How do I get amigabasic to develop different random numbers everytime
I run a program?
Is there a Activisions game maker for the amiga?
I might buy diga view gold for the 500. Can a use a color video
camera with it? How much would it cost for everything needed for
it to work?
How is C better than basic besides it being compatible?
On a advertisement for HiSoft Basic it says "There is also an option
to produce completely stand-alone programs which include only as
much of the libary as they need" and "Compiled programs are share
the same library". Does this mean I can include the libraries on
the same file as the program? It also says it is compatible with
ST basic. Can I run all the programs I make on the ST or do I need
HiSoft Basic for the ST????

Doens't the statement
RANDOMIZE TIMER at the beginning do it? I always use it.
C is a modern computer language for structured and object-oriented
programming, i.e., it can be used to practice modern standard
practices. However, it is also tolerant of poor programming style, so
an education in modern style is necessary, not just the compiler
reference manual, but a good teacher. Buggy software that
crashes the system is easy to write in C. C is very popular among
academics and professionals, usually on unix operating systems.
It can cost $200 to $500 to enter a Amiga C setup. Compilation can be
trying without a harddrive, on the Amiga.
It is true however, that the Amiga doc set uses C examples and formats
and library listing (as well as assembler).
Does anyone have an estimate of how long it takes a 13-year old
to learn good style C?
I don't know C, I'm talking through my hat, but I admit it.
