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. Versions are available for System 6.0.7 thru Mac OS X 10.4, for systems from very old Mac 512Ke’s up thru the latest Apple iBooks and G5 PowerMacs. What’s new?

  • Fixed an atn() bug
  • Fixed Mac pInfo, bundle name-icon
  • Fixed macfunction savepicture
  • Added a way to draw text with bold or italic fonts
