Do you know any program that only use one or two lines of BASIC code?
There was some sample programs and a old contest for this type of program.

It's easy, isn't it?

10 goto 20
20 goto 10

or even shorter (result remains the same (nihil)):

10 goto 10

But I guess this isn't what you're looking for...
I think you probably aiming at the one-liner compo like thing in for example MCCM. Although it was called 'Kort & Krachtig' there. It meant as much as this: you could send in your program (be it coded in ASM, BASIC, PASCAL, C, ...) and the recensor wrote a nice quote for it.

But if this isn't what you're trying to say, please explain yourself more closely...

Ok
10 goto 20
20 goto 10
Run
[10][20][10][20][10][20][10][20][10][20]
[10][20][10][20][10][20][10][20][10][20]
[10][20][10][20][10][20][10][20][10][20]
[10][20][10][20][10][20][10][20][10][20]
Break in 20
Ok

I think that it's it.
There was the same thing over here.

Do you have something good?
I still have some of my old things.

Some examples.

I think there was a 'oneliner' in the MRC Snowfall Challenge as well. I think it used one line of normal BASIC to achieve a snowfall efftect. Check the downloads database. Also the Dutch MSX magazine MCM had a lot of oneliners in the earlier editions. Perhaps somesone could send you a few, unfortunately I don't have any...

I remember about the oneliner in the Snowfall challenge.
A working e-mail would help a lot!

Anyway, I kinda forgot my point now ... just don't be offended that easily, and as I said before USE AN ABUNDANT AMOUNT OF SMILEYS!! even when you mean something

How do you use smiles on MSX Resource Center Foundation?

I was trying to use some of them.

: ) ; ) : D etc. without spaces ...

There are some collection of two-liners out there. I think that Ricardo Bittencourt has his own collection on-line. And you could find some others at Marat Fayzullin's home page.

Here are some examples of small BASIC codes, that I've done:

FEELINGS.BAS (Saturday morning feelings description in 256 colors) :

10 SCREEN8,3:VDP(6)=1:VDP(2)=3:FORI=0TO300:I=IAND255:CIRCLE(8,8),IAND7,I:COPY(0,0)-(255,15)TO(16,0),,XOR:CIRCLE(248,24),IAND7,255-I:COPY(255,16)-(15,31)TO(240,16),,XOR:VDP(24)=(SIN(I/12)*100+I)AND255:PUTSPRITEIAND31,(RND(5)*240,RND(4)*255),IAND15,4:NEXTI

NONELINE.BAS (Something weird moving on screen)

10 SCREEN8,2:VDP(2)=0:VDP(6)=0:FORI=0TO300:I=IAND255:K=(K+1)AND255:R=SIN(I/7)*128+128:LINE(0,0)-(15,3),R:COPY(254,0)-(0,3)TO(255,0):LINE(255,4)-(240,7),R:COPY(1,4)-STEP(255,3)TO(0,4):PUTSPRITEIAND31,(R*.93,COS(I/20)*240),IAND15:VDP(24)=-I*9AND255:NEXTI

DORKA2.BAS (Second version of Dorkanoid, that is a Arcanoid clone)

1 O=1:P=1:K=4:CLS:FORI=0TO0:S=STICK(0):X=X+(S=7)-(S=3):X=X-(X<0)+(X>11):Y=X*2+2:K=K+O:O=O+O*(K>30ORK<4)*2:L=L+P:P=P+P*(L>7ORL<1)*2:LOCATEK,L:PRINT"o":LOCATEA,B:PRINT" ":A=K:B=L:I=L<8ORY<KANDY+6>K:LOCATEY,9:PRINT"  ---  ":H=H-(L=0):PRINT"Score:";H:NEXT

Cool !

That doesn't count, wolf_. The '?' will be extended to 'PRINT' nonetheless... I also recall a quote in MCCM which said that oneliners contained such statements shouldn't be considered true oneliners.
True, you can type them in 1 single line (<= 255 characters), but when you list it again, the compressed stuff like '?' will be expanded to 'PRINT', the line will overflow, and it isn't valid BASIC anymore. A thing which actually does the trick is " ' " instead of " REM ", because that statement won't be expanded. But I guess you don't use such statements in your proud oneliner...

Oh, and what you could do, is change the '1' into '0' (the first line number becoming 0). Don't use ON ERROR GOTO 0 then ^^;. This will save you ~some~ memory (about 1 byte, I guess). Please take note of the fact that your program will be executed faster as well
