As I get more into LowResNx I realize how little resources is actually available. I understand that it uses second generation basic ideas and the provided manual helps to some degree but the syntax used in second generation varies from manual to manual I found.

If anyone can help me determine which exact version of BASIC is used in LowResNx or even recommending something that resembles it the most would be greatly appreciated. Or maybe there’s a more in depth specific LowResNx Manual that I’m missing.

BASIC was never really standarized and every company which published a Basic had their custom dialect. Only the base logic and text commands were usually the same.

LowRes NX is another one. It‘s inspired by QBASIC, AmigaBASIC and AMOS, but has own syntaxes, too.

Here is a tutorial I wrote:
