Is anyone going to mentioned that that's not at all what Turbo Pascal looked like when it was first released? Not in 1983. The UI was significantly simpler.

I remember it looking like this: https://imgur.com/EuOVL8c https://imgur.com/EuOVL8c
- stevekemp 3y agoThat's what I remember too. I briefly documented how to run Turbo Pascal 3.00A on a CP/M system a while back: https://github.com/skx/z80-playground-cpm-fat/blob/main/TURBO.md https://github.com/skx/z80-playground-cpm-fat/blob/main/TURB... I'm doing that on a single-board Z80-based system, and it has to be said that writing pascal is a pleasure on such a machine. 64k of memory, and yet code compiles to real executables "instantly".
- linker3000 3y agoMay I interest you in a game of Snake for that. https://github.com/linker3000/Z80-Board/blob/master/snake.pas https://github.com/linker3000/Z80-Board/blob/master/snake.pa...
- stevekemp 3y agoI have a similar copy of a snake game already, and a tetris clone, but seeing more code is always fun - thanks for sharing :)

- nmfisher 3y agoI’m one year younger than TP, and the blue screen in TFA is the one I remember when I first used it (1990 or so I guess), so that must have been a later version.
- Narishma 3y agoIt looked like that until version 4 where they switched to the more common interface with windows, menus and whatnot.
