It would appear that that are three:  bwbasic, sdlbasic and yabasic

sdlbasic says its for game development using the SDL library. The SDL
library manages video, audio, input devices, CD-ROM, threads, shared
object loading, networking and timers.

bwbasic looks like a more complete ANSI Standard BASIC interpreter than
yabasic and could be the only one to have a built-in editor.

All are supported on other operating systems as well as Linux.

FYI I used the command line:

sudo apt search "basic interpreter" | less

to find these Raspbian packages. Use "sudo apt install packagename" to
install one or more of them. I have no idea which is the best: I haven't
written BASIC since around 1985.
