The Beeb - a full BBC Microcomputer emulator
The Bad Apple disk image posted by @ScratchMario3000 in the above three posts works surprisingly well in the emulator!the fact he had the patience to do all of this is insane.
- Select “load user-disk from code” in the emulator
- Paste the first section of code in
- Paste the second section of code at the end of the first
- Paste the third section of code at the end of the second
- Press ENTER
- Press and hold the SHIFT key
- Click the BREAK button in the emulator
- Release the SHIFT key

It wasn't that hard. I just went to the repo of the program, got the SDD or something, used rokcoder's converter, and put the savecode here.The Bad Apple disk image posted by @ScratchMario3000 in the above three posts works surprisingly well in the emulator!the fact he had the patience to do all of this is insane.

Found an interesting behaviour in backspaces with double tall text while fiddling with this small program I wrote:
Another program that you can mess with double tall letters in is this:
10 A% = INKEY(0), where backspacing double letters doesn't fully erase them and you can type over the remnants.
20 IF A%=-1:GOTO10:REM no random blank chars
30 IF A%=1:VDU141:GOTO10:REM ctrl+A to double tall
40 IF A%=13:VDU13,10:GOTO10: REM CR (return) to CRLF
50 PRINTCHR$(A%);:GOTO10:REM print other inputs
Another program that you can mess with double tall letters in is this:
VDU141,13,10,141:REM make following line from BASIC double tall, where you type with double tall letters for a line.

Well… Since this technically doesn't run on Scratch, has anyone managed to make DOOM on this? Seriously, DOOM can run on anything.
