Cybiko B2C

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Cybiko B2C (Basic to C) compiler gives the BASIC programmer, the same processing power as a SDK/C programmer. B2C has all the power of CyBasic plus these capabilities too:

  • Sprite-oriented Bit-mapped graphics
  • 3D Graphics
  • Multiplayer (Wireless) capability
  • Music (foreground/background)
  • Simple Dialog Boxes
  • Fonts
  • Inline C calls
  • Menus
  • High Scores for games
  • Vibrate
  • Fixed point arithmetic variables (decimals)

When a B2C program is compiled it is tranlasted into a C file. Then, the C program is passed through the Cybiko SDK/C compiler resulting in a true Cybiko application (.app) file. A compiled CyBasic program can run from 5 to 10 times faster than with interpretted CyBasic. One needn't know anything about C programming to use B2C.

B2C is delivered with several example programs including side scrollers, 3d graphics, and playfield graphics. There is even a book on Lulu.com with all the documentation published in printed form.

B2C was written by Greg Smith and is maintained at DevCybiko.us, the last bastion of Cybiko developers.
