Gorillas in BBCSDL (and in-browser)

[Deleted User 9295]

I have converted David Williams's nice Gorillas game from 2012 (which was itself based on a famous QBasic program) to run in BBC BASIC for SDL 2.0. This involved replacing the Windows-specific GFXLIB2 functions with near equivalents from the SDL2 API.

I hope to include it with the next release of BBCSDL but meanwhile you can run it yourself, in a suitable browser, at this URL. Most desktop browsers (with the exception of IE and Safari) are compatible, as is Chrome for Android if you enable an 'experimental' feature: chrome://flags/#enable-webassembly-threads.

David has posted a video of himself playing the game in Chrome, on a desktop PC, at the RISC OS forum.
