Emergence BASIC 1.72

Emergence BASIC 1.72 is a 32-bit BASIC compiler from Ionic Wind Software featuring an integrated development environment with syntax similar to the BASIC programming language.

Emergence BASIC creates small and fast Windows programs that support all 32-bit Windows versions. The environment is modular with new commands available separately using add-on command libraries. Advanced 2D games and graphics library, database library, and 3D games and graphics library are included. Supports both procedural and Object Oriented Programming (OOP).

No external runtime is needed to distribute software created with Emergence BASIC and no royalties or fees ever on anything you create.

It is a full featured compiler and development environment for Windows. Creates small, fast, native executables and DLLs. The environment is modular with new commands available separately using add-on command libraries.. An advanced 2D game and graphics command set, 3D engine, and database command set is included. The robust IDE sports a source level debugger, integrated GUI designer, and resouce editor.
