On the original demo disk you get when you buy a ps2 has anyone checked out the preloaded programs on YA Basic? You can check out some graphic effects. They are pretty stink. But there is a all little worm game. It\'s really cheap but fun for about 10 minutes.

When you first load YA basic up just push select. Then push accross to go to NEW - A Then go to load page. Load up the pre built in code.

The game is called worms. The other ones a stink. Just show cheesy graphics that the SNES could do.

If you can program in any Basic language you should be able to do it in YA Basic. It\'s familiar. I\'m learning Visual Basic so I sort of know what I\'m doing

If you are learning Visual Basic, I recommend "Visual Basic 6 from Ground Up" by Cornell and also of course you can\'t go wrong with the "Offical Microsoft Visual Basic 6 Documentation" or whatever they are called. They are good books that cover the basics and so on.

Here is the official site:

http://www.playstation-basic.com/yabasic/index.html

and here is another cool site:


http://www.yabasic.co.uk/files.html#games

Check out the second if you feel like playing pong or Who wants to be a Millionare.

Only thing is this??...who the hell is going to take their time to insert all the coding??...for all if you do not have a USB keyboard.

What do you guys think?

Its a shame that Sony didnt do anything with YA-Basic on the PS2, could have been a great way to get people interested in developing their own games - but look on coverdiscs and in the magazines and you see nothing about YA-Basic, even the Playstation-Basic site remains virtually unchanged since its launch.

For those interested in looking at using Basic for games development maybe they should try out these two versions of Basic aimed at games development:
- http://www.blitzbasic.com
- http://www.darkbasic.com

Also does anyone remember that fully featured games development kit for the PS2 released in Japan that was based around Basic? Has there been any new news on it?

Has anyone here used a USB keyboard for the programming?...instead of the control.  I will, not the hell, use the control to program any games because I would sit from now to the end of the month just to program Pong.

No way. It is a simple language, thanks to the Visual aspect of it.

In alot of languages you have to code everything include the buttons. In VB, it is a simple matter of drag and drop the button, then link the button to the event you wish for it..

The only time VB gets complicated is if you decide to incorpate the Windows API and that still isn\'t hard. It just takes alittle more paitence.

Overall, its nothing hard and a great entry level programming language.  Just read books and try everything. Then, after you have masted that language, if you find you enjoy programming, you can always move to a more open-ended language, such as C/ C++.
