DS Basic is a BASIC code loader for the NDS.

It is based on a program called Integer Tiny Basic.

User guide

List of all command currently available: (assignment), PRINT, INPUT, IF, THEN, FOR, NEXT, GOTO, GOSUB, RETURN, END, FORGET, PEEK, POKE, LOCATE, COLOR, VBLANK, GETKEY, GETCHR, MAP, LOAD, RUN.

There are 26 variables available (A-Z), which can only store integers (no strings), but you can also store things in the maps (4 layers, 0=screen, 1=cursor layer, 2 and 3=hidden, each layer 32x32, but only 32x24 is visible).

Line numbers are accepted but not required. You can use ? short for PRINT, but you cannot type LET before an assignment.

Typing NEW will clear the buffer so you can enter a new program. You can enter a program by typing the line numbers before the commands you want to enter. Type LIST to view the program you already typed in.

If you edit programs inside the Nintendo DS using this software, the program requires line-numbers, but if you edit it on your computer using Notepad or vi or something else, it does not require line numbers.

Controls
