but end of the day an interrupt is just a sort of uhhmmmmm imagine if you could write "10 times a second, do a GOTO to this routine, to play a bit more of my SID tune in the background" this is the kind of purpose of an interrupt

mirrorbird (10:48:06)
yeah interrupts are a way to do something like it. at hardware level.

Rapture (10:47:57)
well it's more "software, wait! i wanna see if a hardware thing was used by a user". huuh. I'm no coder

isn't interrupts also kind of multitastking? interrupt interrupts your basic program to see if a key is pressed, or to make cursor blink or to see other stuff

op=operation

Rapture (10:46:07)
yes one command after another. BASICally it's multitasking. slow but yeah

mirrorbird (10:46:00)
an opcode is like a single instruction or command. like PRINT or GOTO in basic. they are a bit more "raw" but it's the same kind of idea, an opcode is a command. it's what the CPU (chip) supports

Rapture (10:45:45)
yep round robin
