Editing BASIC 8 (section)

===A solution===
BASIC 8.0, available via [[floppy disk]] or [[read-only memory|ROM]], provided many graphics commands that were competitive with the C128's competitors in the high-end 8-bit microcomputer market. BASIC 8.0 was fully compatible with the various first-party [[random-access memory|RAM]] and video RAM expansion chips and [[ROM cartridge|cartridge]]s, as well as [[computer mouse|mice]] and [[joystick]]s. It also provided basic [[3D computer graphics|3D graphics]] commands.<ref name="RetroC-WB8"/> Along with a 188-page manual, the software package included an example of a [[graphical user interface|GUI]], and a high-res [[bitmap graphics editor|paint program]], '''Basic Paint,''' both developed using BASIC 8.0.
