HackFest 2011

Posted by Peter Neubauer on 31 July 2011, 6:29 pm

KansasFest 2011 is over, and it was awesome.  My HackFest theme this year was “learn new stuff.”  I used an enhanced Apple IIe that I didn’t own until the first day of KansasFest.  I used an RC System’s DoubleTalk speech synthesizer for the first time.  I used and learned Terrapin Logo 1.0 for the first time, and I booted Logo from original disks that I’d never before used.  My entry won second place.

My HackFest entry is a simple demonstration program written with Terrapin Logo and using the DoubleTalk card.  Slide your DoubleTalk into slot 4 and boot your copy of Terrapin Logo (older DOS 3.3 version required).  Make sure your caps-lock is on if your computer has one, insert my disk (download it here), and then type:

READ "HACK2011
HACK2011

Here’s what you’ll see.  Regrettably, I wasn’t able to capture the speech, so you ought to plug in your real IIe for the original experience.
