    Pascal Programming Your Own Adventure Game In Pascal by Richard C. Vile, Jr.

    I'm currently working my way through this book on adventure game programming in Pascal. My intent is to get it working in Apple Pascal 1.1 on my Apple IIe then port it to other languages. Most likely AppleSoft Basic next. Then over to TI Basic on my TI 99/4A and eventually onto a 68K Macintosh...

    Pascal Apple Pascal 1.3 Compiler Error

    Except that the guy in the video above isn't having this problem. So, corrupted disk?

    Pascal Apple Pascal 1.3 Compiler Error

    I tried out Pascal 1.1 and the code worked fine. Also, I contacted the person who created this video and he offered to send my his copy of his disks.

    Pascal Apple Pascal 1.3 Compiler Error

    I'm attempting to work with Apple Pascal 1.3 on my Apple IIe. Aside from the Pascal OS being strange, and the lack of assessable books and tutorials, I'm running into a compiler error on a very simple Hello World type program. I wonder if anyone can recognize the, probably obvious, error in the...

    Any idea what this is?

    Well, the thing was bid on by several people and the price was higher than my curiosity. It will remain a mystery.

    Any idea what this is?

    It looks like mini-computer memory modules to me. Available at a local auction. If I bid on it, I'll likely get it for less than $3. I have no idea if it would be useful as is or for parts.

    Display graphic FULL SCREEN on Mac SE?

    Command-M is the message box. There is a command to toggle the menu bar. I was thinking a scrip that would also hide the cursor and move to the next card.

    Display graphic FULL SCREEN on Mac SE?

    I realize this is an old post but it's an interesting problem. The HyperCard stack could be toggled to display full screen with a key click. I'll poke around and see what I can come up with. Maybe I can incorporate this as an example stack for my course on practical applications.

    Recent HiBid Auction

    This is one of the reasons I only bid on items I can pick up locally from auction sites and individual sellers, present company excluded. The downside of course is a limited selection. If you are a collector, you're going to do a much better job of packaging.

    I miss the internet...

    THIS^^^ I miss the early days when I worked at a small consulting company and the owners asked us "who knows how to create web pages?". None of us really did. At least not dynamically generated web sites, but a few of us knew how to use markup languages. Our first web sites sucked AND it was...

    Idaho Apple Haul Hard Drives?

    Definitely keep and sell the adapters! When I purchased my Performa 550 the owner insisted on removing the hard drive which is entirely understandable. They did not realize the adapter went with the computer. Convinced them to remove it and give it to me. Totally worth a second trip to pick it...

    Documentation for DB15 to VGA adapters

    I have the same adapter. If you're looking for sync-on-green capable monitors, this site helped me find one: http://ps-2.kev009.com/sog/ For my Macintosh IIci I picked up a Dell Model 1905FP monitor that works when combined with this adapter https://www.ebay.com/itm/271137033572 with the...

    ThinkC Creating dynamic lists in ThinkC

    I’m camping this weekend. When I get back I’ll see what I can find. I’m sure there are many data structures and algorithms in C texts out there.
