BazzBasic 0.9 Released! 🎉

BazzBasic 0.9 is now available as binary and source.

What's New in 0.9

The latest update brings some additions aimed for game developers.

New Math & Utility Functions:

• LERP(start, end, t) — Linear interpolation between two values
• DISTANCE() — Calculate 2D or 3D distances with a single call
• CLAMP(n, min, max) — Keep values within bounds without verbose IF chains
• BETWEEN(value, min, max) — Quick range checking that returns TRUE/FALSE
• EULER — The mathematical constant e ≈ 2.718281828459045
• TAU and QPI — Convenient constants for 2π and π/4

Graphics Enhancement:

• VSYNC(TRUE/FALSE) — Control vertical sync for smooth rendering or uncapped frame rates

Roadmap to 1.0

The next milestone will introduce some interesting things:

HTTP Support — Make GET and POST requests directly from BazzBasic. Fetch data from APIs, download files, or send data to web services.

Sprite Sheets — LOADSHEET(filename, width, height) will slice sprite sheet images into individual frames stored in an array, making 2D game animation easier.

Under Consideration:

• Joystick/gamepad support for game input
• Native JSON and XML parsing to and from arrays
