Message understood. Don't worry, you are not discouraging me at all. Just the opposite. Your "re-orientation" comments are most useful. -- Ian

I didn't know about that (only having any experience of an iOS device for less than a week) but I suspect it's a moot point because I don't think that gesture is exposed by SDL2. I'm pleased with my

It's far too soon to think about that, and anyway Apple don't allow ad-hoc distribution of apps so there's no way I could let you have it. There's some scheme whereby a developer can set up a group

I'm a registered iOS developer, with a reasonable modern MAC, so if you need anything compiling and / or submitting to the app store on your behalf, please let me know. I've checked the info I have

Thanks. My assumption is that I could never get BBC Basic to pass App Store verification because of its status as a general-purpose programming language that can easily crash the process (e.g. by

As I've mentioned, I'm slowly working through all the BBCSDL example programs and libraries to make them 64-bit compatible (to be more precise, I'm making the example programs compatible and creating

Hi Richard, I believe that it would be possible to get BBC Basic to pass the App Store verification. I think that there are two things that need considering: 1. BBC Basic as an application programming

That's interesting, and deserves more careful study. > an Application may not download or install > executable code. Interpreted code may be downloaded That shouldn't a problem, indeed it seems a

Googling TreeScan.bbc indicates that it used to be on the yahooGroup site - now gone I think, I used to be a member, can anyone point me to it, the program, anywhere? My aim is to go through a given

Indeed it was; I've copied it into the Files area of this group, in the Miscellaneous folder. Looking at the code it's very Windows specific; these days (with BBC BASIC available for so many

Thank you very much, if I come up with something useful I'll be back. BBC Basic - brilliant

If you want something done, do it yourself, so I've made a very quick hack of the Treescan program so that it will (or at least should) run on all supported platforms; there's an arbitrary limit of

BBC BASIC runs shockingly slowly on the iPhone 5S, worse even than my slowest and cheapest Android tablet! I doubt that the iPhone's CPU is very slow (although Apple may be throttling it to spare the

An interesting discovery is that it's the graphics that are slow, not the actual computational speed, which is about what you would expect it to be. So I can't blame Clang for the slowness; whether

I believe that xamarin uses some of the tools which come with xcode to package applications so a similar solution could be found for BBC Basic. There is a swift playground application for iOS which

Dear Richard and Group, I remain very interested in bb4w and also for iOS. You, or at least the group, don't hear from me, because I am more overloaded than usual, due to an increasingly inform

I'm still investigating what I can do that doesn't fall foul of Apple's very restrictive conditions. They allow time-limited beta testing, so long as the testers are individually appointed and

The outcome of the poll was a clear majority in favour of bundling Rubik.bbc with the Android edition, despite the resulting increase in size. It is now available for download from the usual

I can (and do) make sure that the example programs I supply with BBC BASIC have an easy means of returning to the 'IDE', but I have no control over programs written - or downloaded - by the user. If

I think I've figured out how to distribute beta-test copies of 'BBC BASIC for iOS', within the constraints imposed by Apple anyway. The main restrictions are that every tester must be individually
