This program works well in Vice.
Did you load the prg-file?
If not:
You can not poke the program with a basic program reading data in a loop, because you then overwrite your basic program at adress 2049.
Remember that the first two bytes are not part of the program, but part of the program file: 01 08 is the start address $0801(=2049) where the program is loaded.
What you can do: You can poke each byte with a seperate poke command, no basic lines involved.
Or you can write the bytes with a basic program into a program file.
Vice has a monitor (Alt+H), verify that the bytes are correct loaded! use d 0801 for dumping the start of the program, and d again to show the next bytes.
Kind regards,
kamikaze

A program that writes the bytes to a file "a-mind-is-born" on a disk.
Can be copied and pasted in Vice.
Remember to create and attach a disk image for drive #8 first.
This program works also on a real C64 with a disk drive.

100 open1,8,1,"a-mind-is-born"
110 print#1,chr$(1);chr$(8);
120 for i=1to254:printi;
130 read a$:print a$;
140 h=asc(left$(a$,1))-asc("0"):ifh>9thenh=h-7
150 l=asc(right$(a$,1))-asc("0"):ifl>9thenl=l-7
160 print h*16+l
170 print#1,chr$(h*16+l);
180 next i
190 close 1
200 end

I am truly in awe and want to thank Linus Åkesson for this exceptional piece of art!

What is the game in 1984 after Ghostbusters please? It totally looks like second level (prison) of Another World that came year later.

I've added the list of games now, by popular demand. I think you're referring to Impossible Mission.

Surprised by the beauty of this. I was expecting a discourse, possibly dry and lengthy and got something entirely different, something gorgeous and wonderful. Thank you for the work that went into this and for the moment to bond with a stranger in this way about a machine that has been a part of my life for so long.
