Feature added by: Lee Matheson (oldcpu) Feature #308471, revision 1 Title: KBasic Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Lee Matheson (oldcpu) Description: I also added this as a desired package for openSUSE-11.3, being not certain where it belongs: https://features.opensuse.org/308466 KBasic is a programming language which is simply intuitive and easy to learn. It is a new programming language, a further BASIC dialect and is related to VB.NET™, Visual Basic®, Visual Basic for Application® and Java™. It combines many features of those tools and comes with built-in backward support for those tools and QBasic® as it is 100% syntax compatible to VB6, VBA and QBasic®. A web page with more information on KBasic to assist in any evaluation as to whether it is worth the effort to include in openSUSE package: http://kbasic.com/ (http://kbasic.com/) A big advantage is its reasonably similar look/feel will mean users migrating to openSUSE Linux from MS-Windows will be more at home with a programming language reasonably similar to what they are used to. Also, independant of what ever one may think of users migrating from a "Redmond" based operating system, in my view openSUSE needs a basic visual programming language for all openSUSE users who want a simple programming environment. It does not matter how the users arrived at openSUSE, nor where they originated from. openSUSE needs such a user friendly programming language environment. This kbasic package can provide that environment. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308471
