Keyboard error

When I drop the keyboard away, I can’t get it back

Looks interesting but website down and not sure what is up

I am hoping the website is just under maintenance because that seems to be the only way to get documentation

Minus doesn’t work on iPhone

Minus doesn’t work on iPhone so is sort of useless for that.

Awesome and much appreciated

I really dig this project and extremely happy to see the interpreter in an iPad app. Thank you!!!

Good, but needs some interface work.

This app does everything it’s supposed to do. My only complaint is the interface. It gives you a choice of only two font sizes, and on an iphone, the first size is barely visible, and the other one is microscopic. Please add some larger font sizes for people with Iphones or people with less than perfect vision.
I like this app, it’s just eye straining to use.

How not basic it is

Way to advanced i havent made any thing in it

Not able to perform subtraction?

Looks good, except I’ve not been able to get it to produce a “minus” for negative values or subtraction. I’ve tried every key and shift-key. Any suggestions?

Minus key doesn't work!

This looks as though it might be a lot of fun, but at the moment the minus (-) key does nothing—which holds you back a bit when you're trying to program in BASIC. (I'd have written to the developer directly instead of posting a public review, but I can't see an email address.)

Good emulator. Screen bottom gets clipped.

So I tried the X16emu on MacOSX and that one worked great. Saw this emulator and loaded it onto my iPad Pro and I’m seeing some issues:

1) Can’t seem to access the iCloud Drive with the: LOAD”@“ command.

2) Bottom of the screen is obscured by the keyboard bar that pops up when typing with the physical keyboard on IOS/iPad.

Compute like it's 1979!

This is an emulator for the Commander X16 8-bit system currently in development, based on the Commodore 64. Run programs, program in BASIC and 6502 Assembly with the built in machine language monitor.
