# Gambas Almost Means BASIC

WELCOME TO GAMBAS!

GAMBAS is a free implementation of a graphical development environment based on a BASIC interpreter and a full development platform. It is very inspired by Visual Basic and Java.

Go to http://gambas.sourceforge.net to get more information: how to compile and install it, where to find binary packages, how to report a bug...

The following pieces of code were borrowed and adapted:

- The natural string comparison algorithme was adapted from the algorithm made by Martin Pol. See http://sourcefrog.net/projects/natsort/ for more details.

- The hash table implementation was adapted from the glib one.

- The HTML entities parsing in `gb.gtk` comes from KHTML sources.

- The `gb.image.effect` sources are adapted from KDE 3 image effect routines.

- The `gb.clipper` library embeds the Clipper library. See http://www.angusj.com/delphi/clipper.php for mode details.

- The function that computes the easter day of a specific year uses an algorithm made by Aloysius Lilius And Christophorus Clavius.

- The blurring algoritm is based on the `StackBlur` algorithm made by Mario Klingemann. See http://incubator.quasimondo.com/processing/fast_blur_deluxe.php for more details.

- The javascript automatic completion is done with `autoComplete` from Simon Steinberger / Pixabay, and is published under the MIT license. See https://github.com/Pixabay/JavaScript-autoComplete for more details.

If I forget some borrowed code in the list above, just tell me.

Enjoy Gambas!
