    Honestly I have never heard of basic.
    But I know that if powder toy is not basic compatible then chances are. No. You may not.
    But then again I am the last person to be asking.
    (Yes I answered you didnt ask me)
    So I hope you get your answer!
    Good luck!

    You would need to create another file and make the main program call on it. Pretty much, it is possible (kind of), but extremely impractical.

    Don't really listen to the others.
    No it is not possible, C is really different from BASIC, they are not compatibles. Your best bet is to learn Lua ( Really easy ) and mod elements that way. You could also try to learn C, but that's a big adventure full of dangers.

    So, If I were to do BASIC, I would have to start from scratch.
    If I were to learn and do C, I would fall into a lot of problems.
    Rather depressing...
    What about C++? Is it any different?

    Yes, you would have to make it from scratch, which is a really bad idea in my opinion because BASIC wasn't made to make games or any kind of performant softwares, but mainly to learn the basics of programming.
    C++ is alot like C in a way, but at the same time very different...

    basic is like 1980's XD my mum used it when she was in year 7, 30 or so years ago.

    learn C or lua if you learn C it would be a good bet to learn C++ as well (TPT is moving to C++)
