From BorielWiki

Examples

Tutorials and examples are the fastest way (in my opinion) to learn a new language. Well, ZX BASIC is not so new if you are used to Sinclair BASIC. The following is a list of examples, some of them already bundled with the ZX BASIC distribution in the examples/ directory:

• CIRCLE.BAS

Draws a circle pixel by pixel using PLOT primitive

• CLOCK.BAS

Sample clock which uses the FRAMES variable (taken from the ZX Spectrum 48K user manual)

• CLOCK2.BAS

Like above, but a bit improved.

• COLORS.BAS

Colors example from the ZX Spectrum user manual

• LINES.BAS

Random color lines example from the ZX Spectrum 48K user manual.

• FACT.BAS

Factorial recursive test.

• FREREGUSTAV.BAS

A sound demo (taken from the ZX Spectrum 48K user manual)

• FLAG.BAS
