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…

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…
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…
I decided to take a snoop around the internet about the Apple II. I use Google to read the usenet groups. I went and signed into google and as I moved through the menus to get to groups I noticed…
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…
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…
