I was disappointed not to see BBC BASIC already listed here, especially since a number of prizewinning competition entries at the old SyntaxBomb forum were written in that language.

If it's allowed, here's a link to the web version of one of those winning entries, Forces of Darkness by 'BasicBoy'.

Ah yes BasicBoy, a video helps:

BBC Basic is not listed here directly, but there is a link to a github page where BBCSDL is linked that can be found here.
If you've dug yourself into a hole. Just keep digging. You're bound to come out the other side eventually.

Also, it doesnt seem many (If anyone) here uses it, so, at the moment, it will just have to fall under "Other Languages" in the main forums.

If we do get people through the door which do use it, and make use of a separate forum, I'll happily create one.

What you actually see in effect is a mirror copy of the auld bomb site forums, with one or not not added due to the fact they were either totally empty, or had very little use for a very long time.

I did my computer science CSE in it.

I had to borrow a BBC from someone who lived in our road just to get the practise in onit :o

They were a lovely couple and help me back then. I think he was a Texas Instruments Engineer or something or other.
