thinBasic

All applications you use to your advantage follow a strict set of rules, dictated by the code they are written in. One of the final steps in development is compiling the source code in order to get a file accessible by the end user. Amongst others, thinBasic is a powerful compiler that promises to make it all easier.

The overall design is kept simple in order to allow anyone to quickly accommodate. A side panel provides the means to navigate to the location of your project files, and once opened, a code browser makes sure you can easily access areas of interest. The rest of the space is dedicated to the code itself, with the possibility to view and edit as you see fit.

You can customize colors for the integrated syntax highlighter so that it suits your taste. Taking a look through the tools put at your disposal you come across a character map, as well as quick access points for the command prompt and file explorer.

In case you simply want to test out previously created applications, an integrated debugger lets you put your project under the scope to detect any possible flaws in the code. What's more, the application lets you keep everything secure through obfuscating, and you can also choose to run the script afterward.

Once you're done, an executable file is created in the blink of an eye by bundling all code. Doing so enables you to include additional parameters, choose to also obfuscate the main script, compress files, as well as activating isolation and verbose mode. Additional files can be included so that your package is complete for distribution.

All things considered, thinBasic lives up to expectations and manages to deliver the proper means to analyze code and bundle it in a product that can aid the end user through its dedicated purpose. Resource consumption is not something to worry about, and beginners, as well as experts easily get familiar with the intuitive interface.
