BBC BASIC was available for the Acorn Atom. The upgrade was a ROM module that contained a 16KROM with BASIC and a 4KMOS ROM to handle the relevant OS calls. It cost a very reasonable £49.95.

Zarch demonstrates what could be achieved with an 8MHz ARM 2 CPU in 1988. Running on an Archimedes using a 256 colour video mode and NO GPU or graphics accelerator, pure CPU brute force. Written entirely in ARM assembler, not BASIC as incorrectly reported in some articles/media.

Tested out some arcade games. Looks pretty realistic in the headset - I love that this is all web based! #threejs #WebXR #MetaQuest3

BASIC.
When the flick of a switch and a simple prompt felt like the world was at your fingertips.
But maybe just a quick game of something first.

So far I have only implemented PLOT code 69 - pixel plotting. Nice.

Launching a personal project: QX82, a tiny Javascript engine for retro games and experiences, inspired a bit by the ZXSpectrum look and feel and QBASIC programming. Free and completely open-source (MIT licensed). More info: btco.github.io/qx82

I do enjoy a spinning cube but hadn't written one for my Z80 computer yet so was inspired by @BreakIntoProg to put one together in BBC BASIC. It implements double buffering via palette trickery: -1\n310 MODE7\n320 END\n330 DEFPROCf(a,b,c,d,e)\n340 IF(v%(b)-v%(a))*(v%(d 1)-v%(a 1))<(v%(d)-v%(a))*(v%(b 1)-v%(a 1))ENDPROC\n350 IF F% GCOL1,C% ELSE GCOL1,C%*4\n360 p%(C%)=e:C%=C% 1\n370 VDU&419;v%(a);v%(a 1);&419;v%(b);v%(b 1);&5519;v%(c);v%(c 1);&419;v%(d);v%(d 1);&5519;v%(a);v%(a 1);\n380 ENDPROC\n"}">bbcmic.ro/#{"v":1,…

Everything it says is the truth, or a rough approximation to that which may be misconstrued as such.

Used ChatGPT4 to generate datasets to fine tune LLaMa2 for BBC BASIC.
With a crafty prompt, GPT took raw BBC Micro Manual pages and parsed them into prompt response format. Initial results were promising… huggingface.co/datasets/8bit…
