The annual BASIC 10-liner competition was invented in 2011 by Gunnar Kanold, a retrocomputing enthusiast who is teaching STEM disciplines at a secondary school in Friedrichstadt, Germany. The goal of the contest is to write the most exciting computer game in just 10 lines of BASIC, without machine code subroutines.
