I don\'t, if you mean a new program...

And the programming seems to be hard. WoW. Really.

I couldn\'t understand a word from the setup-texts ;)

Well, with time, I may someday learn to "communicate" with it :)

if you press the select button, you\'ll be transported to the bottom line, if you press the directional buttons left or right, you can choose a new sheet, on which you can start making a program, here\'s where you can press L1 for the keyboard, there are three sheets

Thanks ;)

But who can really make programs with it? :)

I sure can\'t.

I just need time, that\'s all.

And today I don\'t have... :p

Have you not seen the numorous threads about YABASIC lately?? I hope you\'re kidding...

YABASIC is a programming language for PS2. You won\'t get it in the States as far as I know. It was on the demo disc shipped in Europe and Australia.

not that it\'s important, but yabasic isn\'t a prolramming language for the ps2, they made a ps2 version of it, but it is in now way made for ps2, it\'s much to simplistic to make a good game or what not,
If you don\'t have the demo, try http://www.playstation-basic.com, it has a link to a site where you can download yabasic for your pc

Ok, then let me refrase it. YABASIC is a PS2 version of the BASIC programming language. It is just that - basic. Meaning you can\'t do much advanced stuff with it, but it can be fun to experiment with nontheless.

hahahaha, you\'ll probably think: what an ass, for correcting me, like it matters. I\'m sorry for that, but I need to correct you again, yabasic is NOT the ps2 version of the basic programming language, yabasic is a form of basic that has been released for pc, and now also for ps2.
sorry for saying this, please don\'t hit me

try

-------------
CLS

DIM x AS LONG
DIM s AS STRING * 80
DIM count AS LONG

\'initialize
FOR1 = 1
MID$(s, 1 + 1, 1) = CHR$(INT(RND * 200) + 50)
FOR x = 1 TO 1
NEXT

COLOR 2

DO
FOR x = 1 TO 4
MID$(s, (INT(RND * 20)) * 4 + 2, 1) = CHR$(INT(RND * 200) + 50)
NEXT x

PRINT s
\'PRINT

IF count < 60 THEN \'fill up initial screen fast, then go slow
count = count + 1
ELSE
FOR x = 1 TO 100000
\'delay
NEXT x
END IF

LOOP WHILE INKEY$ = ""
-------------

I\'m taking basic then C++
that creates a matrix like display
its primative but would be cool on a TV :)

Lol, like it matters. ;)

Ok. Let me rephrase that AGAIN. YABASIC is a variant of the BASIC programming language. You can find BASIC on many computers, ranging from Commodore 64 to Amiga to PC to - now - PS2.

I\'ll not hit you. Yet. :)

well, what can I say, that last reply was correct in any way, I\'m speechless,


















maybe it\'s best we forget about this little conversation and start doing things that actually make some sense

Lol, I hear ya. :D

So... Did anyone actually make something useful with YABASIC? I need an USB keyboard, because I\'m too lazy to use the controller to type with.
