Start at n. poke in rnd(256). n++. Poke. Repeat till crash.
The crash is often pretty. Some nice glitch.
One was black screen with a fuzzy horizontal band of color near the top of the screen. Red, green, whatever. Sometimes 2 bands with 2 colors.
Another was a screen full of random characters. Glitched sprites. Stuff all buzzing blinking twitching.
Anybody else do this?
Pretty sure all my assembler attempts on the C64 back in the day were basically that
Fortunately this never happened to me as a kid. I was thrilled when found one of the addresses for controlling a sprite.
I was always fearful of breaking an expensive fat monitor.

Wasn't that even in the printed handbook?
5 a=54272:b=26
10 poke a+int(rnd(1)*b), int(rnd(1)*256):goto10
Also change a and b to make random graphics!
