GW-Basic for me. But I won't admit to being a programmer  Despite having used various Basic dialects, Pascal, Delphi, a little bit of C, PHP and one or two batch languages...

POKE PROGRAM OF DOOM!
10 A = 1
20 POKE A, INT(RND * 256)
30 A = A + 1
40 GOTO 20
Run it, and watch the funky colors
I'm not responsible for any damages from this program though, so don't sue me! |

Re: OT: Look what I can do...
My first programming was in Fortran, on punch cards, run on a "room full" of computer at a college 15 miles away from my college. My college didn't have a computer, but we did have a card punch machine!
Those were the days. I think we did 6-8 programs in an entire semester.

Vic 20. I had one going once where there where two floors and you could climb up ladders and this thing would drop stuff on you.
Of course, Greybeard wins for oldest program...

Re: OT: Look what I can do...
heehee I can still read punch cards. And I remember a "room full of computer" (one computer) that offered 32 bit programming as 32 toggle switches and an enter key.
Null, I did try your program (with a limit on the doom part). My basic didnt seem to like it. But then Im using a basic which I can use on both windows and linux so Im not surprised that it didnt want to do it.
