HotPaw Basic for Android

Thanks so much for providing this! I've been looking for a BASIC that wasn't stripped down, be mobile for my Android, and was delighted this is it! I'm an amateur astronomer and I was using an awkward spreadsheet out in the field, which was cumbersome/very time-consuming to keep updated. Now I've written a program to handle it automatically. I spend more time preparing for my next viewing run instead of missing it! Thanks again!

How do you force a program to terminate short of exiting the app?

Needs better docs on using some functions, especially the accelerometer, touch, and vibrate functions. Very cumbersome editor also. Overall a fun way to relive the days of old basic line numbered spaghetti code and to appreciate how good coders have it now!! Also crashes sometimes when getting out of the full edit mode. Hopefully subsequent releases will address some or all of these issues.

This by far the most fun basic interpreter on the Android to code for. My only request is for document interaction support (so you can take a text, bas, or image file from another app and import it into this one, and export arbitrary files to other apps)

It is more a toy than a programming language. The function RND gives very weird results. I suspect problems with other functions as well. Good luck to the reviewer who said he was writing probabilistic simulations. In addition, it is VERY cumbersome to edit your program. Just an overpriced toy.
