I've released version
1.27a of
BBC BASIC for SDL 2.0 - the cross-platform programming language for Windows, Mac OS, Linux, Raspberry Pi OS, Android, iOS and in-browser. The changes in this version are as follows:
- BASIC Interpreter / Run Time Engine
Treat hexdecimal pointers in *LOAD commands etc. as unsigned numbers.
Disable ON ERROR when in AUTO line-entry mode (64-bit and ARM editions only).
- IDEs and Utilities
The compiler utility can now build a 'web application' bundle to deploy online using https://wasm.bbcbasic.co.uk/bbcsdl.html?app=<URL of web bundle>.
Fixed a race-hazard in the debugger which could cause a rare crash during variable listing.
- Libraries
Updated gfxlib and gfxlib_docs.pdf to add PROC_gfxPlotColumnListScale, PROC_gfxPlotRowListScale and FN_gfxLoadTextureSwapRGB.
Updated audiolib to add PROC_mixCancel (truncates a sound effect) and PROC_mixSoundLevel (plays a sound effect at a specified level).
- Example Programs
Added candle.bbc (in examples/graphics), an animation of a burning candle, adapted from a program by David Williams.
Added compiler directives to a few examples so they run as web applications without modification.
This version may be downloaded, for all the supported platforms, from the
usual location. The
GitHub repository has been updated (used to build the MacOS, Raspberry Pi, Android, iOS, 64-bit Linux and in-browser editions, currently).
