BBC BASIC / Re: Simple GPIO demo

 Very cool Richard. Have you had any luck with the RPi Sense HAT board? Will your GPIO library allow use of the Sense HAT emulator that comes with Raspbian?

BBC BASIC / Re: BBC BASIC Compiler?

Thanks Richard for the clarification. That is a sweet feature to have in a BASIC. The best ScriptBasic can do is call C extension modules. On Windows, Charles Pegge (OxygenBasic author) wrote an extension module that provides a dynamic FFI definition and full use of the O2.JIT compiler to create virtual DLLs and code in ASM.

I was fortunate that the Brandy author isoated the BBC BASIC graphic primatives in separate SDL 1.2 module. It made making a generic share object usable in most languages that can call a shared object.

BBC BASIC / BBC BASIC Compiler?

Richard,

The Raspberry Pi edition has an ARM assembler.

This was the reason I thought BBC BASIC was a BASIC to ASM compiler.
