BASIC Expansion
From C64-Wiki
(Redirected from BASIC-Extension)
Jump to navigationJump to searchA BASIC expansion enhances and improves the original BASIC commands. Some BASIC expansions are used for general purposes, while others are optimized for special purposes - e.g. graphics, sound, disk management, or for easier programming.
Types of BASIC expansions[edit | edit source]
On a C64, a BASIC expansion can be loaded by floppy disk (software) or by cartridge (hardware) in the expansion port. The BASIC expansion is programmed in machine code.
- Generating machine code over DATA statements within BASIC programs. This is a very popular way.
- Loading the BASIC expansion by floppy disk, before running a program with the new commands of the BASIC expansion.
- Using a compiler, like Basic-Boss
- Using a cartridge with a BASIC expansion.
|
Attention: BASIC programs which contain enhanced commands are only useable when the BASIC expansion is loaded. Otherwise, BASIC V2 displays error messages! |
