Ok, here is my first posting of an HP program.
It is a program that I have vowed to write on every computer I
touch. (although going graphics routines on a dumb terminal in
UNIX would be interesting...)
This a program that I'm sure you all have seen somewhere.
It bounces a line around the screen, mirroring it as it goes.
Various versions of the program have the line erasing itself
after a while, but I'm working on that version. The program
also does a little beep thing when a line hits a wall if you
have your beeps on.
Just download the whole thing to the 48 using ASCII transfer
and press LINES to begin the thing. It is a nice little demo
of the 48's graphics. It also makes neat images to DISS into
one another!
The whole program takes up 1667.5 bytes. Does anyone know of
a way to reduce this size? I should be able to have this program
in less than 1K, but I don't know of anyway to reduce my code.
(Yes I know there are a lot of stupid things in this program, but
go ahead and yell at me, I'm willing to learn.)
Happy programming!
