Getting all the stuff you need

  1. Download the executable file from the JustBasic website (2.4mb) here
  2. Install JustBasic to your hard drive (it's easier and faster to access if youchoose C:\JustBasic as the install directory rather than hiding the files in Program Files!)
  3. Check that JustBasic has been installed correctly by running it if it hasn't started automatically - you should be presented with a welcome page as below:

That's all there is to it. If you want to get a feel for the Programming Language before trying out one of the Walkthroughs then there are many good tutorials on the internet, although the projects are designed to teach you only the things which will be useful to know.

So What Now?


There is a simple walkthrough here which looks at creating a program which calculates the chances of you calling a toin coss right n times in a row. Oh, and the program will also calculate the odds we need to set to make sure we take in the cash from our betting friends! Get started with Tails Never Fails


Those with a little more experience, who have tampered with programming before or prefer to stray away from gambling, we'll be looking at proving that evil always prevails in Prisoner's Dilema.
