BazzBasic is an original BASIC dialect — not a clone of any existing implementation. It aims to make programming accessible and enjoyable while providing modern capabilities such as sprite rendering, sound playback, HTTP networking, fast trigonometry lookup tables, and standalone executable compilation.

-
This reference is specific to BazzBasic 1.0. It should not be used to represent other BASIC dialects (QBasic, FreeBASIC, Liberty BASIC, etc.), as BazzBasic has its own distinct syntax and conventions.

## Key Language Characteristics
|
| 101 |
-
|
| 102 |
-
An AI model should understand these BazzBasic-specific rules to generate correct code:
|
| 103 |
-
|
| 104 |
-
**Variable and constant suffixes**
|
| 105 |
-
- `$` suffix = mutable variable (numbers or strings, typeless)
|
| 106 |
-
- `#` suffix = immutable constant
|
| 107 |
-
- Arrays declared with `DIM`, accessed with `arr$(index)`
|
| 108 |
-
|
| 109 |
-
**LET usage**
|
| 110 |
-
- `LET` declares a variable; use only once per variable
|
| 111 |
-
- Subsequent assignments use bare `var$ = value` syntax (no LET)
|
| 112 |
-
- Declaring all variables upfront in an `[inits]` subroutine is best practice
|
| 113 |
-
|
| 114 |
-
**Scope**
|
| 115 |
-
- Main program has a single flat scope
|
| 116 |
-
- `DEF FN` functions have completely isolated scope — no access to global variables, only global constants (`#`)
|
| 117 |
-
|
| 118 |
-
**Graphics**
|
| 119 |
-
- Always use `SCREENLOCK ON / SCREENLOCK OFF` for flicker-free animation
|
| 120 |
-
- `LINE (x1,y1)-(x2,y2), color, BF` (filled box) is faster than `CLS` for clearing
|
| 121 |
-
- Sprites are positioned by their **top-left point**
|
| 122 |
-
- `SCREENLOCK` blocks `GETCONSOLE` — use array-based collision detection instead
|
| 123 |
-
|
| 124 |
-
**FastTrig**
|
| 125 |
-
- `FastTrig(TRUE)` enables degree-based lookup tables for sin/cos
|
| 126 |
-
- Use `FastCos(angle)` / `FastSin(angle)` — angles in degrees, auto-normalized 0–359
|
| 127 |
-
- ~20x faster than `SIN`/`COS` — essential for raycasting, particle systems, etc.
|
| 128 |
-
|
| 129 |
-
**Naming conventions**
|
| 130 |
-
- Variables: `camelCase$`
|
| 131 |
-
- Constants: `UPPER_SNAKE_CASE#`
|
| 132 |
-
- Arrays: `camelCase$`
|
| 133 |
-
- Functions: `PascalCase$` (called with `FN` prefix)
|
| 134 |
-
- Subroutine labels: `[sub:name]`
|
| 135 |
-
|

| 34 |
+
|
| 35 |
+
The BazzBasic AI Guide **is not** a JSON dataset.
|
| 36 |
+
|
| 37 |
+
The BazzBasic AI Guide is a powerful guide produced and approved by Claude.ai, ChatGPT and Mistral Le Chat, specifically designed to be interpreted by AI.
|
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
## Usage
|
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
Download latest *BazzBasic-AI-guide* from **Files and versions**
|
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
+
Upload it to your AI's prompt or project file and it will instantly become a BazzBasic expert.

## Guide Summary
|
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
+
This guide contains the official language reference and AI guide for **BazzBasic**, a modern BASIC interpreter built on .NET 10 with SDL2 graphics and SDL2_mixer audio support. The guide is intended to enable AI models to accurately understand, explain, and generate valid BazzBasic code.
