Program the on-screen dancer with different moves with it's mini procedureal command set then use the E command to see Pak Jana execute his dance. Originally written over 20 years ago for the Commodore PET I modified it for use on the Commodore 64 - the POKEs used to scroll the figure up and down have been adjusted for the 64 and Screen color changes added - otherwise the rest is unchanged. Instructions are in the program listing just LIST 0-170. This is a good tool to see how to make rudimentary procedural applications or to explore BASIC controlled character animation. Trivia - This program was inspired by a famous dancer at the time, but the name escapes me.
