+This guide will outline how BBC Micro Bot works on Mastodon and provide some tricks to reduce the size of your code (so that it can fit in a toot) with the [Owlet Editor](https://bbcmic.ro). 
 
 ## Prerequisites 
 
 Before reading below check this awesome [interactive BBC BASIC tutorial](https://www.bbcmicrobot.com/learn/index.html) first if you aren’t familiar or want a refresher. The guide below is more about using the bot and how to minify code rather than covering the BBC BASIC language.
 
 ## How to run your code
 
-When you include [#bbcmicrobot](https://mastodon.me.uk/@bbcmicrobot) in a toot the bot will run your toot as code on a BBC Micro emulator. Your code must fit within a single toot, limited it to 500 characters by its home instance.

 ### Default 
 
-Normally the bot runs your code for 30 seconds, and then takes 3 second video clip that it posts to Twitter. If that last 3 seconds is a static image the bot will reply with a PNG image instead.

 ### Emoji commands
 
-You can add an emoji to the end of your toot to send a command to the bot. These are not included in the program sent to the BBC Micro emulator, and should not be in your code in Owlet. Because the [emulator is very fast](https://github.com/scarybeasts/beebjit) a 3 hour emulation only takes a few seconds. Although the emulation is fast the video capture at the end is real-time - the 🎬 is the same as leaving a real BBC Micro running for 3 hours and then afterwards taking a look at the screen for 3 seconds.

 If you copy or modify someone's code you should either reply to the original toot so people can see the thread, or acknowledge the author in your toot. When you toot at the bot your code is public. You might find that other users are inspired to help reduce the size of your code, improve the design or remix it - you should take this as a compliment!

 # Writing code in a toot
 
 The [Owlet Editor](https://bbcmic.ro) is designed specifically for creative coding with BBC Micro Bot. 
 
 ## Reducing code size
 
-One of the fun and challenging aspects of the bot is you need to squeeze your code down in size - code golf! Techniques to do this have evolved over time, many pioneered by [Rheolism](https://www.twitter.com/rheolism). Here we outline some fundamental approaches, this is by no means comprehensive.

 ### Removing line numbers and spaces
 
-You do not need line numbers in your code. The numbers are automatically added in increments of 10 by the bot. As a guide Owlet will show you the line numbers in the gutter of the editor if you omit them from your code. Spaces are usually removable, but are required in some cases where a variable name is directly next to a BASIC keyword.
