i never used basic for 3ds but i used microsoft's visual basic. im sure the language is similar. im a pretty good coder. btw your artworks are so awesome
If you're you want to learn how to program other things, I'd strongly recommend starting with Java instead. Maybe Python. There really isn't any point in starting with a language that doesn't support objects.
If you just want to make stuff with the app? It might we worth visiting the developer's site and find any API and/or tutorials for the flavour of BASIC they're using.
This is a special kind of basic (named SmileBASIC of course) so I suggest checking out the enclosed instruction manual
There is also smilebasicsource, which is where people discuss about smilebasic and where public keys are stored
@Heitarou
Sekushii o v o ?
@Alysa
Hmm, well the pictures I've been drawing on lately have been programmed and designed by the Japanese (which I find absolutely amazing) some people have created some rpg's too
@Nin neko
thank you ó v o )/)
and I wonder if they're similar
@Trip
well I did look at a couple of his tutorials, but the first couple that I read focused mostly on accessing -
There are a lot of options:
1. There are tutorials on SmileBasicSource(Check the tutorials written by randomouscrap)
2. PetitProfessor have uploaded some tutorials on Youtube.
3. The digital manual that comes with SmileBasic (Ingame help is also useful but the digital manual is more complete)
You should start to learn how to program with the following topics: make a "hello world", usage of variables and arrays, control structure and functions definition(def).
The best place to start is probably the official e-manual. You can check it out here:
smilebasic.com/en/e-manual/manual11
Aside from that, you can probably pick instructions that interest you from the reference manual and play around with them. A lot of people learn to code like this.
If you have a computer and it's running Windows, I would suggest learning Batch. It's a very easy to learn command based programming language already built into Windows. If you don't have Windows, I would suggest Scratch. If you want something a little more complicated try C++ or Java. You can find tutorials for SmileBASIC at the SmileBASIC source website.
@Everyone
sorry I haven't been replying much < v > it's just a lot of information. Thankyou for all of the tips
@Heitarou
I don't think I understand orz|||

I'm only using what I've taken, and if other people made games to draw on through Smile Basic, I'm up for it. I wouldn't be posting it here if I could export it in the first place. I'm technically using it in the right way even-
though it's uncommon ó v ò;
also handwriting is quicker for me than typing so that's why I did it (which means I can say more too) -this is just a base for extra questions because I accidently deleted the old one but it didn't take long.
It's alright, I know you're not hating ò v ó )b !
I also feel guilty that I draw here a lot anyway
Forget anyone who says that any language without objects shouldn't be learned (it's absolutely naïve), forget anyone who says that C/C++ would be good (it's nearly impossible for someone who's only used BASIC), forget anyone who says JavaScript is good (it's a terrible language).
BASIC is really just a genre of languages. Many languages fall into that category. There's SmileBasic, QBasic, [cont]
[cont] Visual Basic (though that's hardly basic), etc.
I would suggest a language like Python, Lua, or OCaml. Those are all relatively easy and they are quite different in programming style. My personal favorite language is C#, followed closely by Haskell. You may find C# to work well, but Haskell is much more difficult to learn, and I don't suggest learning it early on. F# is closer to [cont]
[cont] Haskell and is much easier to learn, especially since it's based on the .NET framework. It will be similar to C# and Visual Basic, if you choose to learn those.
Whatever your decision, do much research.
OMG SORRYYY
giving untrue information feels bad
might be a reading mistake with the girl who gave me the information when i asked for it
uhg my super apologies
@Cris
First of all, wut xD ?
Just tell me what you wanna say and I'll hear
ó v ò;
@Phillip
I'm gonna have to get back to you, but Thankyou for the information ò v ó ~
Instead of learning a non-SmileBASIC language, ignore all programming language suggestions and go to smilebasicsource.com and you'll find quite a few tutorials there.
@Scientist It's cool. Yea I tried learning C++ as my first language after learning Petit Computer ("prequel" to SmileBasic) about four years ago, and I couldn't get past flow control.
