Thought I'd post here about a similar (but non-competing) Emulator

    Before I'd even run across this emulator (which is very impressive), I had written a TRS80 only emulator for OSX a few years ago. Recently I decided (for the heck of it) to go to the next level, and create a more complete emulator (based on GW-BASIC as this one is), but for the iOS platform. At this time (21-Dec-2016), I have a semi-working version of all the "file" commands (FILES, CHDIR, MKDIR etc), DIM, PRINT and a few others. I believe this emulator is written in Python, my emulator is written in SWIFT. And due to the fact it is on iPhone/iPad, there will obviously be things I will have to leave out (PEEK, POKE and related), and it will have to handle a screen that is capable of changing size (Landscape, Portrait, External Keyboard etc). The iPhone4s/5s will support a 64 character wide screen, while all the other devices will support an 80char screen.. The number of rows will depend on orientation, device, and keyboard.
    And it will be 32bit Integers, instead of 16bit, and Single will probably be just an alias for Double, since the precision of variables inside of SWIFT far exceed what the original GW-BASIC did

    I will have (soon) a webpage for more information at www.rdsisemore.com/rdsbasic
    or if you are interested you can contact me at [-redacted-]
