxxxxxx.bat" for Windows users.  
* For graphics and sound apps, you need to include the lib path:
> java -Djava.library.path=. -jar AnyaBasic.jar  <source.abs>
* See the batch and SH files in the samples section.
* Just use the IDE <AnyaBasicIDE.jar> to simplify usage.

How to Compile:

I used Eclipse so it may be different depending on what IDE you use.
1. File -> Import Existing projects into wokspace.
2. Project -> Properties -> Java Build Path -> 
	Libraries tab -> Add Jars.
3. Add all the jars in the /libs folder.
		* jinput.jar
		* lwjgl.jar
		* lwjgl_util.jar
		* pngdecoder-1.0.jar
4. Export as a "Runnable Jar"

Note: AnyaBasic.jar needs to be in the same directory as the native files (DLL, SO, dylib)
Fun fact:

* The language supports "jejemon" and "tagalog" keywords. 
* Please read the docs for the keyword counterparts or open and run
  "jejetaggame.abs"
