Maximum length for that Basic line is 255 bytes I assume as there are no further specs.
Printing $things to screen and executing those seems allowed as well? |

Basically it's basically one line of basic max. You shall have one line.
We've updated the rules for this compo a little on our site, but might try to clarify it further. Basically, also, no ML code is allowed.
Looking forward to your entry. |

Quoting anonymBasically, also, no ML code is allowed. "Basically", yeah? =) You know, that kind of overspecific ruleset basically calls for creative hacks. |

I like creative hacks. |

To be completely anal about the BASIC oneliner rules, my assumptions:
1) "In a single line" means in a single line of BASIC, not a single line on screen (i.e. size is not limited to screen width of 40 chars).
2) As long as code can be typed in as a single line of BASIC (i.e. 80 chars), when listed, its length can exceed this.
3) "No machine language code may be included in the file" means that (ab)using kernal routines is still allowed.
4) "Code must be LIST-able" means that the code must be listable before execution, but does not need to be listable after.
Are these assumptions about correct? :) |

Thanks for your questions.
1) yes
2) yes
3) We'll clarify it to say: "no custom machine code allowed". Meaning you can use what the stock system provides.
4) I don't think we're planning on listing or running it a second time.
Looking forward to your entry. |

It is possible to craft a working BASIC program with one line spanning a lot more than 80 tokens.
In other words, what do the rules say about a BASIC oneliner clocking in at say, 64 blocks on disk? =) |

If it has to be listable it'll be 255 bytes max IIRC. |

Quoting tlrIf it has to be listable it'll be 255 bytes max IIRC. Alright, so it's restricted to 1 disk block plus some change. =) |
