(From the MAGIC column, compiled by Louis F. Sander. "MAGIC is tricks, MAGIC is fun. MAGIC is doing what cannot be done." "MAGIC is a monthly column of hints, tricks and odds and ends from the worlds of software, hardware and applications. ... MAGIC features simple hardware ideas, one-line programs, useful programming techniques, little-known computer facts and similar items of interest.")

==$93==

Amazing one-liner -- Here is one of the best one-liners I have ever seen. It works on the VIC and C-64, drawing a continuous maze that is very interesting.

<code>8 PRINT CHR$(205.5 + RND(8)); : GOTO 8</code>

To get random colors on the C-64, add <code>CHR$(149+RND(8)*11)</code> just before the semicolon.
