Back to some Blitz #Basic #Amiga #coding tonight, trying to finish off my Skyblocks game. Starting at 8:30pm GMT: https://www.twitch.tv/daedalus2097 #retro #gamedev

Quello che sfoglieremo non è stato il mio primo manuale di BASIC, ma lo sarà di certo stato per molti di coloro che, negli anni '80, erano bambini. Dalla penna di Luca Novelli, sfogliamo assieme "Il Mio Primo Libro di BASIC". #basic #retrocomputing #fumetti https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CONxr8uqCyg

BASIC Programming: How It Became So Popular! #shorts: Many people share that BASIC was their first computer language. It became widespread because amateur hobbyists could use it without needing professional developers. #BASIC #ComputerLanguage #Programming #History #Tech https://www.youtube.com/shorts/RgeIPcu-qhM

#Lazio and Toma #Basic had reached an agreement in principle to extend the contract until 2029 (1,8M/year) + an automatic option for 2030 upon reaching certain conditions, but Lazio have never signed the renewal, which is currently stalled even if Sarri is pushing to close ASAP

Wer in den 1980ern bereits einen #Commodore64 bessesen hat wird sich eventuell an das in #BASIC programmierte und in der Zeitschrift #HappyComputer veröffentlichte #Spiel #Zauberschloss erinnern ... jaja: lang, lang ist's her ...

Nun bin ich heute über ein Remake dieses Spiels gestolpert, welches in #Javascript implementiert wurde und #online gespielt werden kann.

Wer vermag den bösen Zauberer zu besiegen?

#TodayInHistory 1976 - David Bunnell publishes in his "Computer Notes" Altair newsletter an article from #BillGates complaining of #software #piracy

"An Open Letter to Hobbyists" Gates expressed frustration with most computer hobbyists who were using Altair #BASIC software without having paid for it. He asserted that such widespread use of his software in effect discouraged developers from investing time and money in creating high-quality software.

I used to think that 10-liner competitions were just for the arcane and esoteric, and I suppose they are--

but after having immersed myself in BASIC for the last few months, I can see the appeal, and it is definitely possible to go from n00b to expert in BASIC rather quickly.

It's in the name, I guess. If you were looking for a quick way to get started in programming, and have some feeling of having finished something early on, BASIC can do that for you.

I had a brain wave.

I only had time until after work now to write it out here.

CHIP-8 emulators have been written in BASIC.

How about a fugue on the idea of CHIP-8, in BASIC. A little VM for making games?

Tecleado otro programa más en BASIC de Sinclair Programs para el Sinclair ZX Spectrum 48K.

De su ejemplar del mes de julio de 1984, he preservado el juego "Air Raid" (o "London Raid"). Ya añadido al archivo de Spectrum Computing.

Vuela tu avión sobre Londres y protege la catedral de San Pablo de las bombas enemigas. Chocar contra la catedral reducirá tu puntuación, pero perderás una vida si te alcanza el fuego enemigo o chocas con un avión enemigo.
