What is a BBC file?
A BBC file contains BBC BASIC source code, which is a version of the BASIC programming language originally developed for the BBC Microcomputer in the 1980s. Developers can write and edit BBC files using the BBC BASIC development environment or any plain text editor. Once the code is complete, developers compile the BBC file into a standalone .EXE file with BBC BASIC.
More Information
While the language was initially developed in the 1980s, BBC BASIC has since been adapted for modern platforms, including Windows, and remains in use for educational and hobbyist programming. Programmers who are learning or experimenting with BASIC, as well as retro computing enthusiasts, primarily use BBC files.
How to open a BBC file
You can open BBC files with BBC BASIC for Windows. The program can also compile BBC files. Since the files store plain text, plain text editors, such as Microsoft Notepad or Apple TextEdit can open and edit them, as well.
