Product / ethosBASIC

The joy of
making things work.

A BASIC programming environment with a creative heritage. A place to learn, experiment and turn an idea into a working program.

Programming & creative tools

A continuing software story.

ethosBASIC is part of the software-development heritage behind Gala Arch.

The project’s original website dates back more than two decades. Its modern home brings the product, learning resources and downloads together while preserving access to that original material.

The early work predates Gala Arch’s formation in 2015. Today, it sits alongside our enterprise platforms as part of a broader commitment to building software and making technology approachable.

The original Windows editor brings BASIC code, images, sounds and resource banks together in one project.

Engineering heritage

Languages. Tools.
Complete products.

Our foundations include programming languages, compilers, development tools and commercial games. That experience informs how we approach modern systems: understand the constraints, own the detail and finish the product.
