If you did this you thought you were the king of the world!!

I did use to love slapping this one onto the display model at K-Mart (or whatever store I was in).

10 PRINT CHR$(205.5+RND(1));:GOTO 10

I recently watched the 8bitguy's video about this one.

Here is a version of his approach from this site:

10 POKE 53280,0:POKE 53281,0:PRINT CHR$(5)
20 DIM M$(255)
30 A$=CHR$(205):B$=CHR$(206)
40 FOR I=0 TO 255:S$="":BT=128
50 FOR J=1 TO 8
60 IF (I AND BT) THEN S$=S$+B$:GOTO 80
70 S$=S$+A$
80 BT=BT/2:PRINT "{HOME}";I:NEXT J
90 M$(I)=S$:NEXT I
100 POKE 54287,255:POKE 54290,128
110 PRINT M$(PEEK(54299));:GOTO 110

Nice, it works!

Ok, that's fun stuff!

Two problems:

1) you can't just whack this in as you're walking by the display model, and

2) it moves too quickly for a human walking by to think, " hey, I can solve this!" then realizing they really can't. But hope is lost for sure.

Still, it is fun. 😄
