C.Basic - Casio Basic IDE add-in for fx-9860 and fx-CG graphing calculators

English | Français | 日本語 | 中文(简体)

C.Basic (pronounce "c-dot-basic") is the reference implementation of Casio Basic, written in Casio SDK for fx-9860 and miniSDK for fx-CG.

The add-in is designed for programmers who want to incorporate SDK-exclusive features to their Casio Basic programs, without having to use their PC to compile an add-in and worry about the error-prone debugging environment of C/C++.

C.Basic is only an interpreter at the current stage. In the future, C.Basic will evolve into C:Basic ("c-colon-basic") which includes a compiler.

Features

• Achieve add-in like performance with little to no modifications to existing Casio Basic programs
• Access and edit programs directly in SMEM and SD card
• Robust editor with features from modern IDE — syntax highlighting, indentation, variable/matrix lookup and debugging
• Extended commands with Casio Basic style syntax
• Emulate G1M programs in fx-CG calculators

Things to know

• If you are an fx-CG10 or fx-CG20 user, C.Basic will ask whether you want it to overclock your calculator to increase the performance on the screen transfer.
  • The mechanic is based on Ptune2, an overclocking add-in made by the same author of C.Basic. This prompt will increase your processor core clock (IFC) from 58.98 MHz to 117.96 MHz.
  • Since overclocking could be potentially dangerous, use it at your own risk. You can disable this prompt in the settings at anytime.
• As C.Basic is written in C/C++, it uses floating point to express numbers instead of binary-coded decimal that Casio Basic uses. As such, handling non-integers may cause numerical errors. You are advised not to use C.Basic for applications involving serious calculations.
