Instructions

This tool builds a VDU 23 command for the BBC Micro. Click the grid to toggle each grid cell. Then triple-click the Command list to select the command. Then copy it to the clipboard and save as you wish. According to the BBC Micro User Guide: "Each character which you type in at the keyboard has an associated ascii code. When the computer is told to print this character it looks up the code and prints the appropriate character as an 8 x 8 matrix of dots. However, certain code values have been left to be defined by the user. They include values 224 to 255. They can be defined by use of the VDU 23 command." Inspired by @RokCoder's awesome BBC Micro Emulator: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/510612310/ All code by me (@kriblo). Update: Added a simple save code. It's the second item in the Command list. Press L to load from a code.
