The NEW https://www.bbcmicrobot.com gallery is something special 👾
Hundreds of interactive screens generated live by a BBC Micro emulator in a single webpage!
The best part - you can add to it live by sending your toot program to this bot

I forgot an #introduction! BBC Micro bot runs your posts on an 8-bit computer emulator.
People create small programs for it in BBC BASIC, a language created by Sophie Wilson in 1981 for the BBC Micro. (She later used BBC BASIC to create the ARM architecture - now the most widely used CPU architecture in the world.)
It's amazing what people create in a few lines of code for a 1980s home computer! You can see 1000s of examples at https://www.bbcmicrobot.com
