The circles program at 80×60 (text)

Post by kelli217 »


Since this is in text mode, and therefore considerably lower resolution, it runs much faster in BASIC than the original, which was at 320×200. It's probably even faster than the compiled version.

Eagle eyes among you will catch that the lower-right text cell is blue; that's because I just used PRINT statements and so I left that cell unfilled to prevent screen scrolling.

I probably could have accomplished this using the KERNAL PLOT routine (which I've advocated and demonstrated repeatedly here and on the Facebook group). But now that we have a LOCATE keyword in BASIC, I thought I'd try it.
