How in the hell was this game ever converted to BASIC? I'm impressed still but, how in the world?

Has anyone attempted to convert between fortran and zx81 BASIC? I want to try but...it's so surreal :shock:

Just use my FORTRAN program that converts programs to Dartmouth BASIC ... oops, I just dropped all the paper punchcards. Oh well. Thank goodness that the Microsoft Basic programmers have tools for this

I can't even imagine how it works
