A new blog entry of mine, where we dive into a mysterious comment at the beginning of the 46-year-old BASIC source for the game The Wizard's Castle. For fun. https://beej.us/blog/data/mystery-comment/ #programming #retrocomputing #retrogaming

@pheonix@hachyderm.io I'm totally on board. And it's a beautiful construct--IIRC Ken coded it up in a weekend (don't quote me). The fact that it was so easy to add just lends credence to the idea that Unix is *Right* from the ground up. 🙂

@RunRichRun@mastodon.social my sense of scale was way off looking at those photos. I thought those were shrubs, but they're full-on trees. That thing is giant! Thanks for sharing it.
