[Coco] FW: Programs for the Dartmouth Time Sharing System Simulator Basic Programming Contest

Thu Feb 19 01:44:44 EST 2015

Hello Everyone,

Here’s a few additional details.  I did write the preceding message as a reminder, but I inadvertently left out an important link to the write up concerning this Contest on the Glenside Color Computer Club Events web page for the CoCoFEST which is 

http://www.glensideccc.com/cocofest/events.shtml

As I said in order to include as many people as possible, contestants need not be at the CoCoFEST in order to participate though it is encouraged.  All the details are outlined in the download document.  

One Fact some people have figured out is the DTSS Simulator can hold about  3KB of BASIC programming code.  John Mark Mobley on the CoCo List has found that he can dimension A(2000) which is of course a numeric variable with 2000 elements where each element is 4 bytes long which is a total of 8KB of storage space!  Interesting to say the least.  It seems there is a separate code and data areas.  We seem to the know about the size of the Code area.  Can someone figure out the size of the data area?  I’m sending this information out all the email groups who I think might have people who may be interested in this contest.  

There will be a showing of all the entries at the CoCoFEST Sunday time to be determined where a public voting will be held for all the programs entered.  I will make available all the entries so everyone will be able to try them out ahead of time.  The place of hosting will probably be my wiki page unless something else becomes available or is offered.  Thank you all for your interest in the contest.  I hope to see you all there.

Hi (Potential) Contestants of the Dartmouth Time Sharing System Simulator Basic Programming Contest,

I hope I have remembered every email list that might be interested.  I would like to remind everyone who are interested in writing programs for the Dartmouth Time Sharing System Simulator Basic Programming Contest to please send them to me when they are completed so I can gather them all together in one place.  I would most certainly appreciate it.  Thank you all for participating in this contest.  

As you may or may not know, I wanted to come up with a way to celebrate the 51st Anniversary of the Birth of the BASIC Programming language at this year’s CoCoFEST.  When I found the Dartmouth Time Sharing System Simulator written by one of BASIC’s original creators that simulates Dartmouth’s student’s original Basic programming environment, I thought this would be an excellent way to celebrate one of the most well-known programming languages ever created - BASIC.  

That is how this contest came to be, so if you are one of the many people with fond memories of learning how to program a computer in the Basic Language no matter what that computer might have been, then I would like to encourage you to enter this contest.  You do not need to be able to attend the CoCoFEST to win though I encourage you to do so.  We in the Glenside Color Computer Club welcome all people interested in our beloved 8-bit computers though we do put great emphasis on the Color Computer from Radio Shack.  May Radio Shack rest in peace.  Radio Shack was a place of many fond memories for me when I was a kid.  I hate to see her go.  Anyway, Happy Programming To All and To All A Good Night!  I hope to see you all at the CoCoFEST!  :)
