When I was a senior in HS,
our school got their first computers. 3 of them, but I have no idea what kind
they were. There was no computer class,
so they asked 1 or 2 kids from each grade if they wanted to use their study
hall and free time to be the guinea pigs and work independently through a
workbook. I was the lucky senior that
was picked. I breezed through the book
in about 3 weeks so I spent the entire rest of the semester writing a BASIC
program that recounted the play-by-play of the entire 1982 World Series. For example: - Tommy Herr lines a 2-2 pitch
into left field for a single; Ken Oberkfell hits sac fly to right, Herr advance
to second. So forth and so on. Sadly, I only got through the first two games. All the info was based on my scorecards that
I filled out while watching the games on TV.
There were three of them. Commodore PET models. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commodore_PET
ReplyDeleteIt may have actually been the model 4032 as shown on that page. The PET was in the ag room.
