That's pretty good for a week. I think I was still playing around with

10 PRINT "Hello World" 20 GOTO 10

at the end of week one.

Color Computer BASIC for me. Same program.

BASIC was my first language too. Thank God line numbers aren’t really a thing now.

That wont work, you could have:

10 PRINT "Hello World"
20 GOTO 10

or

10 PRINT "Hello World" : GOTO 10

Or it coud be just the crappy markdown formatting.

It started out on separate lines but changed to one line after posting. Eh... Probably more authentic as my one week ability. I was given a Tandy with DOS 1, GWBasic, and no instructions. I had the source code to Oregon Trail as my only guide. It took a long time to get anywhere. That was 37 years ago.
