On my Apple //c, I have written programs using Applesoft, Zbasic, and Kyan Pascal. I don’t recall ever using Integer basic. I have dabbled with assembler enough to know my mind does not work at that level. I’ve tried out…
On my Apple //c, I have written programs using Applesoft, Zbasic, and Kyan Pascal. I don’t recall ever using Integer basic. I have dabbled with assembler enough to know my mind does not work at that level. I’ve tried out…
I went back and looked at the file sizes of both the Applesoft and Zbasic from Applesoft versions of Hamurabi. The Applesoft version was 8 blocks on the diskette. Add to that 32 blocks for PRODOS and 21 blocks for…
I thought I would try to load the Applesoft version of Hamurabi into ZBasic. In the PRODos index to the ZBasic manual there is a section on just this subject. It says to use a procedure like we used to…
Today, I’m going to start with my version of pseudo coding. I usually just right up a rough outline of the program and the start breaking up each part. First we display some sort of program identification, like maybe the…
In my last post about the Applesoft version of Hamurabi, I noted the spacing problem and the tedious fix of retyping each of the lines that had issues. There is a way to edit lines using escape codes, but I always found…
So after doing yesterday’s post, I thought a little more about doing Hamurabi in Applesoft. I decided it would make sense to do as a base line. It took about an hour and a half of one handed hunt and…
I didn’t work on Hamurabi today, so I won’t be writing about that. In fact, I won’t be writing any actual code for it until the books on Pascal come in. I will be starting on some pseudo code. When…
The New Apple II User’s Guide by David Finnigan Roughly, the last third of the book consists of nine appendices, a glossary, and the index. Appendix B contains a summary of commands and functions for DOS, PRODos, Applesoft and Integer…
The New Apple II User’s Guide by David Finnigan. My copy came in from Amazon almost a week ago. I haven’t had time to read it, just skim through it. My first impression is, it’s a huge paperback, 774 pages. …
When I was first interested in Pascal for the Apple II, my major concern was probably money. If I remember correctly you had two choices for Pascal; Apple Pascal and Kyan Pascal. Apple Pascal at the time was considerably more…
