+BBC BASIC for SDL 2.0 (BBCSDL) is an entirely free and Open Source
+cross-platform implementation of BBC BASIC for Windows, MacOS,
+Linux (x86 CPU only), Raspberry Pi OS (RPi3 or later), Android,
+iOS or for running in a browser.
+It combines the simplicity of BASIC with the sophistication of a
+structured language, allowing you to write utilities and games,
+use sound and graphics, and perform calculations.
+The Desktop editions (Windows, MacOS, Linux, Raspberry Pi)
+include a BASIC program editor with syntax colouring, live
+indentation, search & replace and many other features.
+Built-in diagnostic aids such as run-time trace, listing of
+variables, single-step execution and a profiler make debugging
+even the most complex programs straightforward.
+
+This package installs to /opt/bbcsdl and is a rebuild of the open
+sources available at https://github.com/rtrussell/BBCSDL
+
+The Box2D321.so library (md5 215bbda5d9a92a5cc99534de4e1235aa)
+is bundled with the original release by R.T.Russell available
+at https://www.bbcbasic.co.uk/bbcsdl/bbclinux.zip
+This SlackBuild includes it as a separate download from the
+package maintainer github account as it is not packaged with
+program sources. You can safely delete it if you are not
+writing 2D graphics program simulating physics.
+
+Many examples at /opt/bbcsdl/examples/
