REM catching errors with TRY/CATCH
Try

REM SmallBASIC is great for experimenting with fractals and other interesting effects
Delay 3000
Randomize
ff = 440.03
For j = 0 to 20
  r = rnd * 1000 % 255
  b = rnd * 1000 % 255
  g = rnd * 1000 % 255
  c = rgb(r,b,g)
  ff += 9.444
  for i=0 to 25000
    f += ff
    x = min(xmax, -x + cos(f*i))
    y = min(ymax, -y + sin(f*i))
    pset x, y color c
    if (i%1000==0) then

REM For computer historians, SmallBASIC can run programs
REM found in early computer books and magazines, for example:
10 LET A=9
20 LET B=7
30 PRINT A*B
40 PRINT A/B

REM SmallBASIC also has support for a few modern concepts such as JSON
aa = array("{\"cat\":{\"name\":\"harry\"},\"pet\":\"true\"}")
If (ismap(aa) == false) Then
  throw "not an map"
End If
Print aa
