# WELCOME TO GAMBAS!
GAMBAS is a free implementation of a graphical development environment
based on a BASIC interpreter and a full development platform. It is very
inspired by Visual Basic and Java.
Go to [http://gambas.sourceforge.net] to get more information: how to compile
and install it, where to find binary packages, how to report a bug...
Go to [http://gambaswiki.org] for the language documentation.
The following pieces of code were borrowed and adapted:
- The natural string comparison algorithme was adapted from the algorithm
made by Martin Pol. See http://sourcefrog.net/projects/natsort/ for more
details.
- The hash table implementation was adapted from the glib one.
- The HTML entities parsing in gb.gtk comes from KHTML sources.
- The gb.image.effect sources are adapted from KDE 3 image effect routines.
- The blur image algorithm was adapted from the StackBlur javascript
routine from http://www.quasimondo.com/StackBlurForCanvas.
- The gb.clipper library embeds the Clipper library. See
http://www.angusj.com/delphi/clipper.php for mode details.
- The function that computes the easter day of a specific year uses an
algorithm made by Aloysius Lilius And Christophorus Clavius.
If I forget some borrowed code in the list above, just tell me.
Enjoy Gambas!
Benoît.
