S1500 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Did I post this already? I wonder what she's programming. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bO4-Vlx-8g0 <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/bO4-Vlx-8g0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moulinaie Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Strange... At 0:25 you can see a line with: PAPER 5: CLS : INK 0:.... That's really not TI-BASIC ! (those instructions don't exist on TI and a double ":" is needed to separate.) It's more something like Microsoft Basic... Guillaume.

matthew180 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 I looks like ZX Spectrum BASIC. http://www.worldofspectrum.org/ZXBasicManual/ The ZX seems to have all the commands I see in the video: LOAD, BORDER, "GO TO" and "GO SUB" written as two words, PAPER, INK, FLASH, "LET" used for all variables, single colon for multiple commands, etc. Plus the ZX supported drawing commands in BASIC which explains the few graphics seen in the video (the hands and the outline of the man being drawn a pixel at a time). The problem with the ZX, like the other Sinclare computers, is that they look like big calculators and the girl needed something that looked like a computer to type on, so they used the 99/4A.

+retroclouds Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 This must have been the prettiest TI-99/4A programmer ever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tursi Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Using a TI Keyboard to replace the ZX one was a popular hack, too... maybe that's a Spectrum in a TI case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sometimes99er Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 No, not one bit, unfortunately. She popped up during the week in one of the daily developer newsletters. Besides her looks, I liked her enthusiasm about computers and programming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
