# NS-Basic-for-Symbian-OS

NS Basic/Symbian was an implementation of BASIC for Symbian OS devices. Development was done on Windows, creating apps which would execute using the StyleTap runtime.

It's a miracle this even exists.

The experience of resurrecting this software is similar to the odyssey of Mason Mark, [detailed here](https://github.com/masonmark/Dash-Board-for-Newton-OS).

Feel free to look at the code, try to run it and have fun.

Go ahead and open issues - I won't be fixing any of them. 
Seriously, it's 10 years since I've looked at the source.

The desktop side of the app was developed using [Visual BASIC 6](https://visual-basic-6.com/).

The runtime was developed using [MetroWerks CodeWarrior](https://palmdb.net/app/codewarrior and [StyleTap](https://styletap.com/). Much of the code is shared with [NS Basic/Palm](https://github.com/nsbasic-archive/NS-Basic-for-Palm-OS).

NS BASIC for Symbian was released in 2007 and was developed until 2009.

The [website](https://www.nsbasic.com/symbian/) is still around.
