This is not really a thing yet.

^(Edit: I think it is now.)^

Hoo boy; we have all sorts of formatting options here!

10 print "goto 10";
20 hello world!

spoiler(Personally, I liked to spell it GO TO wherever it’d let me)

I hope this place will become popular and full of useful guides and whatnot

Thanks :)

I haven’t announced it anywhere public yet (= our subreddit); I’m totally new to lemmy.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I'm new too! It's a new age of internet isn't it

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

A bit like a cross between the social media and the insular web forum ages, plus added activism and federation. So… I guess yes. :)

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yea, I think it's a good thing tbh. Reddit used to be a big part of the internet, owned by a single company. Now, not anymore and that's great!

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.

we're used to getting things working, we can shift to this.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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 print statement. Makes for a better endlessly scrolling text experience ;)

Beautiful device. Would love to see a video of it working.

hello world!
hello world!
hello world!
hello world!

with the ; it would be 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!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…
