This Commodore Plus/4's BASIC Capabilities Are Insane
The Commodore Plus/4 ran BASIC V3.5 — a version of BASIC so much more capable than the C64's that it barely feels like the same language. And almost nobody used it. I'm typing in 8 programs from a written for the Commodore 16 (same machine, same BASIC) to find out just how different it really is. We've got sound effects, a bouncing ball, a breakout-style wall, random multicolour blobs, a reaction tester, and a space shapes generator that somehow teaches you machine code inside a BASIC listing. What's different about BASIC V3.5? 0:00 - Introduction 1:20 - Colour 2:45 - P2 Sounds 7:36 - P4 Ball 9:46 - P5 Ball and wall 10:29 - P7 Blobs 12:34 - P40 Space shapes 13:12 - P47 Worm 14:17 - P48 Colors 15:11 - P60 Zoom 15:59 - P61 Interference 17:29 - Rainbow Breakout 18:35 - Rainbow Breakout 2 SUPPORT THE CHANNEL If you want to support what I'm doing here and get access loads of extra to content, come join the Patreon community: / 8bitbasic GitHub: https://github.com/8-bit-basic/commod... #RetroComputing #CommodorePlus4 #Commodore16 #BASICProgramming #8BitBasic
