Call it what it is… No holds barred.
As part of the continuing series of fractal programs for the TRS-80 Color Computer, I have converted a program found at RosettaCode that displays the Julia Set Fractal. The source originally was for a ZX Spectrum computer whose BASIC code was not all that different from the Color Computer Basic that Tandy uses for the Read More …
As part of my continuing series of fractal programs for the TRS-80 Color Computer emulator, I am offering the following program that was converted from an AppleSoft example at RosettaCode. The program creates the classic “Chaos Game” Sierpinskiย triangle. We showed a version of this program that creates the Sierpinski Triangle in a slightly different Read More …
Some programs are so fiendishly simple that you just have to smile when you see them. This program by a gentleman named Bill Sexton is one such program found at the Color Computer Archive web site. It draws a fractal leaf on the display and NEVER quits running. As I am writing this, the program Read More …
As part of a series of articles on Chaos Theory and classical programs from my early days of computing, I am sharing a favorite program which generates a population bifurcation diagram when running. Years ago I wrote a program to generate these diagrams on my old Radio Shack Color Computer when I had a lot Read More …
More than a few years ago, I was blessed to acquire a Radio Shack Color Computer which was brand new and with which I first explored the world of computing LONG before there was an Internet to connect to. Back then, we haunted the BASIC language books and BBS systems as well as user meetings Read More …
