Ancient computer stuff you remember?

[Lady Whistledown]

And that (I think) Logic programming thing, I'm not much of an IT geek- as is no doubt obvious- but there was something that appeared on the screen called a turtle.

At least that's what they called it to us when they were trying to teach us to use basic commands. As with most Speccy things, I seem to remember having to type in lines of code, then finally pressing enter, to see the thing rotate by 90 degrees and draw a line. Wow.

Does ANYONE know what I'm on about??

You mean like this?

10 REM *** How to Print "Brighton are Cool 10 times ***
20 Let N=0
30 Print "Brighton are Cool"
40 Let N=N+1
50 If N=10 THEN GOTO 70
60 GOTO 20
70 END

That was the good old days. And if you put a , at the end of line 30, it would Print across the page instead of down it.

thems were the days

10 FOR N = 1 TO 10
20 PRINT "seeeeeagullsss!"
30 NEXT N
