This is actually a mini demo creator that I first released on Compunet in 1986. Compunet was then swamped with crappy silent demos, and everyone hated me for it!
I like to think the message editor part is quite good, for its purpose. Undocumented key controls are:
HOME - Position at start of message
RETURN - Position at end of message
CLEAR - Delete entire message
CRSR LEFT/RIGHT - Move left/right through message
DELETE - Delete character at current position
SHIFT INS - Insert spaces at current position
RUN STOP - Exit to menu (message remains in memory)
The screen editor is based somewhat on the Compunet editor, in that it doesn't save a straighforward dump of characters, it crunches the screen content a bit. I don't think I stole the Compunet code for this, but just replicated it :)
When you Save your creation, it saves a demo, complete with BASIC SYS statement, which can be run independently. |
