TI-Planet contest: Dragon Ball Z treasure hunturl

critor

In the Dragon Ball Z anime, C-16 is a cyborg created by Dr. Gero for the Red Ribbon Army.

It is damaged in an attempt to protect cyborgs C-17 and C-18 against Cell, and is repaired by Bulma and her father at the Capsule Corporation in order to participate in the tournament organized by Cell.



In episode 168 of Dragon Ball Z, while attempting to repair it Bulma manages to dump some part of the source code of the cyborg C-16 on her computer.
We briefly see two code segments, and we note that this is Basic code, Basic being a very common language in the 70s and 80s which was preinstalled on many 8-bits and 16-bits computers.

Here is a small part of the episode with:

• a first code segment visible between 0min11s and 0min20s
• a second code segment visible between 0min32s and 0min39s

	2nd crystal ball question: This 1st Basic code segment is actually taken from a much larger project. What could it be? (multiple answers possible)
	3rd crystal ball question: This 1st code segment is actually incomplete and the end is missing. Without changing the already copied lines, develop and add a coherent end for the code and add it to your text file. (multiple answers possible)

Give the exact name of the Basic language used here in the 2nd code segment.

(multiple answers are possible)

(the choice of monochrome or low definition screens is not penalized - only correct/complete adaptation of the code within the chosen constraints is taken into accound) Ignoring the part you had to complete, what does this 2nd code segment perform? You'll send: the name and version of the chosen hardware, emulator or software in a text file, the used source code, adapted if necessary for the chosen hardware, emulator or software a file directly usable with the chosen hardware, emulator or software in a text file, your description of what the program does perform (you have the right to attach fixed or animated images if some things are hard to describe)
