Ghostbusters Logo scanned by the GCCC
13Another great example of what can be done in BASIC on the Color Computer, this is the Ghostbusters logo, done using only DRAW, CIRCLE, and PAINT commands, and it's quite impressive! It was submitted to be by John Mark Mobley of the Genside Color Computer Club, the folks who bring us CoCoFEST! each year, and there's an interesting story to how it ended up back on the CoCo.
The source code was in a magazine (80 micro I believe), and a scanned copy of that magazine was put through OCR (optical character recognition) to convert them back to text. The text then needed to be corrected for mistakes in the OCR, but, the program was ultimately restored to it's electronic form, and we're looking at it now on the CoCo!
Enjoy the Ghostbusters Logo, and thanks GCCC!
