Talk:BASIC interpreter
The article is missing the following, at the least:
- Useful diagram summarizing the typical architecture of a BASIC interpreter
- Discussion of the earliest BASIC interpreters, which were written for minicomputers
- Discussion of two interpreters that predated Altair BASIC:
- One a government-funded project, programmed on a minicomputer for an 8008
- SCELBAL, for the 8008
- The ANSI standardization of BASIC
- Support for computed GOTO, in Integer BASIC as well as Tiny BASIC (e.g., GOTO 100*X instead of ON X GOTO 100, 200, 300)
- Add note about new graphic commands, perhaps starting with Level I
- Memory maps
- PEEK/POKE — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.203.144.219 (talk) 22:58, 1 August 2020 (UTC)
- Update bibliography; add Further Reading with annotated source for PATB, Altair, Atari BASIC, and Integer BASIC
- TI GPL virtual machine
- Comparison of most common BASIC keywords
- Discussion of switch from Integer BASIC because of floating point and Woz working on the floppy disk drive
- List annotated source code for Further Reading:
- Tom Pittman's
- PATB
- Atari BASIC
- SCELBAL
- Altair BASIC annotated
- Integer BASIC
Done:
- Add table contrasting extent of tokenization
