Basic (The Computer Language)

[Abe Sargent]

Man is this language something or what? I love lines that begin with numbers and stuff. Programming was never so simple! No C++ for me, just give me good ol' basic!

Try Visual Basic. Its even funner.

Yes I got the joke by the way.

10 PRINT "HELLO YOU!"
20 GOTO 10

[MizzouRah]

10 ? "Hello"
20 a$="What is your name?"
30 ? "Your a buttwipe" a$

The good ol Commodore 64 days, sigh.

Ah, Basic. That was the first programming language I learned, way back when programs were saved onto cassette tapes from my Texas Instruments TI-99-4A.

I was 5 at the time.

If that doesn't make me the geekiest person on this board, I don't know what will. :)

[Ben E Lou]

10 FOR X=0 TO 90 STEP .25
20 PRINT TAB(40*(SIN(X))+18) "Sine Curves Are Kewl!!!"
30 NEXT X
40 END

Ahhhhhh....7th grade.

Hey TredWel, did you ever play tunnels of doom on the 99/4A?

"Try Visual Basic. Its even funner."

When I first read that, I thought it said funnier, not funner....my unconscious coming into play I guess. :)

And C64 BASIC pwned.

I had one of those when I was a little kid!

Tunnels of Doom? No, I don't think so. I remember playing Chisolm Trail, Hunt the Wumpus, and Microsurgeon, but I don't remember any other cartridge games that I had.

Ah, memories.

Well..."funnier" would be an appropriate word. ;)

[MizzouRah]

Lets get more off topic :)

Wasteland on the C64 is still probably my #1 favorite game of all time for the role-playing genre. I loved that game and still smile when I see screen shots on the net.

There were so many good games on the C64. Not to mention I ran a Color 64 BBS before I went into the Marines. I miss those times. :(

GOSUB was the bomb

[sabotai]

C64's and BBS's...good times, good times.

I still play old C64 games with an emulator. Back when game designers actually designed games, not just pretty graphics. :)

Hunt the Wumpus,

Ah, memories.

We were at a bar on Friday night after the UConn game, and a extremely drunk friend of mine was hitting on a fat chick. The best thing I did for him all night was to pull him aside and tell him that we didn't go out to 'Hunt the Wumpus'.

5 CLS
10 ? "Hello"
20 Input "What is your name?";a$
30 ? "You're a buttwipe " a$
40 goto 30
