This is so beautiful in so many ways…

Try that code on your C64! :stuck_out_tongue: (or on this online emulator in Flash)

I don’t like to disappoint you, but this “trick” is very old. :slight_smile:

We all did!

By the way, I have a much bigger and better effect of a single line of BASIC in the C=64 with this line:

10 PRINT "DZ-JAY "; : GOTO 10

With that line, I became “famous” at the tender age of 10 because I got to see my name on the computer! Woo-hoo!!!

:laughing:

Hahaha!!

I used to type that in the machines at Radio Shack, and thought I was soooooo cool back then. Yeah, I was a stupid nerdy kid. Hehehe. :nerd_face:

Love it! My first programming language…

Throw in an extra line and you got yourself a retro color scheme:
5 POKE 646,(RND(1)*6)+10
