Talk:BASIC Programming

BASIC or Basic?

I've seen this game called both BASIC Programming and Basic Programming, and there's a pretty big difference in the two. The language environment represented isn't really all that similar to any other BASIC I know of, which leads me to believe maybe it's Basic instead of BASIC. Any thoughts?

The instruction booklet included with the cartridge always uses capitals in all letters: BASIC PROGRAMMING, stating clearly the meaning of the acronym. Since the booklet makes it clear that BASIC is an acronym, it stands to reason that it should be fully capitalized.

Worst cartridge ever

This had to be one of the worst, mostly useless cartridges ever. How can that be expressed in a non-POV way? Ewlyahoocom 07:02, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

Perhaps something could be said about the limitations of the Atari VCS as a programming environment and the resulting limitations on the power of the cartridge's programming system? Kevinlipe (talk) 00:47, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Limitations of the BASIC

I'm going on memories that are over 40 years old, but I seem to remember that statements like A←A+1 were not actually allowed. I think you had to do B←A+1 and then A←B to get the desired result. D A Hosek (talk) 16:50, 23 February 2021 (UTC)
