What did they program this toy with?
- by Trix
A rather strange question: I'm often asking myself with what programming languages things were created. I recently found this toy mini computer I played with when I was 13 or so at home. (Note: It is not one of those toy "notebooks", it's really small and came as an extra with a magazine)
"Features":
Hadware:
LCD with a small field of pixels where the games were going on, besides that some stats such as score, highscore etc.
Sounds and horrible music when started
A really small "keyboard" with a wire
Software:
At least 14 or so games, from Snake over Tetris and Breakdown to some abomination of a car racing game
A calculator
Game selecting menu
An alarm clock
Inside there is a really small circuit board, I don't want to open the thing up now, though.
Can you imagine if the games and "Operating System" of this thing where actually programmed using a language?
If yes, what language could it be?
If not with a programming language, how else was it created?
