→Are those chimes?
==Are those chimes?==
Last month it was telephone tones. This month ·s 's sound idea hi.ts has to do witha routine that emuL.1tes emuates chimes. Thiscomes from the NET 99er group inHurst. Texi.tS, Texas. It will run in BASIC orExtend<-•d Extended BASIC. , they say. ''100- (Progrnm Program Lines)200-GOSl 'B GOSUB 1000210- (More Program Lines)
1000-RESTORE 1080
1010-READ TONE
1030-FOR NOTE = -5 TO 30 STEP 5
1040-VOLllME = ABS (NOTE)
1050-CALL SOUND (-99. ,TONE. VOLl1ME. ,VOLUME, TONE*2. , VOLUME. ,TONE*3.VOLlTMEVOLUME)
1060-NEXT NOTE
1070-GOTO 1010
1080-DATA 2000.,2200.,2420.,2000.,991090-RETURN''
Let the bells ring.
==Forward and back== Those with Extended BASIC cansave time in their programmingchores by scrolling forward andbackwL1rdbackward. It's simply a matter of hittingthe Function REDO key. You maystart your scrolling anywhere you ·ct'd like by NUM and the line number.Then hit the Function function REDO key to getthings started .. Now. , if you want toscroll backwards. , just press the "E"(up arrow) key. If you'd like to go inthe other direction. , press the "X"(down arrow) key. You can move forwardand backward through the entireprogram if you'd like. This can be veryuseful when debugging a program. ==No more quit==
