RCBasic 4.7 is a versatile development suite that goes far beyond simple graphics. It is a multi-platform powerhouse capable of targeting:
- Linux, Windows, and Android.
Key features include advanced 2D and 3D graphics, integrated physics engines, and networking capabilities for complex software development.
To ensure a successful experience within the sandboxed environment, developers must follow these rules:
- Save Before Compile: You MUST press Ctrl+S to save your code before clicking Compile. The RCBasic compiler reads the source file directly from the disk storage, not from the active editor memory.
- Architecture: This Flatpak uses a specialized launch script to manage a runtime workspace in
/tmp/rcbasic-runtimeto ensure proper file permissions and library access.
The suite is built using over 110 shared libraries, providing a full-featured environment including:
- Multimedia: SDL2 suite (including SDL2_mixer and SDL2_net).
- Interface: wxWidgets 3.2.
- Engines: Bullet Physics, Box2D, and Lerc for data handling.
