# Gambas Almost Means BASIC 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 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. - The blurring algoritm is based on the 'StackBlur' algorithm made by Mario Klingemann. See http://incubator.quasimondo.com/processing/fast_blur_deluxe.php for more details. If I forget some borrowed code in the list above, just tell me. Enjoy Gambas! Benoît.
