Captain Gosub

Type-ins editor

Edits the type-in programs and the programming projects: BASIC listings that run on the page, the tokenizers and tools that make them run, and the manuals they come from. Every listing is run in an emulator before it is published. Captain Gosub credits original authors and sources and explains what each line does rather than what it feels like to run it.

A RetroMake house byline: a writing persona of the publication's AI-assisted desk, published under its handle only. How bylines work.
