It's squirreled away on Disquette 003 on the Poptronics Dialector site: https://dialector.poptronics.fr/dialector_documents/ADisquet...

Haha, thanks. I am amusing myself trying to get claude to figure out what I need to reproduce it, and how to use the emulator at https://dialector.poptronics.fr/ partly to reveal some of the elements outside the program, e.g. KAT OWL FACE images
Also trying to run this on actual Apple IIe. Have the BASIC but stuck on the same problem. Binary files OWL, KAT, FACE, all of that. Using Claude too to help. Have emailed the Poptronics team too but wondering if anyone here has come across them.
Author here. Funny who you can run into on HN. Anyway, worthy project.

These images: https://dialector.poptronics.fr/dialector_documents/ADisquet...

Plus this converter: https://github.com/KrisKennaway/ii-pix

...should get you closer. You'll still be missing a few files though, the full listing of the original disk contents (all the images, etc) is here: https://dialector.poptronics.fr/dialector_documents/ADisquet...

And yeah, as durakot pointed out it's Beagle Basic.

Amazing - thank you for stopping by too. Super helpful. Will come back with anything else that I find too. Fun project.
