I set a weekend coding challenge, and that motivated me to write a thing in BBC Basic for the Beeb. It shows what you might see next Wednesday during the partial eclipse, from Birmingham UK.

In my 'Castle of Riddles Revisited' game at https://jaydax.co.uk/corr whatever you do don't choose the 'wait' option in the guardroom. If you do you'll get the first of these images and a rendition of Florence Forster Jenkins singing Motzart's aria 'Queen of the night'. After a while you'll get the second of the images. If you are really a glutton for aural punishment you can listen to Florence's singing at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OzR9FBeBZN8 #retrogaming #BEEB

Back in 1982 a text only adventure game 'Castle of Riddles' was produced for the #BEEB. It's now expanded, has graphics and sound, and is free to play on any browser (even on a smartphone). Check it out at https://jaydax.co.uk/corr

#bbc6music An unnecessary tour but the workaround is to use a non #UK search engine and le voila #BBCSounds back in it;s rightful place. And aunty #beeb pays people to re program this crap. In answer to the hanging ? . I wouldn't trust a #UK module / search / platform as far as I could spit. #ForeverEUropean 🇪🇺

I feel like the BBC’s human rights section of the BBC news app is oddly neglected. Nothing since 19 January? Seriously? And two of four items Desert Island Discs and Crossing Continents?

I completely forgot about #DoctorWho: #TheWarGamesInColour, but managed not to miss it thanks to the online #Whovian furore. Two hours to go!
NB I #revisit-ed it back in 2016.

A page from the remake of a 1982 text only adventure game. It's greatly expanded and now has graphics and sound. You can play it free on a browser - even on a phone - at https://jaydax.co.uk/corr #RetroGaming #BEEB

The veneer of legitimacy for our preferred SM platform is great, but let's be under no illusion about who the #BBC are and who they are here to represent.
I wonder how much of the international audience (indeed I wonder sometimes how many folk at the #Beeb itself) realises it's been hollowed out and played (through its own love of the status quo) to become a malign influence.
Consume with caution!

I remember it as being a bit larger - probably in my memory it still has the CUB monitor and floppy drive. And a connection to a networked hard disk which has 10mb (!) of shared storage. 10! Mb!

I need to test some SD2BBC's later.. Game suggestions welcome 😎 #Beeb #Acorn

@wasootch it's been a helluva 24 hours for the #Beeb https://metro.co.uk/2023/03/10/bbc-defends-fiona-bruce-over-stanley-johnson-domestic-abuse-remarks-18423411/

The only response left open to us, boycott #MOTD, boycott the #BBC
If the #Beeb had wanted to save itself, it would have by now. Instead it chose to lie to you, it does not deserve our support as it does not support us.
Cancel that Licence Fee, walk away. They're not going to fix themselves and nobody will make them. -
@rattleyourwalls @metin this is wild, because on the #BBCMicro, the main thing I recall about Thrust (which was an absolute fav) was the lack of music! The near-complete silence made you feel so alone and tense in space! Pity we #beeb users with no #SID chip! 😭

Using Twine I converted a 1982 BBC B micro text only adventure game, adding graphics, sound, a lot more locations and puzzles. Play 'Castle of Riddles Revisited' FREE in your browser at https://jaydax.co.uk/corr #Twine #Beeb #Retrocomputing #bbcmicrobot
