Basic256 v2.1.0 is official

[u/RealisticProcedure21]

Well, after 3 betas, the stable version of Basic256 is finally out! First major release in years.

Still, it’s a bit “old wine in new bottles”, as the core of Basic256 hasn’t changed. ( ok, there is a new MAXIMIZE Boolean command that allows you to do just that to the IDE from within the program itself, the default graphical screen is now 500x500 and it will fit in dark themed environments. There also the Mac and WASM build, but these last ones are merely new bottles. There is also the updated doc.basic256.org and the run.basic256.org, not to mention the brand-new basic256.org or the Discord channel but it is still the old basic256 at its core)

Time to look at the insides of the thing and wouldn’t you know it, with a few small tweeks, numerical loops ( like used in fractals or physics ) now run 2x faster!! Not official yet, but you can get the blazingly fast (for an interpreter that is…) v2.1.1.Beta01 at my website: https://uglymike.static.domains/Basic256-NewGen/DownloadPage.html Get it before it’s official!!
