I'm really glad I stumbled on your video. I think the idea of a single line program is an awesome challenge!
Has anybody else picked up the gauntlet and made their own single line program? This could easily be a universal challenge for all vintage computer enthusiasts, although I'm not sure how many characters other 8-bit systems allow you to put on one line.
I'll study your code in more depth when I get the chance. Nice work!
@ForViewingOnly One of my friends had a go, inspired by my Missile Dodge, to create a vertical scrolling treasure hunt game "Orcs" (search for "orcs deathprog23" on youtube).
At the time I wrote the original (early 80s) there was a definite push to get the most out of the limited resources available - I think there were other 1-line program challenges out there, and I definitely remember a computer magazine doing a 10-line program challenge. I don't remember anyone else trying games though :-)
