Text-only, silly, sort-of-a-snake-game, implemented in #volksforth on Atari 800 emulator... works!
I am impressed how #forth enforces by its design testing every small piece of code and how refactoring is tempting (must get rid of all the variables.. hail the Stack Almighty).
This is not far from implementing a full-fledged Snake, adding graphics and sound... I like it. Writing the code was very pleasant.

@cstrotm Who could help me to use/create LOCATE (x y -- c) in #volksforth #forth for #atari8bit ?... I don't know the 6502 assembly so can't translate this word from FIG-Forth screens (or other implementations where it is available) to VF... As I understand, an alternative could be to use XIO command (Atari Basic like) but I don't find it as well (and if it is there, it's again assembly of Get, CIO... not clear how to use). I would be grateful for a little push or kick in the right direction!
#introduction -- I am Bartosz, living in Warsaw, PL. I am disappointed with the ways the today's technologies are expanding and their commercial side killing the curiousness and innovation. Programming can be a great character-building tool, can be entertaining and educational. Perhaps I have found an interesting direction. #forth #volksforth #uxn #rebol #ada #basic #fastbasic #atari8bit #assembler #opensource #linux #console #textmode #raspberrypi #dietpi #linoleum #c #6502 #8bit
