And U? 1*6 does not seem to make too much sense (why would one want to have one dimension of length 1)? >1100 U = -1 What does this mean? >1320 U = U + 1: And this? What does the colon on the end of the line mean? As with Zach's code - seems hardly easier to read than disassembly. Does anybody remember the IOCCC entry a couple of years ago, that was a Basic interpreter in (IRCC) 25 lines of C code. It could play "lunar lander" (the first computer game, I have met in my live - IRCC). WOuld that Basic interpreter run this code? Cheers, Dieter
