Example · generated

Form 1, the short one

DO  Print(EscapeString("hello"))  Sync()LOOP

Form 2, with every argument

DO  Print(EscapeString("hello", 1))  Sync()LOOP

EscapeString is called and its answer is printed every frame. The DO … LOOP is not decoration: a classic BASIC program ends the moment it runs out of lines, and Sync() is what draws the frame.
