Tiny Basic missing
I just received the Hydra book and CD.
I am trying to find the Tini Basic stuff, but I can not find it.
Is this Tiny Basic in this book or I have to buy the Hydra board?

but that work has not been done and I'm not sure it "should" be done (for some definition of "should"). However, it
does prove how trivial a Spin-based BASIC can be.
The actual interpreter part of things could probably (?) be moved to assembly language for a speed bump.
Personally, if I were doing a BASIC for the propellor, I'd probably base it on something closer to the old BASIC09
for OS/9 (the Microware OS/9, not the Mac OS/9). This is a much more structured BASIC that retains the
accessibility but doesn't make Djikstra spin in his grave quite so much.
(Oh, and "fb" stands for "femto basic" in case anyone asks.)

Is the Hydra Tiny Basic faster than spin?
GAvin
Specially I miss the PLOT function !
By the way, in my own Hydra board Tiny Basic locks sometimes. I suspect my board has something wrong so it may be a hardware problem and not software related.

I will bug the author again to see how he is doing on a 2.0 verison with graphics, gamepad, and sound support. Then it will be really useful to get real work done and write some simple games, etc.
