A compiler for BASIC programming language.

Why do you need C in the source code ?

Hi, Anca.
The compiler proper doesn't use C code, generated code does, it has references to some support functions.
Those support functions are declared in basiclib.h and defined in basiclib.c .

Please explain how it works.
Do you get executables from basic programs ?

Yes. I generates C code from a basic program and you compile the C.

I just edited the project README to clarify this point. This tool generates C code that you submits to the C compiler for your particular platform.

Feel free to classify the tool anyway you like, Anca.
I don't buy the distinction between "compiler" and "transpiler" because it's the same thing. They read code in some language and generates code in some language.
I picked C for output because it is utterly portable and everyone could enjoy the games. Any other output format would exclude someone.

It could be done, Robert. Then the programs would run in every platform that Go runs, quite a few!

Today I learned a fellow programmer did just that! His name is Everton Marques.
