The motion of two bodies under the influence of gravity - the so-called two-body problem of classical mechanics - is explained in this #BASIC program from #yourcomputer

Last weekend @horniger showed me his #FamiClone consoles and I found out there are cartrdiges with 2 different #BASIC dialects for it. So I bought one from ebay (https://www.ebay.de/itm/356213373397) for a few Euros - and here we are: G-BASIC and F-BASIC ... and a keyboard that bounces like hell!
Extremely decent ASCIIART benchmark result on @tomjennings 's Friendly eZ80 CP/M computer running BASIC-80 5.21 : 11.3 seconds
Another benchmark suggests that it's running BASIC 47× faster than a C64
FYI there is a package called BASIC-mode for GNU Emacs. I think some retrocomputing folks will find it useful

New from me: Monster Chase, Part 2
“Jamie Dimon is unequivocal about the impact of #RemoteWorking on #training new bankers. “It doesn’t work in our business,” the chief executive of JPMorgan Chase told Stanford’s Graduate School of Business this year.
“Younger people [are] left behind.”
He has previously spoken of the importance of “the #apprenticeship model . . . which is almost impossible to replicate in the #Zoom world”.
In many #workplaces, that #ApprenticeshipModel is as simple as sitting near a more experienced #colleague or joining a #client meeting to watch how it is done, while also *learning the ropes* by taking on often more #repetitive and #basic #tasks.
But #OnTheJob learning is now facing the double threat of #HybridWorking, which means #JuniorStaff spend less time #observing and #listening to more senior #colleagues, and #GenerativeAI, which is making #obsolete many of the routine tasks that have long been building blocks of #ProfessionalKnowledge.”

Those of you who like and continue to use #BASIC, what do you like? What do you miss when you're coding in something else? Yes, embedded BASIC dialects count.
Do you think BASIC still has life left in it?
Does anyone here remember playing a Superman game that was a plain text simulation? "Superman" had to count calories evey time he used his powers and could easily run out. There were four simultaneous villains, but once committed you couldn't move between them or you'd automatically lose the game. I can't find this game. #retrocomputing #retrogaming #tipofmyjoystick #basic #askfedi
Is there a good archive of 1970's era BASIC games in plain text? #retrogaming #retrogaming #BASIC

Lynx #BASIC from the #CamputersLynx ... q quite exotic british #HomeComputer from 1983. It not only allows line numbers in real format but also any kind of space separation in command and function names. I love that machine!

A #BASIC programming example from the German #Enterprise128 manual (p. 60):
IS BASIC from the #Enterprise128 is the foremost advanced #BASIC dialects for #8Bit #HomeComputers. But it is very(!) slow. The "Creative Computing Benchmark" took nearly 5 minutes to run (comparable to the #SinclairZXSpectrum and the #TRS80 Model 100) but produced excellent results: "accuracy" is quite good (comparable with #BBCMicro) and "random" is the best of all computers measured in the contest from 1984:
