And now the next step.
Drawing 3 concentric quarter-ellipses using an extended Bresenham algorithm. It's just a bit slow in ZX81 BASIC.

I fear it's just the ZXBasic equivalent of the ramblings of a madman. :D

Animals now get tired, and you can redistribute/ditch cargo mid-journey if you wish to save their poor legs.

Dropped ZXbasic studio due to errors I can't figure out. So switched to notepad++ and command line ...it works!!

Some kind of build environment for ZXBASIC?

I've often done things where I have one language spit out another, but never had PHP spit out BASIC before!
Still got to add the fiddly bits like images, but navigation works and I can happily fit 15 posts same as I do on gopher.
Might also still go the sockets route yet.

I didn't realise zxbasic had an IDE. It's a fantastic tool / dev language etc etc.

My one wish for the ZXBASIC compiler is records
DEF MyType
bum AS UBYTE
hole AS STRING
END DEF
DIM a AS MyType
LET a.bum = 69
LET a.hole = "bum"
DEF MyType
bum AS UBYTE
hole AS STRING
END DEF
DIM a AS MyType
LET a.bum = 69
LET a.hole = "bum"

Aha!! I (with a little help) got ZXBasic Studio to compile without an error! So maybe I can use it now and get back into reading my Boriel Basic book.

Basin. I think it's long been superseded by ZXBasic but I like it. It has shortcomings but also a useful and simple to use suite of tools.
@zxdunny.bsky.social is the man to know for sure

I havent played a MUD in years!
I am curious to see if the ZXBASIC spectranet library actually works - it doesnt under emulation but thats nothing to go by

Nah I leave assembly to those that know what they're doing. This game is written using the ZXBASIC compiler.
The crash was simply the memory address I was loading my machine code at

Recreación moderna del intérprete ZX Spectrum BASIC en Rust para navegador
Un desarrollador ha recreado el intérprete BASIC del ZX Spectrum de 1982 utilizando Rust, un lenguaje de programación moderno, y WebAssembly para que funcione directamente en navegadores web. Este proyecto, llamado zxbasic-rust, demuestra que un solo desarrollador con la metodología adecuada puede replicar el comportamiento de software antiguo, incluso cuando el código original está basado en ensamblador antiguo y poco documentado. Tradicionalmente, este tipo de trabajos requería un pequeño equipo de especialistas y meses de trabajo, pero la implementación moderna permite que se pueda lograr en cuestión de horas, gracias a las herramientas actuales y un flujo de trabajo eficiente. El proyecto también incluye configuraciones visuales que simulan efectos de pantallas CRT, como brillo, contraste, curvatura, rasterización y artefactos analógicos, ofreciendo una experiencia más cercana a la original del ZX Spectrum. Esta iniciativa combina la preservación histórica del software con la capacidad de ejecutar código retro en entornos modernos, mostrando cómo la tecnología actual puede revivir y reinterpretar sistemas antiguos de manera práctica y educativa.

I'm having a hard time geting to get some ide for Boriel Basic on the Spectrum. First I tried ZXBasic Studio and hit problems, then tried vscode and the zx basic extension and I can't compile via that and then I tried Klive ide but I can't get that to work either. Maybe I should just give up 😒

Anyone use ZXBasic Studio for Boriel Basic? I'm trying to follow the book and it says to put a breakpoint in and then build & debug to see the code running.. Well it doesn't run for me, I just get this text below and nothing else. Wondering what I'm doing wrong.
