At 8 or 9 I wrote in an Amstrad CPC 464 a program in Basic that was moving the letters of my dad's company. I remember that at the time, I understood the for/next loop, but didn't think about the nested loop, so I wrote lots of code that could have been a two or three liners. Something like:
FOR I=1 TO 100
PLOT I,1
PLOT I,2
...
PLOT I,50

- duncan_bayne 12y agoHey, another Amstrad user :) Do you still develop for the system (as a hobby, of course)? There's an active community. E.g. check out: https://github.com/Octoate/cpc-sdcc-rom https://github.com/Octoate/cpc-sdcc-rom
- S4M 12y agoWell, the Amstrad is now either at my parents' house either in the garbage :( so I can't use it sadly... It was in the late 80's that I was playing with it, I'd love to check it again though.
