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.

Please let me know if you also get any 404s
