KeyJ's ZX Star Author: KeyJ / TRBL Category: Christmas Challenge System: Sinclair ZX Spectrum Language: Sinclair BASIC Len source code: 122 bytes (BASIC as ASCII), 112 bytes (zmakebas source code) Len exe file: 138 bytes (tape file) Len code only: 113 bytes (raw BASIC dump) Instructions: - build with: $ zmakebas vc3_22_zx_zmakebas.bas -l -a 1 -s 1 -i 1 -o vc3_22_zx.tap - using Russell Marks' zmakebas utility - can be installed on standard Ubuntu Linux systems with $ sudo apt install zmakebas - run in basically any emulator by drag&drop of the .tap file or via command line - e.g., on Linux again: $ fuse vc3_22_zx.tap - if the emulator doesn't autostart the tape, enter the LOAD "" command manually - that's usually J, Ctrl+P, Ctrl+P, Enter Description: Several options were tried, but in the end, a parametric description of the star shape was used, as that resulted in the least amount of code. Comments: Essentially a literal transcript of my Python entry. It wasn't planned that way, but this turned out to be the most compact representation.
