BBC BASIC programming language
BBC BASIC was developed in
1981 as a native
programming language for the
6502-based
Acorn BBC Microcomputer. It was a version of
BASIC adapted for a computer literacy project of the
BBC. It extended traditional BASIC with procedures and functions,
REPEAT...UNTIL loops, and
IF...THEN...ELSE structures. BBC BASIC also included powerful statements for controlling the BBC Micro's four-channel sound output and its graphics display. A
Z80-version of BBC BASIC was later used on the
Cambridge Z88 portable.
