Bem-vindos ao podcast Retrópolis! Apresentado pela Municipalidade de Retrópolis. Esta é a Parte A do Episódio 162. Sobre o episódio Demorou mas finalmente saiu o dossiê BASIC em Retrópolis. Se o podcast acabar amanhã, de não falar sobre BASIC não poderemos ser acusados. Sobre esta parte Começamos com um longo passeio pelas origens do BASIC,
It's alive!
Minimal playing so far, but a simple smoke test is encouraging... I can run #CPM and see the contents of some virtual drives - so the microSD card is clearly working. The buttons appear to work as things happen when I press them, including the LED illuminating. Also, the o/p port at addr 0 works when doing OUTs from #MBASIC and using a multimeter.
Lots still to learn with this deceptively complex system, but I am having a blast so far! 🚀
And we have reached colour mandlebot with the display...
Not sure they are the "right" colours, and I've spotted a bug in the background when scrolling, but it's pretty :)
This is a big reason why most #CBASIC programs were also lost to time where #MBASIC ones are ubiquitous. If you have a #CBASIC binary, you have to match the hardware and can't patch it if it's broke or discover how it works without documentation unless you're willing to reverse engineer it.
The same thing will be true of our current "open source" vs proprietary/SaaS stuff in a decade or two. Do you know how many obscure old databases I have that no one has heard of?
