| + | The maze-as-dance can be seen in contemporary video games, such as Dance, Dance Revolution, which is presented as a series of proper moves. However, false steps do not trap the dancer in the space, they merely cost points. In any event, dance in these games-as-labyrinths present sequences of moves of exploration. | ||

Before viewing 10 PRINT as producing a sort of dance, it's worthwhile to note that there are BASIC programs for the Commodore 64 that are explicitly said to dance, or to produce dancing output. One example is "Michael's Dancing Mouse," a 30-line BASIC program included on page 167 of the ''Programmer's Reference Guide'' and which is completely explicated, statement by statement, on the pages that follow. This program "uses three different sprites in a cute animation with sound effects" (PRM p. 166). By considering how this dancing program works, and how exactly it can be said to dance, we will be able to see in what ways 10 PRINT produces dancing output. | Before viewing 10 PRINT as producing a sort of dance, it's worthwhile to note that there are BASIC programs for the Commodore 64 that are explicitly said to dance, or to produce dancing output.
