BASIC 10Liner Contest

Uncategorized 1 Minute

Kevin, on the Antic podcast, for the Atari 8-bit line of computers, is talking in episode 56 about the BASIC 10Liner contest that he enters with many Atari BASIC programs each year. The contest is open to all computers. Uh, I think. I think that the official site is in German. Here’s a link to the English section of the site:

The programming contest begins on January 30, 2019 (in just a few days). The program, I think, has to be pure BASIC. I don’t even think that you’re allowed calls to machine language routines in a computer’s built-in ROM.

This contest sounds very fun. If we can figure this out, and if the astrocade is eligible for this contest, then is there anyone here that would like to participate in this BASIC programming contest?

I'm a fan of classic video games. Unusual systems, like the APF MP-1000, the Emerson Arcadia 2001 and the Bally Arcade/Astrocade fascinate me the most. I've always been a science fiction and weird fiction fan, but recently I've been introduced to the work of some authors in the weird genre (Machen, in particular) who are leading me to seek-out more unusual writing than the sometimes overly-loved Lovecraft. He was a shining (dark) beacon in his field, but he truly did follow in the footsteps of others, as he himself seemed to understand.
