Software / Brandy Bbc Basic Interpreter
« on: December 21, 2004, 09:16:26 am »
For those of you in the UK who remember BBC Basic, I found that brandy, which is a clone of BBC Basic written to run on other systems such as linux, works on the Zaurus. You can get the source code here: http://users.argonet.co.uk/users/dave_daniels/
I used the zgcc compiler and had to find a copy of libc_nonshared.a in order to get it working (thanks to mavlosky for that piece of information)
One cool feature is that it can also be used in scripts as well and a very nice structured Basic it is too. Of course it is missing the graphics and built in assembler features in the Linux/Unix version due to the author maximising it's portability.
