(dick/CHAIR) tom ga

(Archie) #
(d.g.g.) It will it is the Atari Cart I refer to.
(dick/CHAIR) DGG>GA
(dick/CHAIR) THEN ARCH
(d.g.g.) Anyhow, I suspect that LIST capabilities might make...
(d.g.g.) an interesting base for Adventure games...
(d.g.g.) with the added cuteness of the graphics...
(d.g.g.) I did a 4 Turtle race with commentary..
(d.g.g.) night one! anyone else played with it?ga
(dick/CHAIR) arch>ga
(Archie) The Atari Cartridge can be obtained considerably cheaper--I paid $75 at AB..
(Archie) Computing in Montgomeryville, PA
(Archie) I have an interest in the LIST capabilities, since I have used LISP..
(dick/CHAIR) #
(Archie) How many others are interested in the LISP-likeness?  GA
(Wayne) Hello, all. Logo cartridges are showing up in my area only a few at a time.
(d.g.g.) #
(dick/CHAIR) hi wayne!
(- tom) #
(Wayne) That is my primary interest--I've had a lot of fun with list processing...
(dick/CHAIR) Arch>>haven't seen much LISP...
(dick/CHAIR) TYPE "#" TO TALK
(Wayne) and am now interested enough to look at Lisp on larger computers.
(dick/CHAIR) WAYNE>>
(dick/CHAIR) ...
(Wayne) Ok
(dick/CHAIR) TYPE "#" TO TALK
(dick/CHAIR) thanks
(Archie) #
(dick/CHAIR) Just about everything I've done...
(dick/CHAIR) to date is up in XA 5 ...
(dick/CHAIR) under /key:LOGO
(dick/CHAIR) ...
(dick/CHAIR) my proudest to date is SAVPRO...
(dick/CHAIR) which allows you to save an...
(dick/CHAIR) individual procedure out ...
(dick/CHAIR) of the work space...
(d.g.g.) #
(dick/CHAIR) Current projects...
(dick/CHAIR) An automatic programming utility...
(dick/CHAIR) which records immediate mode
(dick/CHAIR) commands, assembles them into a ...
(dick/CHAIR) program, checks syntax...
(dick/CHAIR) and allows you to back step forward...
(dick/CHAIR) and back...
(dick/CHAIR) Also working on a FILL command...
(dick/CHAIR) and an appropriate response to henry's...
(dick/CHAIR) canard that one turtle can't point at...
(dick/CHAIR) another!
(dick/CHAIR) dgg >>ga then tom then arch
(d.g.g.) Thnx...
(henry h) hello???
(d.g.g.) It sounds to me like there are 2 schools of user ...
(d.g.g.) the list processors & the graphics drawers....
(d.g.g.) Dick, I suggest we give Arch a ! priority to dump this...
(dick/CHAIR) SOUNDS GOOD!
(Wayne) #
(d.g.g.) as needed and something else to t/o for /ust's. ga
(dick/CHAIR) MARLENE IS USTing
(Marlene) I certainly am - and watch your language Dick!!!
(Archie) Is she USTo that?
(dick/CHAIR) Iff dave's finished, its Arch's turn
(dick/CHAIR) hehehehe
(- tom) Achie- (Ugh!)
(Archie) What about Tom?
(dick/CHAIR) pheh!
(- tom) Indeed, what about Tom?
(dick/CHAIR) SORRY
(dick/CHAIR) ...
(dick/CHAIR) your right >>tom ga
(dick/CHAIR) then arch
(- tom) How much compatability is there between the various versions of Logo
(- tom) for the Atari (& Apple), and; How much free memory do you have?  In the
(dick/CHAIR) TYPE "GA" WHEN DONE.
(dick/CHAIR) tom>>
(- tom) Apple version that I have, you run through memory like
(- tom) it's going out of style.  (On a machine
(- tom) that can handle 40k text files, its upsetting!)  ga
(Archie) I believe that the company which produced LOGO is the same for Apple and Atari.
(dick/CHAIR) anyone>want to respond?
(Wayne) #
(dick/CHAIR) LCSI>>therre the same
(Archie) I haven't done enough to blow up memory yet--but I do get a lot of pauses..
(dick/CHAIR) except our's is a lot better!!!
due to garbage collecting.
(- tom) ( I have the Krell version for the Apple)
(dick/CHAIR) Memory is pretty short in the ATARI...
(Archie) I am interested in both graphics (dick/CHAIR) I forget how many Nodes ...
and lists--
(d.g.g.) #
(Wayne) #
(dick/CHAIR) I get on recycle.
(Archie) especially in use with education--anyone else similarly inclined?
GA
(dick/CHAIR) apple , krell are easy translations
(dick/CHAIR) wayne>>ga
(- tom) (Dick- Good!)
(Wayne) The various Logo's I've looked at...
(Wayne) (Krell, Apple, and so on) are very similar...
(Wayne) much more so than BASICs on different machines...
(dick/CHAIR) #
(Wayne) Since there are no books right now on the Atari specific version...
(Wayne) I suggest Abelson's book (Logo for the Apple) and Watt's book (Learning with Logo). ga
(dick/CHAIR) dgg>ga
(d.g.g.) #
(dick/CHAIR) dgg>wayne's working on an adventure!
(dick/CHAIR) dgg>ga
(Wayne) #
(d.g.g.) Would pooling our mutual insights and writing a book for profit as...
(d.g.g.) a group be against SIG policy....
(d.g.g.) Can Papert control LOGO to the extent...
(d.g.g.) that it won't become like the basics, pascals, etc....
(- tom) #
(d.g.g.) Have All of you read the three or so...
(d.g.g.) major, recent articles?ga
(dick/CHAIR) dick , then wayne
(dick/CHAIR) I would think that...
(dick/CHAIR) SIG policy would encourage us...
(henry h)  neopotisim!!!
(dick/CHAIR) to pool our talents...
(dick/CHAIR) hehehehe
(dick/CHAIR) to produce something commercial if...
(dick/CHAIR) we so choose...
(- tom) (CompuServe could cause problems
(dick/CHAIR) stuff we develop here...
(DANIEL CHANEY) HI EVERYBODY
(dick/CHAIR) could be a spring board..
