Your comment reminded me of a game (maybe the only one) I wrote in middle school, on a TRS-80 Color Computer (I think 4K, although maybe I had the 16K upgrade by the time I wrote the game). I wrote it in basic & saved it on some cassette tape... random blocks of one color on the screen, and you are a block that starts at the bottom and you use arrow keys to avoid the blocks as you are thrust upward. (I guess it was basic in more ways than one). I might have added a 3rd color block that gave you points if you hit those.
I wonder if I could even write it now - even at low resolution? My limited scripting is now systems-oriented, the tiny bit of UI stuff takes me forever & I find HTML & JS way more complex than basic ever was. (Don't misunderstand, I think my python scripts that interact with various AWS services, postgres, etc are just fine and don't take me long to write or maintain, its just the whole graphics world I never latched onto...)
