Thanks for taking me back down memory lane. I use to do something like this when I was 8 or 9 years old. Basically, another way is that it's possible to create a POKE code that runs a mini-program that you create before executing the a program/game on Cassette tape or disk. The most popular way of using POKES is to CHEAT on the game to either skip levels, become God, etc. Yes, us Commodore 64/128 people could have been programming gurus if we kept it up, but the consoles came to our lives. :)
Basic was the easiest language to learn, but there were so many different versions for each brand of computer. IBM PC and Apple's was the favorite though.
A lot of other computers at that time had functions that allowed you to place the cursor at a specific location on the screen. The C64 had no such BASIC command, but it does have a built in function to do this. TO use it:
POKE 211,X : POKE 214, Y : SYS 58732
...that will place the cursor at the appropriate X/Y location on screen (rather than using multiple cursor key movements).
For a BASIC program saved to disk, a simple LOAD "*",8 would due. LOAD "*",8,1 is generally used for machine language programs that load into a specific area of memory, some automatically run, others load into memory and leave a simple basic program you run that calls the machine language code (with a SYS command).
You could also tell it to clear the screen first with a single key press inside a print quote. Other shortcuts were things like rather that typing "list" you could type "L" then SHIFT+"I" to list. or like POKE< the first two letters only, P+SHIFT O. You could press two keys to shift to a lowercase/upper case mode that would show the name of the floppy disk you have in rather than graphic characters as well.
I miss that computer, used it for many many years. ;)
You realize instead of typing out "PRINT" each time you could have simply put "?" in there and the computer would replace it with "PRINT" the next time you listed it. ;) There were many shortcuts that could be used.
My mint condition, fully working Amiga 4000 040 will be appearing on eBay in the next few days. Complete with SVGA monitor, keyboard, mouse, joystick, and loads of software. Happy bidding.
i remember the time whan i get commodore 64 for cristmas it cost 600dem and flopy 300 like today some good computer and all neighbourds come to me and we fuckd 2 joystick in 2 days :) and i alsou remember the bad days whan i write the program for a game almoust all day and than electricity is gone and i lost ewerything :P but for that times it was super computer like today u buy quad core good mother board and 4gigddr3 :)
@barwis1911 "Every" Kid? You lack logic, man! And the C64 generation wouldn't be possible without the early Altair and IBM generation and all the others inbetween and before. :/
MIDI-equipped Commodore 64s and SID emulators allow for the composition of sophisticated game-like tunes very quickly. And they don't have to cost much or anything at all.
Free VSTi and the likes of the MSSIAH can do the job for a fraction of the cost of new whizzo software.

@barwis1911 I love the C64, it was my first computer, It's what got me into computers, but what I don't like is when people like you berate everyone else and act like you're in the right just because you were first. Also, it's not Gameboy anymore, it's DS. And the C64 and DS have about as much in common as the IBM 8088 and the PS3. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the Commodore, It's such an interesting and unique system. I'm just setting things straight.
LOL dude I'm way ahead of you I do ASM 6502 just as easy as you do BASIC. BASIC is so ........old fashioned...... I remember I use to program complex apps in asm was the good old days of debugging asm, I so bloody miss it...........
My 1st ever computer, only ever used it for games, the tape deck, my god it was so slow but so cool at the time, you could have dinner and come back and it would still be loading the game, and winding the tape forward never helped :( dam i feel so old and im only 22
How the hell is 22 old? I'm nearly 39 and many people think I am your age, i.e. they ask what I am doing at Uni' or that 'Oh you won't remember that'......errr yes I do!
The c64 was the first games machine i ever had. I was 6 years old at the time and i remember writing in commands like that to get the games started. I think i broke the thing since i was so young... i wish i had given it some more care and respect that it deserved.
These were the days when America and slightly Japan were the only leaders in technology. Nowadays there's more competition because everyone have learned to uses technology invented in the US to create their own products.
@Dazzacopley Not only do many English cities have their own accents, they even have their own dialects. I think though because of the Internet a lot of this sort of thing will start to die out... well at least we'll be able to understand each other then! And yeah the guy in this vid sounds like a Brummie accent, the most retarded accent of Britain many reckon.
Richtig ... aber so merkt man, dass man alt wird:
"Ihr Kids wisst ja nicht wie das war, als wir unsere Spiele noch auf Datasetten laden mussten! Euch geht es mit euren Plae-staetions heute viel zu gut! Seinerzeit, da ..."
I'm was working with high-tech! I had a 128D!!!!! And a 1541-II floppy drive - not just some tapes ... shit, wonder if that stuff is internet compatible ...?
And let it be said - 20 years down the road - AMIGA++ SUCKS!!!! YOU'RE ALL A BUNCH OF SNOBS WITHOUT GAMES!!!
By the way, the kid talking in the background - it sound vaguely familiar to English ...

ya know for a shortcut instead of typing "load" you can just go "L(shift o) so "LO" and it works, same with List, you go L(shift i) like "LI" and it works too.
o the memories.
I remember you do "$",8 for the list on the main screen, or "*",8,1 to straight boot the program, sometimes goes to a more advanced list.
i got over 300 games on disks here! got like 10 games per disk!
Your first surprise when getting your new C64 out of the box... 64K of RAM... woohoo! 38911 bytes free... WTF !@#$%^& I've been bamboozled! Its all hidden underneath ROM...
@cobrachoppergirl Hehehe yeah, the 38,911 BASIC bytes free was for the BASIC on the surface (leaving room for the BASIC Interpreter beneath). In order to use the whole 64KB, you'd have to program in 6502 ML (Machine Language)...or was it 6510 ML...? I can't remember hehehehe
Yay, 664 blocks free :) Btw.. Your header was written in lowercase, that's why it's garbage when you list it, if you change the C64 to lowercase mode, it will show up correctly.
Aaah, memories of buying 'computer and videogames magazine' every month and typing in thousands of lines of codes that would happily keep me occupied for days only to have some silly shaped sprite bounce around the screen, or the dreaded "Syntax error" message. Grrr!
I had to favorite this just for the memories it brought back! WoW! I'll never forget my c-64 or c-128!!
damn, what fun! pain in the ass to type any program, Especially when i got the friggin syntax error!! I hate syntax errors!! Thanks 4 the trip down memory lane!

let me guess and when you loaded something it gave you the filename and also an 8 for some reason...
but somehow the programs would never work?

@EminoMeneko Hm? But "?" was an abbreviation ("shortcut") for PRINT.

Your first surprise when getting your new C64 out of the box... 64K of RAM... woohoo! 38911 bytes free... WTF !@#$%^& I've been bamboozled! Its all hidden underneath ROM...

@cobrachoppergirl Hehehe yeah, the 38,911 BASIC bytes free was for the BASIC on the surface (leaving room for the BASIC Interpreter beneath). In order to use the whole 64KB, you'd have to program in 6502 ML (Machine Language)...or was it 6510 ML...? I can't remember hehehehe

Question
When i was a little kid my older siblings had one
and whenever i typed on it the font was always changing color what was up with that ?
this was back when they use to air new episodes
of In Living Color so it was way back in the 90s.

lol - did it work? I had a c64 in the olden days!
wotdoesitmatter 2 years ago
Yep! I also tried it on a Apple IIc. Worked on that too!

Yay, 664 blocks free :) Btw.. Your header was written in lowercase, that's why it's garbage when you list it, if you change the C64 to lowercase mode, it will show up correctly.

Aaah, memories of buying 'computer and videogames magazine' every month and typing in thousands of lines of codes that would happily keep me occupied for days only to have some silly shaped sprite bounce around the screen, or the dreaded "Syntax error" message. Grrr!
10 Print "Commadores Rocked!";
20 goto 10
run.
ahh, the olden days... ;-)
