It boots from a 1.44mB floppy disk, and enters into a BASIC interpreter, just like your favorite home computers of the 70s/80s! ![Image of Piquant v0.1](media/screenshot.png) -Currently the BASIC only understands simple arithmetic expressions.

The arithmetic parser was yanked out as part of a refactor that is still ongoing so it can't do math right now. The eventual target is for this to be fully MS BASIC-80 compliant. + +Beware, this is a work in progress and is probably in some state of brokenness. The last couple of git log entries should be relied upon to understand the current state. How can I run it? =====
