Cross-platform BBC BASIC (Windows, Linux x86, Mac OS-X, Android, iOS, Raspberry Pi)
Which ones, and what do you need to do to provoke the error? Where does the error occur (you may need to make a copy of the program and add line numbers to find out)?
It must have - it's the program that runs initially when you open the app, and to which it returns when you exit each of the demos. If you run it 'manually' - which really there's little point in doing - you may not see much difference (because it's the program that you were running anyway) but it certainly should run.
I think this is quite well known, but to emphasise: BBCSDL contains no integrated IDE, it's just the interpreter. Its native interface is simply 'immediate mode', as with most other versions of BBC BASIC (e.g. on the BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, MS-DOS etc.). The only reason you see anything different is because it's automatically running a BASIC program (touchide.bbc in the case of the Android edition, bbcsdl.bbc when running on a desktop).
Try running 'touchide.bbc' on a desktop platform, like Windows, to see it in that environment (you can operate it with a mouse).

Hi Richard
digdemo gives the error when it fist runs. I added line numbers but it didn't say what line the error occurred at. just: Number too big in module
