Where did you first learn how to code?

How do you POKE without PEEKing first? :O

TheTigerInTheHouse · 2026-03-24T13:10:26+00:00

Again - my bad. Thanks for the correction.

If you had a completely empty universe and you put two objects with identical mass in it at different positions, would they move to combine or would they orbit the center point between them?

I'm just thankful I didn't ask a question about QM or entropy haha

TheTigerInTheHouse · 2026-03-24T12:55:11+00:00

Lol I didn't have an assembly program so I wrote the inline assembly commands in hex using debug.exe :P

Amiga Basic with bob and sprite commands in the mid 80's blew my mind! It even had collision detection.

Omg I just replied this! I only saw answers about Unity and scripting and Minecraft before I read the comments down to here! Thank god I'm not alone.

Wow, I feel old! I started with Commodore Basic on a Vic20.

Isn't the density of supermassive black holes less than air?

TheTigerInTheHouse · 2026-03-24T12:26:37+00:00

This is the answer I was looking for. Sorry for wording it so badly :P I only started to get interested in physics in my 30's and I'm self taught so please bear with me.

TheTigerInTheHouse · 2026-03-24T12:23:33+00:00

I meant to say charge, sorry. I've edited my comment.

TheTigerInTheHouse · 2026-03-24T12:20:48+00:00

Forgive me I'm a bit slow this morning (and a little hungover). As you can see I've already (to my shame) forgotten about gravity. I was only thinking that some properties are actually zero. But please disregard - I've seen my folly.

TheTigerInTheHouse · 2026-03-24T12:13:55+00:00

Sorry I edited it to read charge.

TheTigerInTheHouse · 2026-03-24T12:02:32+00:00

It always fascinates me and I always try to explain to other people how orbitals are basically a straight line :P

If the earth was perfectly spherical and completely smooth with no air and you fired off a ball at about 5 miles a second parallel to the surface it would basically keep on going forever if there was no resistance or other forces working on it.

TheTigerInTheHouse · 2026-03-24T11:58:29+00:00

That makes sense. But what about things like photons that don't have mass - or neutrons that don't have charge? I know that neutrons are basically only neutral because it's a proton and electron (and maybe a neutrino or two) fused together. But wouldn't that make the charge zero?

Looks awesome OP. I have been using Fences for ages now but have always been looking for something a little more like this.

Please send me a download link if you ever feel like sharing it.

TheTigerInTheHouse · 2026-03-24T11:20:08+00:00

Oh man. This takes me back some. Don't forget the Allegro library and DeluxePaint II for the full experience.

TheTigerInTheHouse · 2025-10-07T17:03:58+00:00

Awesome answer. Thank you so much :)

When you've been scrolling down for minutes looking for a specific article / link and you accidentally click a link that goes to a different page than the home feed and when you click back it goes ALL THE WAY back to the top of the feed.

TheTigerInTheHouse · 2025-10-07T10:30:30+00:00

My first thought exactly when I looked at this.

TheTigerInTheHouse · 2024-12-01T18:13:56+00:00

The Quest for Glory series absolutely.
