I always loved APL when I was a student around 1980, I had access to the little IBM "transportable" that supported APL and Basic, I think it was the 5100 or 5110. I remember writing a little table tennis game in APL, which was likely unreadable to me a day later.

Sounds silly, but do you have the source code for your table tennis game? If not, do you remember the logic you used? Was it using Graphpak? I am curious as to how one would write a table tennis game without any conditionals.

  • APL can branch on conditional to a specific line or label, or fall through to the next line.
