Some highlights of examples made on SBasic

In this game you have a ship and have to collect as many minerals as possible.
Minerals can be in 3 states:
- Grey - mineral is good to collect if you catch it.
- Yellow - mineral is ok to collect, but beware it can become instable any moment.
- Burning - mineral now is instable - try to avoid them, otherwise your
ship will be destoyed.

Graphic mode example. Nice looking screen saver. Displays current
time with large semi transparent digits over a nice background
picture.

Some examples that run in console mode.
Application that calculates and displays body mass index is based on typed data.
Custom sized matrix determinant calculation is based on recursive algorithm.

Some examples that run in graphic mode. Animated figures, drawing graphics of
functions, etc
