This is beautifully done. I'll see if I can coax my kids into trying it. However, this gives a lot of credit to Commodore for something that was completely standard at the time on all 8-bit computers (and then some). The real credit belongs to Dartmouth BASIC [1]. Especially when considering the original context (very very limited machines), the genius of the BASIC model (not so much the language) is something to appreciate. Interestingly, John G. Kemeny, one of the two behind it, used to work for Richard Feynman and is one of the "martians" [2] [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dartmouth_BASIC https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dartmouth_BASIC [2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Martians_(scientists) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Martians_(scientists)
