This month we are going back to our roots, with some BBC Micro emulation!

Kenton Price and Reuben Scratton met at school, where they both developed an interest in programming on the school's BBC Micros. Kenton even had several games published, such as StarQuake and Ripton (that's not a typo). Many years later, spurred on by a desire to play Kenton's games again, Reuben developed BeebDroid to emulate the Beeb on Android devices.

Kenton and Reuben will tell us about their programming history and the development of BeebDroid, with demos and code examples. They will also tell the story behind iBeeb, the iPhone version that was rejected by Apple and then reborn as a emBeeb, a JavaScript based emulator to run in a browser.

With one of the authors of RPCemu present, any thoughts about the possibility of an RPCdroid can also be discussed ;-)
