Chipmunk Basic 3.6.2b5 for Mac OS X Released
Chipmunk Basic for Mac OS X is an old-fashioned Basic interpreter which runs on almost all Macs. Chipmunk Basic uses a vintage traditional-style command-line console, but note that line numbers are not required to run Basic program written using an external text editor. Supported features on Mac OS X include color graphics, sprites, sound (including Quicktime MIDI sounds and morse code), speech synthesis, matrix ops, AppleScript, network sockets, pipes, serial I/O, and even some rudimentary OOP capabilities.
