Robotic Liberation by PWP (VIC-20)

I still have a semi-functional VIC20. It seems to have a somewhat corrupt ROM. I didn't think it was possible.

20 GOTO 10

Damn thing seems to have lost its vocablary. But simple mathematical operations still compute.

WOW ... seriously

WOW - on an unexpanded vic 20 that is unbelieveable

that was very cool

Fun fact: Computer processing power isn't supposed to surpass human brain processing power until 2038-ish. So, until 2083-ish, the 'bots behind Robotic Liberation are all stupider then us :p

Also, how would the RL react to a Cyborg? force the Cyborg to stand halfway between a human and robot city?

Isn't 2038 when the 32-bit dating system for calenders is suppose to fail?

Robotic Liberators want to destroy all humans, if they're really that smart, they'll put the Cyborgs brain into a hard drive or something, but the question is...

Can the human brain be stored as a discrete sequence of 0's and 1's?

I can't even understand half of what has been said here.
But this demo rocks.

Read the text while it's going.

The demos notes cite that it's a psychological effect put simply.

I was gonna holler "FAKE!" until I read the post about streaming from a 1541. My VIC20 only held 5K... but if it was loading from a disk...
1 disk = 664 "blocks"
1 block = 255 Bytes (right?)
255 * 664 = about 170K on a disk.
Mythbusters says: doable.

Yes, doable.

And as for a block size, it's 256 bytes but usually the first 2 are numbers of the next track and section (block coordinates).

Thanks! I've been trying to figure that out since 1986. I remember it needed a byte for adressing... And (I looked) it was 604 blocks on an ancient floppy...

1 disk = 604 blocks
1 block = 254 bytes of 8 bits
1 bit = 1 bit
------------------------------ -----------
About 154K useable.
That is plenty of memory to a VIC20.

I love everything here, especially the text. Awesome
