In the summer of 1988, my neighbors in the village threw out a broken calculator. I fixed it and started experimenting. I remembered how in one of the magazines I read about microcalculators independently did some hours-long calculations. It fascinated me, the fact that some devices can do complex calculations without human intervention. And I immediately tried to do the same with my calculator. Alas, I was disappointed. I had a simple model that did count only four arithmetic operations and operations with percentages. And in the examples in the magazine there were some much more complex devices. I began to figure out what microcalculators are needed for this and plunged into the world of programming. What determined my future fate :D In the fall of the same 1988, I got a job as a school lab technician and on my first salary, exactly 30 years ago, bought myself the first programmable gadget - the MK-61 micro calculator :)
15 floating point registers, RPN and command memory for 102 operations. Little? But it was a whole huge world. From mathematical tricks and complex integer calculations to a huge number of games for which I spent hundreds, maybe thousands of hours :)
The programs looked like this:
The gameplay looked something like this:
My notebook with the programs at the time looked like this (especially now I converted it into PDF and put it in my ZeroUp): https://www.zerogate.tk/1J8rt5k5QPLmAtRw5QAGmgKxi4qC7Lk166/data/users/1PniNzyi8fygvwyBaLpA9oBDVWZ5fXuJUw/1541076780-PMK.pdf
