Commodore 64c
« on: May 15, 2011, 09:20:58 pm »
I've been thinking about getting a Commodore 64c - I've always been interested in old electronics and games.
So what do you think?
It's all BASIC - I'm learning BASIC, and this would be awesome.

Oh looky: A C64c for $55? :o

It would be very cool. ;D

I have a regular C64, and I'm getting a Floppy Drive soon, it's going to be fun!

I've played around a little bit with an emu and it was cool ;D

Useless: This was fun, you never know if it was a syntax error or not:

PRINT "?SYNTAX ERROR"
?SYNTAX ERROR

SO umm, how do you write programs? And how do you run programs?

No idea or desire to know until my floppy drive arrives and I get diskettes.

Ooh just figured out how to type programs!

You have to type numbers in front of the commands, like so:

10 PRINT "ENTER A NUMBER"
20 INPUT A
30 PRINT "TYPE ANOTHER NUMBER"
40 INPUT B
50 C=A+B
60 PRINT C
RUN

Run is crucial, as it runs the program.

Yay if I get a C64c this will be so helpful becuase I'm learning BASIC right now!

Do you have to write the numbers as multiples of 10? what happens when you get to 10 lines?

No, it doesn't have to be anything like that.

They are the equivalent of Lbl.
They let you write more than one line of code. = important

It makes disrupting noises. I have a recording of it that I can attach when I get home.

I assume it's like that one demo noise that comes with Axe Parser, right? Not like TV static but random pitch changes every picosecond?

It's mostly inaudible.
