PlayBASIC LIVE: Retro Computer Environment (Learn Binary & Hex) 2017-05-23
This video presents a way new programmers can improve their knowledge of binary/hexadecimal, low level memory and binary operations by jumping in and attempting to write some fill routines for our retro computer environment, or RCE for short. The RCE challenge provides a simple 1 bit plane display where the user is challenged to write various primitive drawing functions, ranging from the dots to circles. These were skills 8bit & 16bit programmers had to master, but we're become spoiled, making such a challenge difficult for modern programmers.
