Locomotive Basic

[JoniCat]

The font and colours chosen instantly reminded me of Locomotive Basic, the Basic that came with the Amstrad Cpc 464, 664 and 6128. I owned a cpc 464 and a CPC6128 in the 80s, as a teenager, and absolutely loved them, spending hours programming in what was considered, at the time (and arguably!) the best version of BASIC.

We don't have any experience with those computers. The default colors used are based on old color research. It was discovered that blue was the ideal background color while yellow provided the most contrast with blue.

If there are any features in Locomotive Basic you'd like to see implemented in Ozapell Basic, please let us know.
