I think that BLuRry and I are both Apple II fanatics. Obviously, the Apple II lacked the platform specific PETSCII character set — so it’s an easy hack on Commodore. Porting is tricky and often messy, especially your description in the book for the graphics on Atari.

The book’s free, so you’re welcome to engage the actual discussion and arguments that the ten of us developed over the past two years.

Here’s a cross-platform that is a little more universal.

10 PRINT CHR$(47 + (INT(RND(1)+.5)*45)); : GOTO 10
