A handy companion for a basic programmer might be a good compiler. There are plenty of compilers in spectrum scene but most of them needs special syntax, limited variable set, or integer math only. When I come upon that kind of compilers, I felt like using another dialect of basic, instead of Sinclair basic.
MCODER III is not one of those compilers. It feels like sinclair's natural extension to basic, to speed up your programs. The gained speed is not great like other compilers, and compiled programs take a lot of space, but you can expect 4 to 10x speed gain depending on your program, and it compiles lots of thing(48k) out of the box.
It's not a tool for professional needs, but it will compile your crap game to a less crap one.
