With 1.1, our main goal was to make the app nicer to use. A few flaws in 1.0 really got in the way: text too small on the screen, example programs where a shot did not fire on every press, controls sitting on top of the picture. They are fixed. The screen. Text now runs the full width, 40 columns, in chunky pixel letters as in 1983 (the smoother font is still in the settings). Colours a program sets with SETCOLOR show whatever the theme. In SCREEN mode nothing covers the picture any more: the joystick, the fire button and the keys sit around it. The example programs. In those where you shoot, and in SUPER JUMP, every press of FIRE counts. Your paddle or ship moves faster while you hold the joystick, and sounds are gentler. ALIEN CARGO, SPACE DEFENDERS, UFO HUNT and COMPOSER have been rebuilt. There is a new program, FOUR IN LINE, for two players or against the machine. For learning. The lexicon shows the list of words first, and each entry opens when you touch its word; TRY IT clears the screen before typing the example. The gallery opens on its sections and each program says what it does. The guide reads like a book and describes all 80 programs. PEEK and POKE now reach screen memory, character shapes, sound and the keyboard. BASIC 1983 is still an app for learning. Its example programs are simple on purpose: on a small scale, they show the programming techniques of the classics of 1983, the ones retro enthusiasts still use today. Read them, change them, and write your own. Happy coding!
