Ultimate 64: U64 BBC BASIC - The demos: showcase, Eric Schraf's graphics, BBC BASIC classics

U64 BBC BASIC is BBC BASIC 3.10 for the Commodore 64 with an Ultimate 64 or C64 Ultimate: the original interpreter, unchanged, with a new BBC-style operating system for the C64 and the Ultimate. Everything on the C64 in this video was captured from the video and audio streams of an Ultimate 64 Elite II, on real hardware. Part 5 of 5: the demos. In this video • The showcase: a timed show in BBC BASIC with its own music, first on 8 SIDs, then a MOD on Ultimate Audio: a palette-cycled tunnel, Bubble Universe, a speed race, 32 sprites, a 3D cube, a plasma, spirographs and a Upic full picture • Eric Schraf's graphical BASIC programs (via ArchBAS on the Acorn Archimedes) and Aurel Wizzard's Christmas tree, drawn live • Classics of BBC BASIC, unchanged or nearly so: the Towers of Hanoi, a fern, Persian patterns, polygons, a sine wave Thanks • Sophie Wilson and Acorn Computers, for BBC BASIC • Ivo van Poorten, for the annotated BBC BASIC source • Eric Schraf and Aurel Wizzard, for their graphical BASIC programs • Richard T. Russell, John A. Coll, Acorn Computers and David Williams, for the classics (zlib licence, via BBC BASIC for SDL) • Greg Tuby and Slice, for the MODs; Freshness, for ModPlayer_16k • Gideon Zweijtzer, for the Ultimate devices Chapters 0:00 Intro 0:06 The showcase 4:11 Schraf and the classics 5:23 Credits Links • Download (free, GPLv3), manual and source: https://github.com/xahmol/u64-bbcbasic • Releases: https://github.com/xahmol/u64-bbcbasi... • Blog: https://www.idreamtin8bits.com/ Requirements An Ultimate 64 / Elite / Elite II with firmware 3.15a or newer, a 16 MB REU and the Command Interface (the TwoMegabyter cartridge image switches them on). On the Commodore 64 Ultimate it is not fully functional yet: it relies on features of the Ultimate 64 firmware 3.15a, which Commodore has not yet released in a C64 Ultimate firmware update.
