wwwBASIC is a JavaScript-based implementation of the classic BASIC programming language designed to run seamlessly in web browsers and Node.js environments. Created by Google, it allows developers and enthusiasts to write and execute BASIC programs directly within HTML pages or via command-line tools. The interpreter compiles BASIC source code into JavaScript at load time, enabling efficient execution within modern web environments without requiring external emulators or plugins. It supports traditional BASIC constructs such as loops, conditionals, and I/O operations, along with 24-bit color graphics functions (PSET, LINE, CIRCLE) and input handling (INKEY$, GETMOUSE). wwwBASIC brings retro programming into the modern web era, making it ideal for educational purposes, historical software preservation, and interactive demonstrations
