To Use The Programs Here -
Create a folder in Documents and name it something like 'Yabasic Programs'
After clicking 'Download File' a page of code will appear.
Right click on the code and 'Select All' .
Copy and Paste the code into Notepad, (Notepad can be found in Windows Tools/Accessories).
This will then need to be 'Saved As' to your Yabasic folder with the filename having a .yab extender.
e.g. fruitmachine.yab
Note - when saving, change the file type from Text Document (*.txt) to 'All Files'.
Provided you have Yabasic installed on your machine, you will then be able to doubleclick on
the filename in your Yabasic folder to run the program or you could right-click and use 'Send To'
to create a clickable desktop icon.

Getting Started With Writing Your Own Programs
Yabasic is a well-featured yet simple BASIC programming language similar enough to most 'standard' BASICs to be easily mastered by anyone with BASIC programming experience.
For the novice there are many BASIC programming tuition manuals available, either books or online articles.
It should be possible to resolve any differences in syntax between Yabasic and other BASICs by studying the Yabasic manual.

Yabasic does not have a built-in program-writing editor but fortunately Windows provides users with 'Notepad', a simple note-writing app that will be quite adequate for writing and saving your Yabasic programs -
Press the Start/Windows key > scroll down the list of programs/apps and look in
> Windows Tools for > Notepad (or Windows 10 Accessories)
Open Notepad and into it type the following -
|
clear screen print "Hello World" print "This is a sample program" end |
Now go up to the top left of Notepad and click on 'File' and select 'Save As'
In the Save-Window make sure the address line is pointing to the folder where you want to save your programs.
If one does not exist, you may need to create a new folder for your Yabasic programs in Documents.
In the lower part of the Save-Window, in the File Name box, type sampleprogram.yab
Where it says 'Save As Type' use the drop-down to change from Text Documents (*.txt) to All Files
Click Save and the program should now be saved in your Yabasic folder with a colored icon.
From there the program can now be run either by double-clicking on the file icon
or by right-clicking and selecting 'Execute'.
