BASIC short start challenge Author: Mik / Computer Asylum Category: Christmas Challenge System: Oric 1/Atmos Language: BASIC Len source code: 99 Len exe file: 107 Len code only: ? Instructions: Insert tape file (depends on emulator used) Type: CLOAD"BSHSC" PAPER0:INK7 CLS:RUN Description: This is the algorithm that goes through all the points in the "star" rectangle and prints only the needed ones. The code is short, but not very efficient due to the ABS function call for each point of the "star" grid. Comments: To time the execution speed add these lines to the begining and end of the program: 0T=DEEK(#276) 4?T-DEEK(#276) This returns the hudred parts of a second that the code took to run, so to get the seconds, divide by 100. My speed result is 8.42s
