Addition 1

Program

A currency-style addition program that accumulates entered numbers into a running total, using a string-formatting subroutine that the author himself flagged as broken.

Awful Anagram

Program

Race to unscramble ten tricky words and phrases before a rising thermometer graphic reaches the top and the cauldron boils over.

A compact BASIC loader for the BROADWAY font.

Caloriburn

Program

Enter an activity number and exercise duration to instantly calculate calories burned and the equivalent weight loss in both kilograms and pounds.

Program

Browse every character in the built-in font one by one, with each glyph's 8×8 pixel bitmap rendered live on screen using custom block graphics.

Charecter4

Program

A four-font character set switcher that POKEs custom lettering styles into the system font pointer, ready to bolt onto any BASIC program.

Codeloader

Program

A full machine code entry suite that lets you load, edit, and execute Z80 routines byte-by-byte in hex or decimal, with live memory peek and relocation tools.

Color Bars

Program

A looping screen-fill demo cycles through six ink colors in horizontal and vertical passes, then transitions through progressively sparser block-graphic patterns with keypress pauses between each stage.

Crasher

Program

A fast-paced car race game uses custom UDG characters, SCREEN$ collision detection, and a looping sound-and-light title screen to challenge your reflexes.

Dating Game

Program

A two-player compatibility quiz covering dinner, movies, music, and more daring topics — can ten questions reveal whether you and your date are truly a match?

Daysheet

Program

A bookkeeping day-sheet tool for tracking charges, payments, and adjustments lets you skip awkward shifted punctuation keys while automatically cross-checking your totals.

Dumb Computer Poker

A full five-card draw poker game complete with card graphics, AI betting logic, and a multi-voice chip-tune rendition of "The Gambler" playing between hands.

Flow

Program

An alternate font for the TS 2068.

Games

Program

Six games in one BASIC collection — a decision oracle, slot machine, space shooter with joystick support, lottery picker, and more — all driven by a smooth cursor menu.

Idaho Squares

Program

Crack a cleverly constructed 3×3 number grid where every row sums to 27 — but four cells are hidden and only your arithmetic intuition can restore them.

Med-Expert

Program

A rule-based medical expert system uses Bayes' Theorem to diagnose over 90 illnesses by asking symptom questions scored on a -5 to +5 scale and iteratively updating disease probabilities.

Memory Mat

Program

Flip numbered tiles to uncover playing cards and match all 26 pairs in this concentration game that tracks your choices and rewards memory.

Multisort

Program

Merge this bubble sort routine into your tape catalog program and it will alphabetically sort program names, titles, and numeric data — even if it takes hours.

Notes

Program

A user-group tape header program displays club guidelines on copyright, compatibility, and error-fixing — a candid snapshot of early hobbyist software sharing practices.

On Your Mark

Program

Pick your favorite runner and watch eight UDG-animated racers sprint across the screen in this BASIC horse-race game with sound and flashing results.

Opcode Vocabulary Builder

A BASIC program plays Chopin's Prelude through a three-channel sound chip, with adjustable tempo and continuous-loop options driven by hundreds of register values.

Scroll

Program

Two Z80 machine code routines deliver a smooth left-and-right pixel scroll across a full screen of text — no flicker, pure bit-shifting magic.

Showdown

Program

A two-player gunfighter duel loads a hex-encoded machine code routine, verifies it with a checksum, and then lets both players battle it out with custom sprites.

Sidescroll

Program

A pure-BASIC scrolling ticker that slides any long string across a single screen row, showcasing just how fast substring printing can be.

A party game simulation for up to 20 players that spins a virtual bottle, pairs opposite-sex players for forfeits, and removes eliminated players by compacting its own arrays.

Spooky

Program

Font for the TS 2068.

Peek inside BASIC's memory and watch every variable—numbers, strings, arrays, and FOR loops—decoded live from the raw five-byte floating-point format.

Video Graph

Program

A pixel-art UDG editor lets you draw on a 16×16 grid, assign regions to user-defined characters, and instantly POKE the results into memory.
