OH MY SWEET HEART
That is the first thing I ever did on a computer, but the output was to a printer, and each round had to be printed out.
I was in high school in Dallas, 1977, and they had the printer and a phone connection to the mainframe at the Dallas Public Library.
Eventually taught myself Basic and Machine Language programming.
Seriously, BASIC is one of my favorite languages!
It’s very english-like and works pretty much the way you want,
I would say Rexx, but then you get into comparisons with clists, etc.
