Description
Artisan BASIC is an extension targeted at MSX1 systems with 64Kb of memory and a floppy controller. It extends BASIC functionality in areas of memory access, sprite control, animations, sound player and software bitmap operations.
Instructions (general info)
Artisan BASIC adds 35 new instructions. For details, check the project page at https://github.com/zmajcenic/ARTISAN-BASIC
Note: CALL can be replaced by the character underscore (_). A space is not required after this character. See CALL for more info.
