The easiest way to use Locomotive BASIC today is [https://benchmarko.github.io/CPCBasic/cpcbasic.html CPCBasic], a very fast implementation in JavaScript which also allows easy pasting of code from Rosetta Code. Note that programs will run much faster in CPCBasic than on a real CPC. To slow down a program, add an extra delay loop to the main loop, e.g. <code>for delay=1 to 5:frame:next</code>which will pause for five frames or 0.1 seconds.

 

 

Locomotive BASIC can also be used via native CPC emulators such as [http://www.winape.net/ WinAPE] (Windows) or [http://sourceforge.net/projects/javacpc/ JavaCPC] (Windows/macOS/Linux). All these CPC emulators are also perfectly legal because Amstrad has given their permission for distributing CPC ROM images with emulators.
