Grant Me StrengthThe DEC Opcodes app just got a nice update. Learn how to write low-level code on mini and mainframe computers; now with PDP-1 and PDP-8 programming tutorials. Especially useful if you have a PiDP-1 or PiDP-8!
Jonathan Lamothe@GrantMeStrength Is that a circular screen on what I assume must have been a text-based interface? How would that have worked?
@me it was not a text-based interface :) well there was a character generator but seems most often used for graphics. It had 1024 by 1024 points. Remember it was really an oscilloscope CRT, hence round. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PDP-1
@GrantMeStrength Polar coordinates, I presume?
@me funnily enough no - Cartesian. lac xcoord / load X into AC
lio ycoord / load Y into IO
dpy / 720007, plot the point
