| BBC BASIC The BBC advertised an educational project for computers back in the 1980's, where they specified a home computer which could run the BASIC programming language. ACORN Computer got the contract. (The owners went on to develop the ARM microcomputer chip which is used in the iPhone, and was sold in 2016 for c£15B) One of the developers (Richard Russell) of later versions of BBC BASIC went on to design variations which could run on many other computers, including Windows on the PC. His website is at http://www.bbcbasic.co.uk In the last year he has produced a version which will run on Android phones and the Apple iPhone. For the Android version, it is possible to develop the program on the PC, and later, maybe with a few modifications, transfer it to an Android Phone. The Android version must 4.2.1 or higher. Here is a simple program I wrote to run on the PC Windows environment... Guess a number between 1 and 100. Here's the compiled version which can be downloaded and run on a PC ...... Guess the number (for your PC) ..... a Random number is generated between 1 and 100. Try and guess the number in as few steps as possible ! Guess the number (for your Android Phone) |
