WANT TO GIVE YOUR CODING chops a public workout? Then prove what you can do with the BBC Micro Bot. Billed as the world's first "8-bit cloud," and launched in February, the BBC Micro Bot is a Twitter account that waits for people to tweet at it. Then the bot takes the tweet, runs it through an emulator of the classic 1980s BBC Microcomputer running BASIC, and posts a video of 3 seconds of the output. It might sound like that couldn't amount to much, but folks have been using it to demonstrate amazing feats of programming, including most notably Eben Upton, creator of the Raspberry Pi.

极客生活：用一条推文写一个程序：你能用 280 个字符编码什么？

想要让你的编程技巧公开训练吗？然后证明您可以使用 BBC Micro Bot 做什么。被称为世界上第一个“8 位云”并于 2 月推出的 BBC Micro Bot 是一个 Twitter 帐户，等待人们在它上面发推文。然后机器人获取推文，通过运行 BASIC 的 1980 年代经典 BBC 微型计算机的模拟器运行它，并发布 3 秒输出的视频。这听起来似乎不算什么，但人们一直在用它来展示惊人的编程壮举，其中最著名的是 Raspberry Pi 的创造者 Eben Upton。
