Re: I'm looking for a list of tricks for BASIC programming,

well, you can ask me, I am a basic guru!

Unfortunately I only have Hungarian books.... I would scan it, but you should learn Hungarian!

Better if we make it Q&A way...

My best trick is SYS62116

Any thing of use to you in the HTML Commodore Basic 3.5 Manual by Janne Peräaho?

Thank you Lando, but sorry the link results broken

Anyway is it the original manual or a "personalized" one?
I ask for this, because in the official manual usually there is no trick.
Bye

Re: I'm looking for a list of tricks for BASIC programming,

Sorry. When we were changing the site because of copyright issues folder names were changed.

They are based around the normal Plus4 manual and should cover most of the commands. Most tricks are created around POKE, PEEK and SYS as you know, but no list of what des what

Re: I'm looking for a list of tricks for BASIC programming,

Here's an interesting thing to try on your Plus/4: SYS32800,123,45,6 and press Return.

I know.... everyone says this is for the 128. But on the Plus/4 (and I would presume the C16 too) this outputs a list of all cartirdges attached to the system and their F-key assignments, just as if you had turned the machine on. One problem though, it returns the system back to the READY prompt.

It could be used in a program to 'sense' what cartridges are attached.... clear the screen, SYS, then PEEK the first two rows of memory and build your own menu. This could be handy, as I have one system with SpeedScript instead of 3+1.

Re: 32800

That's a cool one James... Haven't seen it before. This one is not really a basic trick, but it's cool: SYS 52651! It's the old OS easter egg with the progammers' names.
