Hi there,

I found this seasonal piece of BASIC V programming my brother put together in 1997. It draws a snowman, then allows you to change the amount of snow which falls, from a few flakes to a blizzard.

You can find it on my website - www.sassquad.com/riscos

I was quite impressed with the fact it doesnt do any screen swapping, I think it adds to the effect of the snowflakes.

Enjoy big smile

Glad you liked it smile My brother did loads of stuff during the 80s and 90s, hopefully it can find a bigger audience during 2013.

Oh no shock

Mind you, the code was written in 1997, most likely on a Risc PC, any idea of line number or whether it displays anything on your screen?

Only other possibility was some amends I made to it, to perhaps make it work on RISC OS Pi.
