BaCon

Bacon is a basic to c converter developped in bash. the syntax is modern and the generated programs are autonomous and very fast. there is an editor but I prefer to configure it under geany. allows to realize programs in command line or with graphical interface. easy to use. available only for linux unix macos.

example of code found in the official site :


'landscape.bac

REM Landscape program ported to BaCon
INCLUDE "hug.bac", INIT, WINDOW, CANVAS, ATTACH, SQUARE, LINE, OUT, TIMEOUT, KEY, RESETKEY, DISPLAY

REM Color definition
DEF FN col$(v) = "#" & HEX$(v) & HEX$(v) & HEX$(v)

REM Size of the canvas

   OUT("Press space for a new landscape...", "#FFFFFF", col$(colour+23), 10, 500)

END SUB

REM Check for <space> or <escape>
FUNCTION Key_Press

   IF KEY() = 32 THEN
       Draw_Landscape
   ELIF KEY() = 65307 THEN

   ENDIF

   RESETKEY

END FUNCTION

REM Define the canvas
INIT

cvs = CANVAS(Width, Height)
ATTACH(win, cvs, 0, 0)
