This Isn't BASIC

This isn't BASIC.

I think it is. I know a very simply test - just print 2+2. You don't need to open console or call MSGBOX, you just get the result. I've tried many dialects like PowerBasic for Win (THIS is not a BASIC at all ) version of which I liked so much under DOS, or JustBASIC or PureBASIC (yes it can use OGRE but this is not a BASIC). I mean you can write
SCREEN 18
CIRCLE (100,100),100,11
SLEEP

and you get freakin' circle. Actually I use C# but I just tried to find simply BASIC for Win, like Quick-BASIC for nostalgia reasons and I finally found it. Thanks guys for your work!

Welcome to FreeBASIC.

This is an old topic, but concerns PureBasic so I thought that I will append a few words. I tried to write a simple program in PureBasic, but it took me a couple of days. This language is strange, difficult, and not very logical to me. Otherwise when I first came into contact with FreeBASIC, after reading a few sentences in the help/manual, I immediately started to write some very simple programs. They look good and work. However, with the PureBasic I sat a couple of days, and I was angry for a comprehensive but difficult to read help/manual, complaining about the lack of simplified tutorial to help beginners, and bizarre dialect syntax of PB.
