❗ NOTE ❗

This is a former state of basil's develop branch. It is the last state that still uses the b. notation, before we switched to basil v2.0's b-less notation. While this is not an official release, it is the most feature rich state of pre 2.0 basil, so feel free to download this branch's basil.js file to run those good ol' basil scripts.

And btw. … if you made it that far already and feel adventurous, you can head over to basil's current develop branch and give the all new basil.js a test drive, before it is even officialy released! It works without b., comes with lots of new features and got rid of many nasty bugs on the way. Enjoy!

Please note: Big general parts e.g. random() of the basil.js source code are copy & paste of the fantasic processing.js by the Processing.js team. We would have had a hard time to figure all of that out on our own!
