Cool competition.
Programming in BASIC on 8-bit computers still appeals to many people. If you then put it all into a contest format and make sure the programming projects are manageable, we see what we saw last year. It’s surprising that we keep seeing new, creative approaches. You’d think that after more than 500 10Liners in 10 years, there would be no ideas for new 10Liners. The programmers teach us better.
