Based on a TRS-80 BASIC program by Melkior Wiseman.
UPDATE:
Melkior got a hold of me to mention about his program "the idea wasn't originally mine. I just adapted someone else's idea. I have no knowledge of whose idea it was, though, because the program did not have a programmer's name in it."
Although we do not have the code adapted by Melkior, and we don't have the name of that code's author, this BAM program demonstrates the fun of programming: how tall we stand as we stand on the shoulders of who knows how many people! So cool.
So we give attributions to the folk we know of, remembering the attributions implicitly include however many generations of anonymous other individuals who have contributed to the heights we reach today. Even with the simplest of BASIC programs which are still a blast.
The original TRS-80 program is listed in comments below the BAM program.
