Episode 83 – 50 Years of BASIC

Can you game a chat client? The team at We Chat thinks that you can. We discuss that and how Google gamed their Google IO registration process with a wonderful little Easter Egg for 300 lucky developers.

BASIC is 50 and the Michaels celebrate by talking about games and gaming technology. What was your first program? We begin with something like:
10 print “Hello!”
20 goto 10

Or this:
10 print “* * * * * * * * * * *”
20 print ” * * * * * * * * * * *”
30 goto 10
