Roadmap

Done: Gauge interest / select features

See who's on board and what the community want's from this project. If you're interested in working on this please drop me an email on steven@nemiah.uk. Anyone with experience with emscripten would be a huge bonus!

Done: Build BASIC only version without compilers

Build a version that just allows people to code in BASIC but includes examples and demos and allows people to share their own code with a single click.

Now: add the ability to load .prg

Then: add assemblers/compilers and support for ASM, C etc

Then: add multiple tabs/files and code editor features

Way down the road: add sprite editors and other utils
