COMAL Corner #8
===== ====== ==
by Joel Ellis Rea
Welcome, fellow COMALites, to yet
another installment of COMAL Corner.
This month we continue the COMAL 0.14
Tutorial, as well as report the June
COMAL PlayNotes (the summaries of the
Thursday evening COMAL meetings on the
PlayNET Telecommunications Service).
As far as programs go, this month
brings 'Higher-Lower', the classic
parlor game written in COMAL Kernal,
so it is compatible with both COMALs.
Try to guess the C64's randomly-chosen
number in the range 1-1000 in 12 or
fewer guesses. This is an excellent
example of how COMAL's structure makes
programs not only easier to write, but
also easier to READ! LIST the program
and see for yourself. You can get
into the program by LOADing COMAL and
then ENTERing "LK*"
The tutorial this month covers some
of the most important COMAL system
commands, such as NEW, LOAD, SAVE, CAT
and PASS. It shows how to use PASS to
format a new diskette, then SAVE the
COMAL temperature-conversion program
we have been working on to it, then
CATalog the disk to make sure the
program is there, then clear memory
so a NEW program can be written or an
old one LOADed.
Next issue I will be reporting on
the MARCA convention, both generally
in the Paperless Pages, and COMAL in
particular in the COMAL Corner. Watch
for it! See you next issue or on any
Thursday night PlayNET meeting!
