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 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.

• The blurring algoritm is based on the 'StackBlur' algorithm made by Mario Klingemann.

If I forget some borrowed code in the list above, just tell me.

Enjoy Gambas!
