WELCOME TO GAMBAS!

GAMBAS is a free implementation of a graphical development environment based on a BASIC interpreter and a full development platform. It is very inspired by Visual Basic and Java.

Go to http://gambas.sourceforge.net to get more information: how to compile and install it, where to find binary packages, how to report a bug...

Go to http://gambaswiki.org for language documentation.

The following pieces of code were borrowed and adapted:

• The natural string comparison algorithme was adapted from the algorithm made by Martin Pol. See http://sourcefrog.net/projects/natsort/ for more details.

• The hash table implementation was adapted from the glib one.

• The HTML entities parsing in gb.gtk comes from KHTML sources.

• The gb.image.effect sources are adapted from KDE 3 image effect routines.

• The gb.clipper and gb.clipper2 components embeds the Clipper and Clipper2 library respectively. See https://angusj.com/clipper2/Docs/Overview.htm for more details.

• The function that computes the easter day of a specific year uses an algorithm made by Aloysius Lilius And Christophorus Clavius.

• The blurring algoritm is based on the StackBlur algorithm made by Mario Klingemann. See http://incubator.quasimondo.com/processing/fast_blur_deluxe.php for more details.

• The javascript automatic completion is done with autoComplete from Simon Steinberger / Pixabay, and is published under the MIT license. See https://github.com/Pixabay/JavaScript-autoComplete for more details.

• The gb.form.htmlview component embeds the litehtml library from Yuri Kobets. See http://www.litehtml.com for more details.

• The gb.hash component embeds the code of the hashing routines of BusyBox made by Denys Vlasenko and Bernhard Reutner-Fischer. See https://www.busybox.net/ for more details.

• The stock icons flags were generated from SVG files taken from https://github.com/smucode/react-world-flags. They are published under the MIT license.

• The algorithm of the Paint.SmoothPolyline() method is based on https://www.particleincell.com/2012/bezier-splines/ and https://www.jacos.nl/jacos_html/spline/circular/index.html.

If I forget some borrowed code in the list above, just tell me.

Enjoy Gambas!
