Finally got around to imaging some very old SCSI hard drives from my #apple2 gs which contains some of my very early programming work. Figured I'd upload it to #github for posterity. This #videogame is called Swamp Land written in #applesoft #BASIC and was inspired by #BeagleBros text character animation based games like TextTrain. I wrote it over a weekend back around 1980 and was the first thing I was really proud of.

Is #OpenAI any better at #AppleSoft #BASIC? "A program in AppleSoft BASIC to draw a maze" gave me code with no error!. But also not a very good maze
10 PRINT CHR$(147)
20 REM Draw the maze walls
30 FOR X=1 TO 40
40 FOR Y=1 TO 25
50 IF X=1 OR X=40 OR Y=1 OR Y=25 THEN PRINT CHR$(35);: GOTO 70
60 IF X MOD 2=0 AND Y MOD 2=0 THEN PRINT CHR$(35);: GOTO 70
70 NEXT Y
80 PRINT
90 NEXT X
100 PRINT CHR$(147)
110 END
