pml.
I was like 5 years old, back in 1987, when I wrote my first BASIC program on my ATARI 65XE.
It went something like...
10 PR. "Hello"
20 GOTO 10
Those were the days. I coded on that, mainly simple programs for calculations, all the way until I was 10. I gave up altogether then though. No-one I knew did coding, so I trned more and more to my NES over those years. lol
GOSUB, FOR, IF, THEN, SOUND, PRINT, INPUT. Those were the days.
I just tried writing a simple program from my memory of BASIC on the ATARI, and failed miserably. lol. If anybody can put this straight for me, I'll be most impressed. looks like I've forgotten it.
10 Print "what is your age? Answer in numeric form"
20 Input Answer$
30 If Answer$ < 1 then GOSUB 10
40 If Answer$ > 110 then GOSUB 10
50 If Answer$ => 1 OR Answer =< 110 then print "You are " Answer$ "years old."
Hey, it's been a long time!!!!
