Welcome ^^ How do you like our new banner lol
It is groovy!
Checking in… Love the Commodore pic. Started coding on a C64 then Amiga (Which I still have). Do it as a job now on a boring Windows PC.
Beautiful device. Would love to see a video of it working.
Languages that used line numbers didn’t use semicolons to mark the end of a statement.
Also, this program would just say “goto 10” and then would popup an error because “hello world!” is not a statement.
But I’m just being silly.
Jumbling up that bit of rote code was the joke! But the semicolon isn’t supposed to end the line; it tells BASIC to suppress the newline after the
printstatement. Makes for a better endlessly scrolling text experience ;)
hello world!
hello world!
hello world!
hello world!
hello world!
hello world!

…with the
;it would behello world!hello world!hello world!hello world!hello world!hello world!hello world!hello world!hello world!hello world!hello world!hello world!hello world!hello world!hello world!hello world!hello world!hello world!…;)
(That makes it still visibly scroll/add text once the screen is full!)

It’s always so disappointing when retrocomputing YouTubers don’t do that…
