hcolor = “white”

for i = 0 to 639 step 5 {

    hplot i, 0 to 639 - i, 399

}

GScript BASIC adds new commands not avaible in Applesoft BASIC for drawing shapes, play sound and perform animation.


Compare Applesoft BASIC code (with Apple II Hires) with GScript BASIC (with 640x400 Super Hires) to see the similarities.
