Structured Tutorial
« Thread started on: Feb 20th, 2018, 10:07pm »
As a programmer (for fun) on the BBC MIcro in my youth I am very interested in BBCB4W but being about 20 years since I have last programmed I am at a loss where to start.
I keep and eye on this project but don't have the motivation to move forward. Is there a good tutorial (like Roland Waddilove from the electron user days who piece by piece made a game and made it simple and understandable to follow. Is anything like this available without sifting through loads of threads.
I was looking in my local mag store and see magazines dedicated to certain projects and languages which make me think of trying them out.
This software has so much potential. A magazine deal would greatly help sales too.

When you open BBC Basic for Windows app look at the top of the editor. To the right is the Help option.
Select Help and a drop down menu will appear.
Select - Tutorial
That is the best tutorial to help refresh your memory.
Also if you are interested in reinventing the wheel on cross platform, look on this forum under TOOLS
You will find RETROLIB 10 with a reference. Its a one drive link to some files. It has some helpful tools within it to help you become productive fast.
Mind you, RETROLIB 10 has COMLIBA which is the voice library, and that makes it a cool demo also, but COMLIBA would be BBC Basic for Windows specific..
Good luck
