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.
