Computer: VideoTON TV-Computer (TVC 64k+), Basic 2.2
Recommended emulator: WinTVC
My first program for the 2024 BASIC10Liner contest.
If you aren't familiar with the VideoTON TVC Computers, you are not alone. This computer built and sold mostly in Hungary, Europe. The category between the ZX-Spectrum or Amstrad CPC and between Enterprise 128 (lets say: the successor). 32, and 64k Memory, Z80 processor and 16 (hmm actually 15) color. It has four expansion slots, which makes it unique and quite expandable. You can find more information at www.tvc.hu, and you should use google translator i guess.
Program lines:
1 - Set graphics mode and draw the first picture, an LP. Wait until a keypress then continue drawing
2 - Make the background
3 - Make curves, ..
4-5 and the shapes of the objects: VHS, Audio Casette, Floppy disk
5-7 draws some white parts, and prints "NEVER"
8-10 - final pieces of the objects and "FORGET" text
10 - End effect and text after keypress

This emulator can emulate all of the TVC series, so you have to switch the configuration from TVC32K to TVC64K+ in this order: press ALT+K, this opens a window 'Gép konfiguráció' (system configuration), stay on the 'Standard konfiguráció' field and pop down the combobox. Select 'TVC 64K+ / BASIC2.2' - you will find this on the bottom, and click OK.
