I've created a comparison table of the four main multi-platform BASIC programming languages. Information found was only from the relevant web pages (and not forums as some aren't available until you purchase).

Let me know if there are any errors.

What of qb64 and freebasic? Anyway, neat table. Purebasic can use the system gui but also an internal game gui.

Game engines aren't included as they are just engines, plus most of them are unknown, unaffordable and/or not BASIC...

Originally I was only going to include languages that supported more than Windows, Mac and Linux, but decided to include PureBasic because the information is easily found. Whilst Freebasic and other free stuff could be included, I haven't done so as generally they aren't as mainstream.

DarkBasic/DBPro doesn't count as it only compiles for Windows.

BASIC beyond Visual Basic isn't main stream. FreeBASIC is a very capable BASIC language and it is a free and open source alternative to all of the BASIC's listed.
