Completed my 55th trip around the sun today. Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Sometimes one needs to remember that Zombo.com still exists. It remains the most welcoming site on the internet. You can do anything there.

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!

@Philsan @tsturm It’s so wild to see the info box with dates spanning nearly 40 years.
@tsturm you're absolutely right!
@Philsan Is this suitable for running on real STe hardware?
@48kRAM yes, you can load the .PRG or swap the real ROMs with TOS.
