Hi. Can anyone remember far enough back to recall a very early digital animation of a grown-up table lamp being annoyed by a very bouncy baby one with a ball? I think it was called Son of something or other - something or other being a well- known make of anglepoise lamp in the US.
I remember some smartarse, while I wasn’t looking, loaded a little app called “Virus” on my Atari STFM. Little black pixels slowly ate away the desktop. I still remember the horror…
Haha, that reminds me; twenty years ago I made a little app called ‘Fly’.
It was basically a little fly that ‘flew’ randomly over your screen and ate away the pixels.
I found out how to send it to another terminal and shocked some of my colleagues!
‘Fly 2.0’ had a little spider added that tried to catch the fly.
It was great fun to develop this (all during working hours, of course… ) with the very basic graphical possibilities at the time. I was programming in BBX (or Business Basic) then.
