Apple //c as a Terminal, Part 1

I downloaded a copy of ZLink.  It’s a communications program for the Apple II.  I remember it used to work fairly well. I swapped laptops in my docking station, so I could try using the Apple //c as a terminal

Hamurabi, Pseudo Coding, Part Two

The first thing we need to do is make a small correction to the previous post on pseudo coding this project.  I reversed the order of the land steps and they should be:   Handle land purchase, if any. Handle land

Programming Languages for the Apple //c

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

Hamurabi Pseudo Coding

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

Pascal Project, Part Two

In the first part of the post, I told you about starting this project.  I have Kyan Pascal set up and running.  I picked out my program, Hamurabi.  Then I did my Hamurabi, Hello World program. I got screen captures
