Hi Jim, and thanks for joining! I follow your excellent work on the wee MC! With regards to the block graphics, can they be displayed with a simple chr$(x)? are they part of the rom set? If they answer is yes, then they are perfectly fine mate.

Hi Jim. Having researched the method, I am happy that it complies with the rules 👍

Hi Jim, great work on the submissions so far! Could I ask if there is a TXT version of your code included in the zip? I can only find the .C10 versions. The reason being that as part of the judging process, I have automated the 72 char check, and I need a raw TXT.

Hi Jim, and thanks for that, but it would make my life a bit easier if the txt version was included in the submission.

Hello there! My machine of choice is the very humble CBM PET. I love its PETSCII character set. My submission includes pure text source code. However, the PET's control characters have been converted to descriptors. This means it looks longer than the 72chrs allowed on several lines. Each descriptor is actually 1 chr. Hope that's okay.

Hi Greg. That's fine mate, I'm aware of the txt translation from the control chars. If you could include a screen shot showing the code 'as on screen' that would be great. Cheers.

It's great to see such a selection of platforms represented in the submissions. it's the Vic for me of course, not my first computer but the one I spent most time with as a teen. The graphic characters in the character set are great and I've never appreciated Commodore's abbreviations as much as I do now!

My understanding is that any character from the computer's ROM is allowed.
