 Many hours were spent programming and playing games on this wonderful machine. This series and cache pages are dedicated to what I remember fondly of the Commodore 64.
----
Commodore developed their BASIC under licence from Microsoft in 1977 for their systems. On Commodore systems BASIC is not only used as programming language, but also as operating system. BASIC is configured on a ROM chip.
The operating system (OS) of the Commodore 64 is CBM BASIC version 2, which has 38911 BASIC bytes (chars) free in its memory (RAM). In a wider sense, all C64 commands, which are inputted in the direct mode under BASIC, are BASIC-commands.
The BASIC-Interpreter reports READY. and the blinking cursor shows the user that the computer is ready for input. After a BASIC command is typed in correctly, the command will be executed; otherwise an error-message will be reported, followed by READY..
10 I = 1
20 PRINT "TEST NR.";I
30 I = I + 1
40 IF I<=10 GOTO 20

In order to complete this wherigo you must download and play the cartridge on a compatible device running the wherigo application. Download the cartridge here, or use the RELATED WEB PAGE link above and then install it on your GPS or smartphone. You will have to run the cartridge for each geocache within this series.
When you run the cartridge, you will be asked for three codes, which you will find on each individual geocache listing. Enter these codes into the cartridge in the order shown here. Once the codes are entered properly, you will be presented the coordinates to the geocache which will be shown as a zone named Final and a zone description showing the actual coordinates.
Use the following codes in this exact order:
1. 3173346
2. 4512030
3. 2209190
Note: This is not a power trail. Final hides are in various locations and will vary in size. Check each cache listing for size and attributes.
All caches have been placed on public property. Most are park and grabs, but there are some that you will need to get out of your car and walk a bit. You as a responsible geocacher must observe and follow all laws. If you park illegally, or trespass, you and only you are responsible for the consequences. |
