People forget that the intention of some programming demos is to explain some concepts simply. The intended audience of that code wasn't some expert programmer - it was for those who wanted to see how things worked so that they could see how the game sucked and once they learned enough they could improve upon it.
For expert BASIC code see Nibbles.BAS:

- spydum 10y agotrue enough, and I agree, it was just a demo hacked together, but i think the difference you are seeing is both a consequence of nibbles requiring qbasic, and nibbles being developed nearly 10 years later after basic has become quite popular.
- dragonbonheur 10y agoThere are plenty of magazines on Archive.org where one could also find GW-BASIC or BASICA code.
