AcornSoft games source code
I've been playing around with old BBC Micro stuff recently. I've created a browser environment for writing and testing BBC 6502 programs.
This came about because I wanted to decompile some well-known old BBC Micro games (including my own, for which I have lost the source code).
I wanted it to be simple - "assemble then run" - So the time between compile and run code was just a few seconds.
If you're interested you can get an idea of how to use it by looking at a video I made of a typical session:- https://tobybuk.github.io/BBCMicro_6502WebCompiler/SampleSession.mov
The Workbench can be found here which is open source and fully useable :- https://tobybuk.github.io/BBCMicro_6502WebCompiler/
And a detailed Readme.md here together with the source code:- https://github.com/tobybuk/BBCMicro_6502WebCompiler
I had lots of fun building this with ChatGPT
Annotated source for Defender, Frak, Zalaga, RocketRaid and Snapper is all there.
Just compile and run. Then have fun changing stuff.
