A BASIC music player that draws synchronized scrolling note rectangles on screen while playing multiple tunes through BEEP, with notes packed cleverly into DATA statements.
A multi-song BASIC music player that precomputes an equal-temperament frequency table and uses polyphonic sound hardware to play melodies with synchronized on-screen graphics.
A three-mode music program lets you compose tunes by typing letters, play a graphical keyboard in real time, or unleash a randomised bird-call synthesiser.
Flip your entire character set upside-down, load hand-crafted letter shapes, or restore the ROM font — all by jumping to a single line number.
