Change Details

Recently I noted that BBC BASIC for SDL, gained a WASM applet version. BBC BASIC for SDL is on Github at https://github.com/rtrussell/BBCSDL snd the respoitory contains the modified makefile for WASM. During the 1980's and 1990's A lot of educational software was written in BBC BASIC in the UK, and it seemed reasonable that there may be some people that grew up with it, who were now interested in developing content in support of Wikimedia projects, that would want to make use of an in page applet for semi-interactive demonstrations. ( potentially reusing existing open source BBC BASIC programs.). The availability of a powerful means to generate such semi interactive would also be useful, especially if it can use an available 'open' solution (as opposed to a deprecated propitiatery technology like Flash which is compatible with Wikimedia style licensing.) I am therefore asking if it would be possible to implement support for placing WASM applets in Mediawiki pages, with the longer-term aim of seeking interested individuals with a view to a pilot project in using the BBC BASIC for SDL WASM applet to provide semi-interactive displays, to support educational content on Wikimedia and other projects.
