Hmm. Mode 7 is certainly neat but a big draw with BBC BASIC is the ease with which the other modes that do support graphics can be used and, of course, sound. For example, there's a crazy version of Axel F written in BBC BASIC out there somewhere.
(The other really cool thing is the BBC Micro had a built-in assembler so you could embed assembly language directly in your BASIC program.)
- vintagedave 6y agoThis is the 'light' (thus console-only) version of the software. The same website has BBC Basic for Windows, and BBC Basic for Linux, macOS, Raspberry Pi, Android and iOS: * https://www.bbcbasic.co.uk/bbcwin/bbcwin.html https://www.bbcbasic.co.uk/bbcwin/bbcwin.html * https://www.bbcbasic.co.uk/bbcsdl/index.html https://www.bbcbasic.co.uk/bbcsdl/index.html Mods, perhaps it's better to change the submission link to the list of BBC products, https://www.bbcbasic.co.uk/products.html https://www.bbcbasic.co.uk/products.html .

- kybernetikos 6y agoThe version shown on the linked page seems to support an assembler for the processor its running on - either ARM or x86 - rather than an emulated 6502.
