I bought the most Philadelphia thing ever. #Philly

Many long years ago I wrote a program in GFA BASIC that randomly grabbed the sprites from the Rogue sprite sheet and placed them on the screen. I wanted to add the music from Michael Jackson's Thriller, but I'm not a musician and couldn't manage to do that. Maybe someday I'll figure that out.

The sprite sheet for the #AtariST version of Rogue is a thing of beauty.

Ported my Atari ST GFA Basic program from yesterday to Chipmunk BASIC on a #Macintosh. Which one do you prefer?

This world has me really freaked out lately and I am struggling to make sense of anything. I'm trying to distract myself by making silly programs in BASIC and for a brief time that helps.

I programmed this for me, but hopefully you like it too. #Atari #AtariST

Be safe everyone.

I'm looking to pick up a HP Draftmaster II, RX, MX, RX+, or MX+ pen plotter. Do you have one or know someone that does and wants to part with it? I'm in the US Mid-Atlantic region.

Thanks for a boost!

Ported my earlier Atari 8bit BASIC program to #AtariST GFA Basic for you know, reasons. Frankly I like the 8bit version better even if the ST's animation is smoother.

It's another rainy Saturday here in Pennsylvania so rather than doom scroll or watch TV I programmed whatever this is in #Atari BASIC instead.
