Super Star Trek 1973 BASIC game is currently being adapted for #AtariST computers #atari #retrogames #BASIC
Another super interesting #BASIC -like programming environment.
This one looks interesting. Pity it's SourceForge based, I get skeeved out downloading anything from there, ESPECIALLY for Windows given their awful track record.
Also, the booklet that started it for me:

The #MastoPrompt for Wednesday 30 April 2025 is:
The poem or story can include the prompt word or be about the prompt word.
@ me, if you like, or just include the #MastoPrompt tag (to allow people to follow or filter their feeds), or keep your work to yourself - all the options are good as long as you're writing.
If you're including an image please do include alt-text if you’re able to.

So in 1979, young Digital Mark is shown a computer, a TRS-80 Model I, by 4th-grade teacher. Other kids play Snake, I hit break and type LIST, seeing BASIC code, because I've been reading the instruction card. "I can read and learn this!" Nothing else now matters to Mark.
That summer, I take an

@dosnostalgic I hope Bill Gates has rescinded his open letter to hobbyists so that he doesn't come after me for having the source code for Microsoft Altair Basic https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/An_Open_Letter_to_Hobbyists

This VM is running with a NATted NIC, and legacy DOS TCP/IP LANMAN drivers do not display the DHCP info - So I can't see what IP address the VM is getting, and Trumpet Winsock needs that information. Handily, there is a DHCP.PRM binary file that gets created with the info in it, but there's no actual user tool as part of LANMAN to read it. So... Using only what I have on this VM, I write my own parser!

Nice, Hotpaw BASIC updated on iPhone & iPad. It's the same as Chipmunk BASIC for Mac, sorta for Linux & PC (it lacks a lot of graphics & system integrations on those).
