Is Rcbasic suitable for starting to learn programming?

Sorry for the late reply, I was gone all day. RCBasic is actually not a new language, I have been working on this since 2015. It has gone through a lot of changes over the past 3 years. It is designed to be as beginner friendly as possible. As such I have made a commitment to keeping a lot of complex features like classes, templates, and other complex stuff out of it. As far as being clever enough, you don't have to be a genius to learn programming. I have youtube videos on it, but I am actually working on a new tutorial series that is aimed at being more beginner friendly. It is also suitable for development on android and is very easy to get up and running on android devices. I would like to get more people in the forum but this is a widely unheard of project. I am on the forum almost everyday and I try to answer every question within 24 hours (I am not always successful, but I will eventually answer your question). If you get through the 4 Intro tutorials, I will post a link to my new youtube tutorial series as soon as I post the first video.

Thanks for all your feedback. Also be sure to check out 3.0.4 which I am going to try to get up in the next 2 days. It mainly focuses on improving performance on android but it is also adding a new keyword and some minor improvements for Windows and Linux. I am also looking at getting the first set of videos up Saturday. Be sure to check out some of the stuff that has been posted in the forum already as there is a lot of useful info already on here. And like I said before, I may not post something on here everyday but I do check this forum everyday to answer questions.

PS Thanks for the compliments on my games, I made both of them over like a 2 week period so they didn't have a lot of polish put in them. RCBasic is actually capable of a lot more.

To answer your question, you can ship your game with the rcbasic runtime.

On windows, go into the dist folder and copy all the *.dll files into your project directory (wherever the *.cbc created by the rcbasic compiler is). Then copy rcbasic.exe to that folder and change its name to <the name of your *.cbc file>.exe.

On Linux, just follow the instructions in the text file in the dist folder.

It is very similiar to love2d and many other modern frameworks that depend on a runtime. I will make a video covering this as well but you should not have much of a problem distributing your game on any modern distribution platforms (ie. steam, GOG, itch.io, Google Play, or as a Disc based game).

And your game will run on Windows, Linux, and Android with very few changes to your code (there is platform specific stuff like touch screen support that will need to be changed to run on other platforms obviously).
