Cards / Flash | Classic retro game for the Commodore PET Computer (1978)

CARDS, the companion program to FLASH, is a data-entry tool for creating flashcard data files. Even if the original flashcard program was intact, I'm still not sure that I would have bothered spending much time with this one. Like a lot of these early BASIC programs, the UX feels clumsy, although it does provide ways for the user to review work-in-progress and go back to make corrections. Of course, upon reaching the end of the process, the message PRESS PLAY & RECORD ON TAPE #1 makes clear that this program is not designed to work with a disk image.
