| 10:47 | <&McMartin> | omfg |
| 10:47 | <&McMartin> | It was in fact "order the lines are typed in" that was crucial to program correctness |
| 10:47 | <&McMartin> | Fortunately the BASIC can be convinced to load lines in unusual orders |
| 10:48 | <&McMartin> | That'll be an article |
| 10:49 | <@TheWatcher> | O.o |
| 10:49 | <@TheWatcher> | wat |
| 10:50 | <&McMartin> | atari.jpg |
| 10:51 | <&McMartin> | But yeah, the "can be convinced" thing also means you often get to write your BASIC programs in Vim or Emacs on a proper machine and then import it as source |
| 10:51 | <&McMartin> | So... nothing says the lines have to be sorted in that file |
| 10:51 | <&McMartin> | It's basically "run contents of file as a script" under the hood |
| 10:52 | <&McMartin> | And yeah, uh, this is bananapants, so, um |
| 10:52 | <&McMartin> | props to MS for making the second best home computer BASIC in that era |
| 10:52 | <&McMartin> | and also having it be quite good. |
| 10:53 | <&McMartin> | (BBC BASIC beats it out, but it's the only one that does until you're well into the 16-bit era) |
| 10:54 | <&McMartin> | But yeah, the punchline of Bumbershoot Software is that machine language is easier than BASIC~ |
| 10:54 | <&McMartin> | and now back to sleep since hopefully I'm now less overheated -_- |
| 11:08 | <~Vorntastic> | Ok. Today because I'm apparently going to need it I will need to figure the translation from petscii to screen codes |
| 11:13 | <&McMartin> | That's in the PRG |
| 11:22 | <~Vorntastic> | Interestingly, it's not directly. I have petscii - symbol and screen code - symbol but not the direct translation which is what I need |
| 11:23 | <&McMartin> | Oh yeah. It's basically blocks of 32 |
| 11:24 | <&McMartin> | And then 128-255 is 0-128 reverse video |
| 11:25 | <~Vorntastic> | Since -- uh -- it uses petscii to refer to symbols whose screen code locations are known - so it'll go reverse Q reverse (or something) to get a particular critter to show up in the game explanation marquee |
| 11:26 | <&McMartin> | 129 is reverse A |
| 11:26 | <&McMartin> | mcm is slep |
| 11:27 | <~Vorntastic> | Indeed. |
| 11:27 | <~Vorntastic> | Ni |
