thrilled by Pong. Eliza is far outshincd by today's Artificial Intelligence programs like Ractcr , and Life well, Life may be the sole exception. There has never really ever been anything else quite like Life. Though it runs faster than the old BASIC programs, this version is not as fast as some pure machine language versions I've seen. The graphics arc less than inspiring, too. The lo-res mode uses asterisks on the character screen, and the hi-res mode just uses half-block character graphics....

Chapter Internal Disk Commands Commodore 1581

Mon, 12 Sep 2011 17:50:41 GMT

Expert programmers can give commands that directly alter the workings of the 1581, much as skilled programmers can alter the workings of BASIC inside the computer with Peeks, Pokes and Sys calls. It is also possible to write machine language programs that load and run entirely within the 1581, either by writing them into disk memory from the computer, or by loading them directly from diskette into the desired disk memory buffer. This is similar to loading and running machine language programs...

Relative File Storage CommodoreDos

Mon, 12 Sep 2011 16:22:53 GMT

Relative file types have the most elaborate internal structure. Relative files are often referred to as random access files. A relative file is actually two files in one 1. A sequential data file with records of a fixed length. 2. A file of track and sector pointers called side sectors. The sequential data file uses fixed length records so that the DOS can calculate where to find any given record. This makes it possible to position to a particular record and read or write it without disturbing...

If I had to sum it all up in one short statement, I'd say that Butcher approaches image processing from the artist's point of view, but PIXmate treats the whole process like a science. All of Butcher's tools are up front and easily accessible. Chopping, merging, and blending colors is a simple process, as is filtering odd pixels out of a digitized image. There is even a limited DRAW mode toolbox for subtle manual retouching of details. I like it for refining video artwork because it is fast,...

The STEP statement is a very useful BASIC command in sound effects programming. The STEP command is used in conjunction with a FOR NEXT loop. Normally, a FOR NEXT loop, such as will increment by one each time through the loop. With the addition of the STEP statement, we can increment the counter by whatever value we choose. For example will loop ten times progressing from 5 to 50 by steps of 5. The increment occurs each time the computer encounters the NEXT. With this in mind, take a look at...

The concept of a subroutine is probably familiar to you from your work with the BASIC programming language. We will postpone a detailed discussion of subroutines until Chapter 9. The exercises at the end of this chapter will make use of subroutines, however, so it is useful to introduce the calling and return instructions at this point. You have already been introduced to the RTS instruction. It is analogous to the RETURN command in BASIC. We have used the RTS instruction at the end of our...
