Added some QoL features to the conversion (like quick save which oh my goodness helps a lot) and a widescreen mode (that had some interesting ramifications).

Plugging away through the deep dives. Mostly written, just editing and slowly publishing them as life and time allows.

What's your best easy to remember BASIC program you could type in and leave running on a computer in a shop / classroom?

I was thinking the other day about the universal:

10 PRINT "Mr Smith smells of POO"
20 GOTO 10 

But are there other better ones?

Kudos to the best one. Bonus if it works on any 80s home computer that runs BASIC.

Repton anybody?

A pure HTML, CSS, Javascript version of Repton, created direct from a disassembly using Claude and Kimi K3. Might have been done before, I don't know. https://github.com/bielesibub/repton

You can play direct here - https://html-preview.github.io/?url=https://github.com/bielesibub/repton/main/repton.html

I also gave Kimi K3 a shot at resurrecting a version I wrote on an old 386 in the 90's - the source code is lost. it got it kind of up and running - https://html-preview.github.io/?url=https://github.com/bielesibub/repton/main/my_repton/html5/repton.html

Old flying game

I used to have a BBC and had a game but can’t recall the name. Think it might even have been a demo.

Basically you were flying a craft over grid like terrain. At the time it looked incredible. I remember it was primarily green, like flying over countryside.

Sorry to be so vague but does it ring a bell with anyone? Don’t remember any real objective, it may have just been a demo to show graphic potential!
