Instructions

The is the user's manual for my "BASIC" project: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/107723084/ It acts like a simple web browser, just click on a link to load that page. In the header, only the back, forward, and home buttons work.

Description

This is partly to help anyone who wants to do anything with BASIC, and partly to see how a web browser would work if coded in Scratch. But it is sort of cheating, not really rendering pages from HTML text files in a file server. It was actually more work to do it this way, but it looks way better. (The more "realistic" version, which used a virtual file server and a pen text renderer, did not look good at all. Maybe someday I'll fix that up, but for now... no.) Thanks to @Annulus and his very cool "Basics of Inuktitut" project for the idea of scrolling a costume full of text. https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/319918339/ Jun 2025, found & fixed a few typos.
