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. There are three categories limiting the maximum line length allowed: PUR-80, PUR-120, and PUR-256. There is also SCHAU-256 category for non-game software, and WILD for submissions not fitting into any other category. Program should run on a 8-bit computer — such as Atari, for which an emulator exists.

Apple Macintosh Classic - Review

In the late 1970s, the first personal microcomputers appeared, as well as a separate class of devices - word processors. These were microcomputers with specialized software focused exclusively on editing and printing texts.

In far 1988, being a sixth-grader, I became for the first time, acquainted with the computer. The DVK-3M with the integrated black-and-white display and two five-inch disk drives; gorgeous but not for now. My first acquaintance took place with games from ASP corp. ─ three young programmers who had specialized in computers of the DVK family.
