Tag Me More - Quiz Results, Part 4
4. The first program that I developed was
a) Landing on the Moon in machine code for Texas Instrument 58c
That was my very first program, that I converted from paper-computer,
when I was 14. Sure, with big help from my father, who explained me how
registers work. Good school for optimizing a memory, it was a nightmare in
these days. And if you made a mistake when you translate your program to machine instructions or storing it to the calculator? Huh, I loved debugging machine code.
b) Tank battle in assembler for PMD80
My first game in assembler, in very simple text graphics. Actually, it
was a multiplayer, people could play against each other on one
keyboard. Short battles, very addictive. It played even some music and
sounds on internal speaker.
c) machine code for 8080 processor that controlled drum simulator
I made a drum simulator, based on scheme from Amaterske Radio, the
magazine for geeks in these days. But someone had to push buttons in
rhythm, when i played bass guitar. So I developed a computer code, that
could do it for me. I don't remember a computer name (shame on me), it
was the one that was stored in suitcase, very simple one.
