VirtualBeep

Source: https://virtual.bbcmic.ro/

This week, the Beep officially zeroed. But since 40 is known to be the new 30 (at least that's what my significant other is always telling me for motivational reasons), that's no reason to whine around.

And it seems some of the usual suspects got together, and dedicated a great serenade to the birthday kid.

VirtualBeep is a tribute to this little machine that has made so many friends, especially in the UK but also on the continent. It seems that Dominik Pajak, Matt Godbolt and Paul Malin have joined forces and erected an equally fine digital statue to this little 8-bit wonder.

I'd be very surprised if there wasn't Matt's emulator jsbeep underneath, but that's not confirmed information. πŸ•΅πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

The latest variant promises to be even more fun, though, as it now includes a WebGL-based virtual keyboard and monitor. πŸ₯³

An absolute must for every Beep fan!
