I've recently finished reading What The Doormouse Said, and I was fascinated by the story of the People's Computer Company publishing the specification for a subset of the BASIC programming language, inviting programmers to write their own unique implementations for their machines.

This motivated me to take a deep dive into BASIC programming, and what better way to really grasp a language than write my own implementation in Uxntal.

Ever wondered how BASIC programs are stored in memory?

Here's the anatomy of a line:

- address of the next line
- line id
- statement opcode
- body of the line
- null char

Follow

@neauoire I guess the lines are stored in a linked list?
