X11-Basic (1991-2020)
The syntax is most similar to GFA-Basic on the ATARI-ST. It is a structured dialect with no line numbers.
A BASIC compiler is included so that you can make stand-alone binaries out of your programs (on all platforms except for Android). The compiler ( xbc) makes stand alone binaries out of the BASIC programs, which run much faster than the interpreted code. This is useful, if you want to include Graphics files (pictures, icons, etc..) or any other data, directly into your program.
