I've listed a simple program to draw a '3D' piechart at the new forum here. Please forgive the link, but the post was in part a test of embedding images and code listings. A particularly nice feature

Whilst the integral assembler is an important (and unique) feature of BBC BASIC, it has to be admitted that its usefulness in a cross-platform context is limited. Not only might you have to write (and

I'm not at all sure that this should work - I doubt that it was intentional - but it does: PROC1 SWAP PROC1,PROC2 PROC1 END DEF PROC1 PRINT "one" ENDPROC DEF PROC2 PRINT "two" ENDPROC Richard.

With the release of the *iOS* edition of BBC BASIC I think I can reasonably claim 'job done' as far as my own contributions are concerned. All the popular general-purpose computing platforms, both des

As you know (at least, you do if you're a BBC BASIC enthusiast!) the static integer variables L%, O% and P% are used by the assembler. Specifically, L% is the 'code limit' and allows the assembler to

Hi this is a fine product. I have written my first program in almost 20+ years Using BBC Basic. I love it. One problem. I wrote a little prog and used DATA statements to acces the 100 odd strings I ne

I'm in the process of converting a program originally written (by somebody else) for BBC BASIC for Windows (BB4W) to be suitable for BBC BASIC for SDL 2.0 (BBCSDL). The program uses 2D graphics to dis

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 reg

The last-but-one edition of Hello World magazine contains a short article by a teacher explaining why he still teaches BBC BASIC (page 71). Admittedly he is referring to using a BBC Micro emulator, an

A new poll has been created: I know it's rather pathetic to create a poll for such a trivial question, but what the heck. I currently bundle Rubik.bbc with the desktop editions of BBCSDL but not with

I make no apologies for raising this subject again, as it seems increasingly likely that it will have to be addressed somehow. Apple's iOS is already 64-bits only, and they have announced that the nex

I am developing a software tool which will automatically convert a BBC BASIC program to an Android app. My objective is to make it as straightforward to create an APK file for Android as it is to crea

The availability of a sort-of-working 64-bit version of BBCSDL (albeit with several unresolved issues) makes it in principle - and I emphasise in principle - possible to build an iOS edition, because

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 d

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

Richard I have decided that your Android dlgdemo example program will act as a helpful starting point for some simple apps that I want to write. I wonder if you have incorporated the keypad into dlgde

Someone that sells Mac software told me that the limit on 32 bit Mac software is at the store, the OS will be able to run 32 bit software just fine except one will have to install it manually. Is this

Richard, Apart from extra addressable memory space, what other advantages would a 64bit version offer? For example, would it be possible to handle the full range of modern (and future) screen sizes vi

Does anyone know of any reasonable ones? I was using http://teastop.co.uk/teletext/wxted/index.html for a while but it seemed to be very simplistic. Given that MODE 7 was used exetensively for BBS on

Richard I (think I) am getting closer to installing and running .bbc programs on my phone. Using Windows File Explorer on my PC, with the phone connected via a USB port, I can now see the folder struc
