Hi Patrick
Yes I did have an BBC Micro way back then. I used to wright a few short programs.
Back then you could get magazines dedicated to the BBC Machines. Acorn User and one or two others. They has games and utilities in them that you could typ in.
All good fun back then.
I was please to fine, all these years later, BBC Basic for Windows and now Android.
Regards Roy

Re: My simple GUI library/functions
I still have a BBC Micro (a BBC Master actually, originally a Master 512 but with the co-processor removed) plus a Microvitec Cub monitor and a 5.25" floppy drive, all in working condition. It's occasionally useful for checking compatibility, and more than once has shown that people's memories of exactly what BBC BASIC did 34 years ago are fallible!

Richard.

Hi
I followed a TV series around 1984 about programming the BBC Micro and sent for the books.
I've just found them
The books where first published to accompany the Yorkshire Television series, Me & My Micro.
The Acorn Electron was a cut down BBC Micro

Re: My simple GUI library/functions
Thanks, Patrick - that looks like a lot of work in that library, and some nice examples of its use!
The programs looks very smart, so I can see it being a useful option for people.
The problem with using other people's code is always knowing what is available and how to do it: would you consider providing some brief documentation (a list of functions with their required parameters, and maybe an outline of what they do if it's not obvious)?
Best wishes,
D

Excellent work Patrick
It's come along quit a bit since I last looked at it.
I would go along with DDRM about including a bit of documentation.
