RE:
"..and I am still uncertain as to why the odd spacing of the lines...
...What is the advantage of Action! over BASIC, Pascal or C?..."
Spaces are ignored in ACTION! except as separators. I don't remember the
article, but sometimes these programs are scrunched to fit the magazine's
column width.
ACTION! is a compiled language designed for the Atari. It is much faster
than BASIC and probably faster than about any language other than assembler.
It also comes with a screen editor.
ACTION! has been out for a few years. Anyone who is a regular reader of
either ANTIC or ANALOG has heard of it. One of them ran a short tutorial
series on it a while back. I just wish there were more ACTION! programs
in the magazines.
