I have absolutely no recollection of being able to put multiple statements on a line, separated by : - is that just my old brain forgetting stuff, or is there something else going on here?
- becurious 3y agoIt’s your brain. You could always do that in ZX Basic
- donio 3y agoStarting with the Spectrum to be precise. The ZX-81 version didn't have that yet.
- anonzzzies 3y agoMost (all?) basics could do that at the time: I used it a lot to get more on one screen (moving through numbered basic code was even more annoying than moving through code now). Also it saved a few bytes here and there which was quite crucial as there was not a lot of mem.
- ggambetta 3y agoTook me a while to remember this too (it had been 30 years)! I started using IF just GO TOing over a couple of lines whenever I had a more complex IF "block", but I had this nagging feeling that there was a better way :)
- lproven 3y agoAlmost all BASICs did that. It's just you.
