Starship Traffic reports!

A silly project that displays a running scroll of starship departures and arrivals.

Hit by sudden inspiration yesterday, I created an entry for #NaNoGenMo, a silly challenge to write a program that generates a 50,000 word book. "Broken Computer Games" mashes up code from David Ahl's best-selling 1978 book Basic Computer Games. That was the first computer book to sell one million copies, and taught a generation of budding programers how to program in the #BASIC language.

For this project, my little python script randomly selects two of the Basic computer games and mashes them up by choosing a few lines of code from each program. I generated hundreds of these, then ran the programs in #pybasic. I chose the programs that worked (at least nominally) and with the most interesting output to create this book.
