BBC BASIC Programming Language

Features & Capabilities

BBC BASIC is the programming language originally specified and adopted by the British Broadcasting Corporation for its groundbreaking Computer Literacy Project of the early 1980s. This is an advanced, cross-platform, implementation with many enhancements over early versions. As well as extensions to the language it supports anti-aliased 2D graphics, 3D graphics, shader programming and includes a 2D physics engine. Its multimedia capabilities include stereo music, sound effects and video. It supports networking and the accelerometer. Nevertheless it maintains a high degree of compatibility with the BBC Microcomputer, including SOUND, ENVELOPE and MODE 7.

This would be a five star app were it not for the soft back button. It is a necessary GUI element, but its execution breaks the app, or at least causes me to be constantly working around it.. First, there is no reason it should be so huge. Make it small! Second, it overlays the first lines of text. When coding, we must make space for the button or otherwise we create untouchable code at the beginning. When running programs, I often have no idea what they say on their first line because it is under that button. Make the button small and move it out of the text area. If you need it huge, make the text screen begin under it. Something else that might be nice is an invisible ESC "area".

The BBC Basic implementation is very close to other versions created by this author. Unfortunately the main functions like displaying folders and files and editing etc. are very rudimentary. The virtual keyboard has no extensions for making editing easier. I was not able to create folders and files either. Overall a good start and look forward to future releases.
