🎉 New Version of BASIC Anywhere Machine

EDIT: ARG!  Shortly after releasing this new version of BAM, I discovered a problem with the Custom Characters Tool.  So I updated the released version of BAM below with the fix described in this follow-up post: 🪲 Fixed: Custom Characters Tool

Although the BAM IDE, as per the TiddlyWiki instance it is, always behaved on touch devices, running BAM programs never behaved correctly with touch devices.  (The same applied to programs running from BAM and to programs exported from BAM for running as stand-alone web pages.)

Today's new version of BAM should produce programs that behave well on touchscreen devices.

Well, all works well with my cheapo Android tablet running the Chrome web browser.

Time will tell if all works well on other devices and/or web browsers, and time will tell if anybody reports such problems?

Please note that BAM programs disable multi-touch and double-taps.

⭐ Thank-you:

• "issues37" for letting me know touch-handling was not working with BAM programs
• "dbox" for giving me the javascript "preventDefault" tip
