With and without

Its fine. 🙂 I do sometimes shorten it but (like my example above) I wanted to make it readable. 🙂 BBC Basic well the first GCOL number specifies AND/OR/XOR (not sure on order) so more fun can be had.

Only issue is Mode2 = 20K = 32K total = 12K for everything else. Not great. Shadow Ram helps a lot so that 'page' won't move, aka you've still got the same amount of ram regardless of video mode.

Yes, but I was thinking that 12K is enough for a little colour lines show. 🙂

True. 🙂

I'll have a go at the MSX one soon if I can. Unless you wish to do it and post ?

[Jet Set Willie]

Thank you for asking! I´ll have a go later. 🙂

Here´s my interactive MSX lineshow, you can press space to add black lines. You must keep pressing to add them, it wouldn´t be much interactive otherwise. 😉

I tried to bring the program as a text file here, but only half of Notepad´s output had any sense. Open Office fared a little better, it showed 193 pages of garbaged program, 😄mostly just garbage.

At the beginning of the text file, among first readable words Open Office managed to print were

 

 

 

 

        Boot error

        Press any key for retry

😂😂

 

 

[Edited] Open Office must have dug up those words from MSX-DOS´ code. A good achievement actually. 🙂 

 

I´ll attach a disk image here to try. 🙂You´ll find it at the end of this reply.

Load it by typing

RUN"LINESHOW.BAS"

CTRL and STOP to break to Basic. Stop pauses the scrolling when you list the program, also pauses a Basic program during running it. Breaks the scrolling of the LIST, too. You might want to first redefine keyboard to find CTRL and STOP on an emulator. 😉

To list a certain line, eg. 20, type LIST 20

To list certain lines, type eg. LIST 20-100

To list certain lines from or to LIST 20- or LIST -100

 

 

 

 Next a little teaser from the new book Where´s Woody Willy?  😉

An answer page below. 🙂 Not really, but try to find all the Willies from the Where´s Willy page above. 🙂

 Try to find them, the ones you are not totally sure of, does not count. I have currently found 13 Willies .  👏  It´s my own rule, so this does not count, but I had found 14th one, too, it´s not a totally clear Willy, though. But while doing my countings, I noticed that technically it must be, as it has few "impossible" pixels there.

But without machine specifications knowledge, my score is 13 Willies. 🙂 Try to find more! Including that "impossible" pixels Willy.  👍

[Spider]

That's quite good. 🙂

Thank you for the good looking screenshots! 🙂

No, thank you for the code. 🙂 

I did not (yet) have time to look at it, I just ran it and took two pictures. To get a 'better' later view I increased emulation speed to 1000% for a few seconds, then back to normal. 😮 

[Jet Set Willie]

Wouldn´t it be nice, if Basic speed could have been 1000%? 🤪😍😬😖😋🤩😁😛
