Questions tagged [gambas]

Gambas is an object-oriented dialect of the BASIC programming language as well as the integrated development environment that accompanies it.

Designed to run on Linux and other Unix-like computer operating systems,[3] its name is a recursive acronym for Gambas Almost Means Basic. Gambas is also the word for prawns in the Portuguese and Spanish languages, from which the project's logos are derived.

Gambas is included in a number of Linux distributions' repositories, such as Debian's, Fedora's, Mandriva Linux's and Ubuntu's. There is a Windows version of Gambas which can run under the Cygwin environment, although this version is significantly less tested than its Linux counterparts and is command line only; coLinux and derivatives have also been used.
