#12wish it could have been called: BBE Basic Editor. Of course its BBC Basic, not BBE Basic, so there's that.

#13From the 'About' section: A simple, modern editor for BBC BASIC inspired by [BBC Micro bot]( https://www.bbcmicrobot.com/ ) Created by [8bitkick]( https://www.github.com/8bitkick ) and [mattgodbolt]( https://twitter.com/mattgodbolt ). The microbot site has quite a few demos which were also published as tweets. Looks awesome!

I was confused for a minute why the British Broadcasting Corporation was developing a BASIC editor
Re: BBC Basic Editor
#15Thanks!
Re: BBC Basic Editor
#16Loved early BBC Micro Bot, then amazing seeing ppl pushing demoscene-level FX on it, but the code's all shrunk & obfuscated, taking away from BASIC spirit: being able to see the sequences & be inspired to learn & create, how BASIC got me in my youth & onwards :)

#17> 10 PRINT CHR$(205.5+RND(1)); : GOTO 10
Re: BBC Basic Editor
#18edit:it was leading spaces before the line numbers that had broken it - got rid of them and it works.
OK so take this code below, strip off the leading spaces (thats important) and paste it into the box.
Its a helicopter game, controls are Z,X,M,K for left, right, up and down. You have to collect the asterixes.
The controls wont work in the right hand pane but if you press the JSBeeb button at the bottom it will port your code to JSBeeb where it does run

#20So, one of the authors here: we just announced this site on https://twitter.com/bbcmicrobot/status/1333496146400985088 after being caught a little off-guard with this HN post! We still have a bunch of things to improve on, so please let us know and file issues ( https://github.com/mattgodbolt/owlet-editor/issues ) and we'll try and improve things! Thanks!
