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! |
