About this exhibit
This is an original, browser-based BASIC interpreter for museum learning. It supports numbered program lines, variables, expressions, loops, subroutines, data statements, local saves and built-in demos.
Historical context
Home computers of the early 1980s often opened directly into BASIC, making programming part of the first encounter with the machine. This exhibit presents that approachable, keyboard-first style as a browser-based learning environment.
Recreation notice
No original Commodore ROMs or proprietary software are used or distributed. This is not an official Commodore product.
The interpreter, command responses and demo programs are independently created for education.
