Very simple Chipmunk Basic examples
These programs are of 1996 or 1997 vintage. They’re more like tests or simple demos than actual programs. I doubt they are very useful but here they are nevertheless.
For more Chipmunk Basic goodies look at my main Chipmunk Basic page or my cb-shpdraw page.
Draw with the arrows. The cursor starts out wherever the mouse is when you first press an arrow button.
What is it supposed to do? I don’t know. An artificial intelligence painter? OK. It draws random pixels and beeps a lot and has no clear exit strategy.

Pistol-packing fun that leaves silly artifacts all over the window because it doesn’t erase everything it draws. Move the mouse around and click to make red dots. Cutting edge.

I believe this was supposed to be like Space Invaders. It falls a little short.
Move a spider around with your numeric keypad. Very simple.
Only a program as cool as Chipmunk Basic would have a built-in spider icon (sprite #135). Why not?
Click in a tiny window to paint single pixels at a time. I can think of more entertaining things to do.
