Panoramic it's a simple basic-like language with many proprietary functions ans statements. Panoramic has all the needed features to handle system objects, sounds, musics, pictures, movies, 2D and 3D drawings, 3D worlds (with 3D objects, 3D camera, 3D light), text files and EXCEL data. Although it does no have a GUI editor it supports forms and controls. Panoramic comes with a quite simple editor with basic highlighting features. The Help is much more a reference of the commands and statements supported by Panoramic, rather that a user guide as it lacks examples that are really important to better understand a programming language. Panoramic may build stand alone EXEs but the resulting file is quite large as it has an overhead of 1.3Mb. The language is kept up to date by its author and is constantly improved.
I like this software because despite its limitations, I think it has a big potential and his author is willing to improve it in the future. It is the only basic so easy to use.

in 6 elementay lines, you display a living box in 3D and doing an half round !
Which other basic is able to do that in less than 6 lines of source ?
It is what I called "easy to use"
Hoping it can generate enough exes for a better result if the file is too large, because it is a projected to be above the language to be updated for its author.

The freeware version because of the strong limitation is less than a toy
You say ONLY - give me a break.How you could say that?

Yes, is really impressive that with very few lines could produce the same as the other tools need a lot of things to do the same...
