I won't cross-post it, because the message is quite long (especially once the URLs are expanded), but here's a link ( https://stardot.org.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?f=63&t=21476 ) to the StarDot forum where I've listed direct links to the various demos for the *in-browser edition* of BBC BASIC for SDL 2.0. They are convenient if you can't be bothered to navigate the menus, and can be bookmarked if you regularly want to run the same program. Let me know if any of the links don't work, I've not checked them all.
