just got finished reading the FORTRAN source for Colossal cave

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
