print_char_one_liner

Re-creation of a famous one-liner program in BASIC for the Commodore 64:

10 PRINT CHR$(205.5+RND(1)); : GOTO 10

This program has output only in the console / terminal. You will need to run on your own machine to see output.

This sketch illustrates the use of randomness to generate visual richness.

In each drawing cycle, a sine-shaped area is plotted (as a set of lines), with random magnitude, period and colour.
