It is a program for the production of a collaborative text that, as the author puts it, "simulates an intimate relationship between two people." It also implements an extremely limited art(ificial) intelligence that the artist refers to as "a Jesse Helms filter" for removing potentially offensive language. (RPGs were beginning to emerge out of the war gaming tradition at this time, and the most famous of these- Dungeons & Dragons-made a 20-sided die of the same shape as HtW's cave network central to its game mechanics.) The other program included, You!, is from much later in the era of Basic creativity. It was one of several early programs with an underground network of caves, recalling the environment of non-digital role-playing games (RPGs) and anticipating Adventure, which would become the first example of interactive fiction a few years later. Its virtual environment was laid out in a complex way, a change from earlier gridlike worlds. Otherwise the oil seeps out and smears the output.") The first program here, Hunt the Wumpus, was initially published as listing in Creative Computing in 1975 after being distributed by other means.

(The Creative Computing guidelines for game submissions reveal that even getting works to press was a difficult undertaking: "If possible, submit a paper tape of the program. Dobb's Journal of Computer Calisthenics and Orthodontia so that readers could type them in on their own machines. At a time when the distribution of digital objects was prohibitively difficult, Basic programs were printed in magazines such as Creative Computing and Dr. Before the Web and even before HyperCard, Basic programs provided the first broad evidence that programming work in new media could be done by non-experts. Seymour Papert, in a section of Mindstorms included in the NMR book (28), argued that a close look "at Basic provides a window on how a conservative social system appropriates and tries to neutralize a potentially revolutionary instrument." Basic nevertheless provided the lattice for a creative flowering among new programmers. Some praised Basic's empowering potential others felt it represented a wrong turn in the development of digital literacy. A generation of hobbyists and computer-oriented children (the editors of this volume included) undertook their first programming projects in Basic.
The combination spelled success for this language during the home computer era. It was designed to be easy to learn Basic was also easy to implement on even underpowered computers. (Look at a dodecahedron to see how this works-if you don't know what a dodecahedron is, ask someone.)īasic (Beginner's All-Purpose Symbolic Instruction Code) was developed at Dartmouth by John Kemeny and Thomas Kurtz, beginning in 1963.

Largely due to the novelty of the voice effects in the movie (which was a musical, so plenty of opportunity for adorable singing), it was well-received as a children's movie and the makers went on to. Alvin and the Chipmunks was originally created as a novelty music group, with each chipmunk given a distinct personality and child-like voice.
