      Did you ever get a magazine like Enter where they had fairly lengthy BASIC programs in the back for you to copy down line by line?

        Oh boy. I’ll never forget the amount of fun I had copying them by hand as a 12 year old.

        There was one with coordinates to a wireframe of a sports car and drawing it on screen. What blew my mind was the next section where we perform trigonometry magic to rotate the whole thing in 3D space with arrow keys.
