=============
The goal is that this list contains a lot of Small Basic programs. We're looking for interactive programs that are easy to use, fun, and have little to no learning curve.
To browse a larger variety of programs that are listed categorically, see Small Basic Program Gallery - Listed By Category. Categories include Games, Graphical, Math, Physics, Productivity Apps, Sciences (Other), Sound, and Text.
You should also come back later, because this list will evolve over time.

Leave a comment with more programs to add. We'll need a name, a link to download it, and the name/profile of the developer. On TechNet Wiki, you'll find a version of this article that lists even more programs . (This blog post is limited to interactive programs that are easy to use, meaning they have little to no learning curve.)
Thanks!
