who wrote this and what does it mean?!

These one-liners make good use of the print and poke commands. We know that PRINT was inherited from the earliest Dartmouth BASIC implementation. Did Bill Gates invent the POKE command?


these are too dangerous and bizarre to be distributed in a book like this.

  • Crazy VIC-II

10 poke 53248+rnd(0)*46,rnd(0)*256: goto 10

  • Nutty VIC-II

10 poke 53248+24,rnd(0)*256: goto 10


This is too hardcore: Commodore 64 users have experienced so many different system crashes that they can be aesthetically categorized. For example, the following one-liner:

  • Snowcrash - do not use on real Commodore 64

10 poke 53248+24,timeand255: goto 10

  • Crashes I Have Known and Loved.

Also, this one-liner imitates a particular set of crashes, those involving complex writes to the video hardware: 10 poke 53248+17,(time/10)and255: goto 10
