ick, I remember programming ascii christmas trees, complete with flashing "fairy light" @ signs on BBC.

They were fun, but the homework from that class, still gives me nightmares....

It is from a BBC computer it is an educational word processor called Folio it was created for primary school children although it could be used in a professional enviroment with addons and wot nots.. It was the first piece of software i got taught to use in school.. I also used to play Grannys Garden and Chucky Egg happy thanks to Snodvan i have a BBC which is getting used all the time cause im a sad geek who loves the BEEB tease

Personally I was never sufficiently agile with the fingers to cope with this sort of game. However, I remember well when my daughter would not come for her dinner one night because she wanted to reach 1,000,000 score on Chuckie Egg. She did it, and more at other times

Yeah, the picture was always really good but it was always a case of a pixel firing pixels at other pixels.
