I want to become a programmer in the future. Is this a good place to start?

yes i think so ,but try c++ afterwards.

I recommend learning (at least a little) Python with Codecademy, and then go to SmileBASIC. Not everything in Python will apply to SmileBASIC, but the basic concepts will carry over. After moving to SmileBASIC, feel free to ask the community questions!

Yeah, Smile BASIC is software for programming beginners♪

I have been at Codeacademy a little bit, but I don't know what Python is so I'll check that out when I can.

I just realized this game isn't even available in Europe, so... there's that opportunity :(

Sorry! Smile BASIC of European version has not yet released ….

There's another program called Petit Computer... Do you know anything about it?

It's Petitcom No.3 of Japanese version. 1.Petitcom 2.Petitcom Mk-2 3.Petitcom No.3(= Smile BASIC)

Oh! But... should I get Petit Computer then? Because that's available in Europe...

Smile BASIC resembles Petitcom Mk-2, but is not compatible. The software made in Mk-2 does not work in Smile BASIC. The software made in Smile BASIC does not work in Mk-2.

So things that you've programmed in Mk-2 are not compatible in Smile Basic and vice versa?

If we remake the program for Smile BASIC version, we can use the program made in Mk-2.

Of course...
