- BASIC programs are stored in memory using a simple structure that we can investigate and manipulate. This article will show how they are stored and contains a BASIC program to go through each line of its own code and display how it is stored in memory. A good understanding of how BASIC is stored can help us to find novel ways to get the most out of BASIC and to leverage the power of the BASIC interpreter. This can be seen in a previous article: Storing Machine Code in REM Statements on the VIC-20.
- Ladder Creek Falls (waterfallsnorthwest.com)
Ladder Creek has cut itself a fairly impressive slot canyon which harbors a very pretty three-tiered waterfall. While the falls are easily visible from the rim of the gorge, all tiers of the falls are obscured in some way or another - some more than others - by the twisting walls of the chasm. The upper and middle tiers drop 34 and 28 feet in back-to-back fashion, but both are highly obstructed by the shape of the canyon. The 46-foot lower tier is the most visible of the set but can be partially obstructed unless viewing it in a very specific area (near a large tree right next to the stairs).
