Game Design on RISC OS

Hey so I’m mucking around with a game in BASIC at the mo which is fun and works well but I want my friends on their windows PCs etc to be able to try it, is this simply going to be a case of using an emulator or is there a way to run BBC basic programs on windows in a cleaner way…

Alternatively would Python and Pygame be a better option? As this is cross platform… is Python fully supported on RISC OS however (Python 2 and pygame I mean)?

Thanks!

You might want to consider Richard Russell’s BBC BASIC for SDL which runs on several platforms including Windows and macOS. RISC OS programs won’t be 100% compatible, but it may be a suitable starting point.

Richard is active on the StarDot forums if you need more information.

Ok thanks! Yeah I did check that one but think it’s not so happy with OS sprite calls etc! Nevermind lol, probably going to just take the emulator route as not a large image really and at least BASIC is fully supported :).
