3 things in one. Help, introduction, a program.

Post by PET rock6 »

Introduction
Hello there.
One day [yesterday] I was searching on the internet.
I searched for old computer programs.
There it was.
The old computer, and programming language, that I thought was perfect for the person I am.
So, zoom, I went ahead and got a emulator, and messed with it, read up one some tutorials, etc.

Well, the part I need help on is...
Well, is there any free [hence the word FREE!] BASIC [turn BASIC into readable computer code, and store it as a file] and\or C compiler out there for the C128?

And, anyways, here's my program. It's a little bit scratchy, but I don't know if it's nice for a beginner on the first day of programming in BASIC 7.0 or not.

Code: Select all

10 PRINT "SIMPLE OVERCLOCKER"
20 PRINT "BY PETROCK6[AUSTIN]"
30 PRINT "1 = 2MHZ"
40 PRINT "2 = 1MHZ [NORMAL]"
50 PRINT "3 = WHAT IS OVERCLOCKING"
60 PRINT "4 = WHY/WHY NOT TO OVERCLOCK"
70 INPUT A
80 IF A=1 THEN GOTO 120
90 IF A=2 THEN GOTO 140
100 IF A=3 THEN GOTO 160
110 IF A=4 THEN GOTO 190
120 FAST
130 END
140 SLOW
150 END
160 PRINT "OVERCLOCK:"
170 PRINT "WHERE YOU INTENTIONALLY FORCE THE COMPUTER TO GO FASTER THEN THE INTENDED SPEED SET BY THE COMPUTER COMPANY."
180 END
190 PRINT "NOT VERY USEFULL ON THE C128, HOWEVER ON MAIN COMPUTER'S IT'S USED TO MAKE GAMES AND MOVIES PLAY WITHOUT 'LAG'"
200 END
So is it good?
Sorry, I would have it compiled.. I'm new to this stuff, so don't flame :D
