It's here! It's fina-lilly here!
Good bye job, school, and social life, SmileBASIC is here!
I'm so hyped right now! So many ideas for games and projects... Time to get started!
SmileBASIC is an app that allows you to program and create your own games and apps in a programming language called SmileBASIC. It's a sequel to Petit Computer, which was a DSiWare app. Someone managed to recreate Mega Man 2 in Petit Computer, for example, and since this is the sequel, the possibilities are endless!
It costs $10, but yes, you can download other peoples' programs, as well as share your own. They get uploaded to an online server, and you get a code you can share with others to download your game!
Yeah, I know! (You could probably figure out that I follow Petit Computer really closely!) I'm not like, *super* excited for it, since it's basically exactly the same as SmileBASIC (Albeit more powerful!), but it will definitely be nice to be able to play games on the big screen. I feel like it will kind of be like WarioWare D.I.Y. showcase was, except you'll still be able to develop in it.
That's just me, anyways. I think I would prefer to program on my 3DS, since I can take it anywhere, and I've never minded the touchscreen keyboard, so USB keyboard support doesn't excite me all that much. I think the thing I'm most looking forward to about it is multiplayer, since it can all be on the same screen and not everyone needs their own system!
