For some reason, the programmers at Atari who decided upon the character set for the ST made four characters (codes 28 through 31) that, when used together, draw the face of a man on the screen. This smiling, pipe-smoking man is, I believe, a classic figure that pokes fun at the "organization family man" of the 1950s; his name is Bob, and he is the object of a humorous cult, "the Church of the Sub-Genius." The following program prints Bob's full face in random locations on the screen:
10 FULLW 2: CLEARW 2: GOTOXY 3,0
20 PRINT "Attack of the killer Bobs!"
30 FOR D=1 TO 900: NEXT: CLEARW 2
40 X=INT(RND*17)*2: Y=INT(RND*9)*2
GOTOXY X,Y 60 PRINT CHR$(28)+CHR$(29);
70 GOTOXY X,Y+1
80 PRINT CHR$(30)+CHR$(31);
90 GOTO 40
