One of my Favorite Demos: Bit Bucket

[Thomas Kotowski]

Do any of you have a working version of this disk program. A copy is located at
https://archive.org/details/apple_ii_library_compilations?page=12
and the disk name is: cple Animals - Animations - Biorhythm - Bit Bucket - Echo - 6502 Simulator - Sleepy Time - Star Wars
The version of Bit Bucket in this dsk does not work. Thanks for the help.

The file is:

The equivalent on Asimov also has a corrupted file:


https://www.apple.asimov.net/images/games/file_based/animals_animations_biorhythm_bitbucket_echo_6502simulator_sleepytime_starwars.dsk

31 IF SCRN(X,0)#0 THEN 30
32928 ,(, STEP STEP , NEXT NEXT STEP NEXT ABS SGN ABS U END V ABS
W PDL
45 A= PEEK (-16336)+ PEEK (-16336)

Looking at the MDC output for my Asimov mirror (there's a copy on
https://faddensoftware.com/), it appears in five disk images. One of
them is 1157 bytes rather than 585. A quick look at it suggests the
program is the same but has had a title screen added. I tried it and it
works.

The file is on this disk:


https://www.apple.asimov.net/images/misc/3d0g_knight_collection/080b%20-%20MicroTyping%20Tutor%20Demos.dsk

The disk isn't bootable, so boot up something with Integer BASIC on it
(e.g. the System Master) and run it from there.

Thanks for looking into this. The "Bit Bucket" program from asimov does not crash, but the output to the screen is a jumbled mess. There was probably an original disk which got compiled along with others into one disk. Thanks again for the assistance. Tom K.
