Re: Please help me build an Apple IIGS for my son



That's the problem.

At least in Applesoft Basic, all the graphics are just GR and HGR
away. For TML Pascal II, all you need to do is a Graphics(320) or
Graphics(640), and you can immediately use all the QuickDraw command
like LineTo, MoveTo, and I can draw very beautifu diagrams for my son
with just a few lines of code. I can't find any other environment -
unless it is too domain specified like LOGO or HyperCard, to do the
same thing.

Right now, I set up a complete IIGS environment, running full screen
using Sweet16 on a Mac Mini, and he does not have to know there is a
Mac OS X running below it.
