Viper Test Pattern by Alternative Engineering. Released |
|
in 1981 for the Bally Arcade/Astrocade. For use with a |
|
RAM Expansion and an extended BASIC, such as Vipersoft |
|
BASIC or Blue Ram BASIC. |
|
|
|
According to The BASIC Express newsletter, "The program |
|
puts up a gorgeous ever-changing complex pattern on the |
|
screen. You would swear that 32 different colors are on |
|
screen at the same time." This is a neat program that |
|
uses some of the features of extended BASIC (such as the |
|
CIRCLE command) and the additional colors that are not |
|
available without using machine language from Bally BASIC |
|
or "AstroBASIC." |
|
|
|
This video art program was released on a cassette tape |
|
with Viper 1 RAM Expansion. It also appeared in |
|
July/August 1981 BASIC Express newsletter (Vol. 3, Pages |
|
26-27) and the December 1981 Arcadian newsletter (Vol. 4, |
|
Page 19). |
