Basic Programming Music

[Reno Nevada]

Back in the 80's, my cousin hit upon a rather catchy tune that you can make Basic Programming play. Check this one out... ( -> is the arrow)

 

Note -> Note + 5

Note -> Note - 3

Note -> Note + 8

Note -> Note - 5

Goto 1

 

And if any one else has some good sounding "Note" tune programs, I'd be interested in them if you'd like to share them. The above is a good one because it loops continuously without changing when it rolls back to 0.

I'm not sure what's more pathetic: that I specifically sat down to make this last time the topic came up, or that I was able to quickly locate a 2 year old, 6 line program on my hard disk so easily.

 

1 Note<-N

2 N<-N+If N Then 99 Else 2

3 Note<-Note

4 If P Then Else N<-N+2

5 P<-Note

6 If P-N+2 Then Goto 1

2 years? My "note" program is probably 20 years old. But I guess what makes me a real Basic Programming fan is that I decoded the octave that it plays and what note value equals what piano note, and I like to play this tune on my Casio keyboard.

 

My sister and I just say "plus five, minus three, plus eight, minus five", and it may sound like secret code to outsiders, but we know exactly what song it means.

When he says two years old, he means this thread here.

Pretty interesting thread anyway if you like messing with Basic Programming.
