1983, high school, programming Ataris. Final projects. My friend and I did Monty Python’s Flying Quadratic Equation Solver. The hardest part was getting the timing right so that the music on the cassette lined up with the action on the screen. Other projects were similar. Except. Two of our friends wrote a scrollable periodic table, navigated via joystick. Press the button, get info on the element. There most of were messing about in BASIC and these two went full assembler. It was a great result. Surprisingly, neither went on in CS.
