Thanks, not seen that one before

I haven't seen Rosetta Code before either, but it looks really useful!

docjim

Thanks again. Yes, that's exactly what I wanted: a Rosetta stone to translate from gibberish to common-or-garden technospeak (rather than from complete gibberish to Englese technospeak). But it's going to take me a minute or two to get my head round ...

If you look on the http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Web_scraping#Python Rosetta Code pages you'll find a very short & neat Python example, using urllib.

... the intended scenario levels and that surfaces of planets, natural satellites (i.e., moons), asteroids, and comets (as the recent wake-up of the Rosetta spacecraft reminds us) can all serve as scenario locations.

There's already a hardware interface for the sensors (magnets), the only issue right now is that the software hasn't been ...

Mainly, developers include libraries within their applications That's not necessarily such a bad idea, because it guarantees that the version of the library used by the application is the one with which it was developed and tested. On the other hand it means that if a bug in a library has subsequen...

To create a 'shared resource' in Windows one would have to make it a DLL. It is quite possible to make BASIC libraries a shared resource for any BASIC program in RISC OS. I wrote a module[1] to support that way back in the mists of time, but it was taken up by only a handful of programmers, who hav...

You cannot count the keyword code, because that is a shared resource To create a 'shared resource' in Windows one would have to make it a DLL. From time to time I've been asked whether it would be possible to compile BBC BASIC code to a DLL, but it would be difficult to meet the requirement of bein...

I have every respect for your technical achievements in Basalt, but it's taking BBC BASIC in a very different direction to that which I have been following, and goes against the philosophy of BBC BASIC as a 'lean and mean' language which I feel so strongly about and which I think was shared by Soph...

RichardRussell

To be brief, Basalt has dozens of function keywords I guess that's one of the main reasons why I'm not enthusiastic about it. One of the great strengths of BBC BASIC is that it isn't bloated like so many BASIC dialects are; only the essential and most commonly used functions are built into the core...

Steve Drain

... Basalt can set up callbacks with the CALL function. The current version can deal with strings of any length. It would be fun to go through the Rosetta tasks to see what could be done, but time is short.

RichardRussell

I have not seen a Rosetta task using interrupts yet - could you suggest one?

These BB4W solutions use timer interrupts:

Any BB4W extensions used in Rosetta code make them non-BBC Basic and it is those examples that should be labelled as something other than BBC Basic! Completely untrue. The 'Wilson' and 'Russell' branches of BBC BASIC are equally deserving ...
