Yesterday I guided Bing through some GotoJSE coding.
Much like how ChatGPT figured it out, Bing took to it like a duck to water.

-=-=-

A couple of UI quibbles.
1. You can't post multi-line requests, so a chunk of code gets somewhat messy when you try to post it, all being squished into a single giant line of code.
2. The output doesn't have a "Copy the code box's contents" option like ChatGPT has. The entire chat bubble has a copy button, though, so you have to copy the bubble, then clean up the mess afterwards.



Anyway, we started with this..

Graphics 512,512,1
Repeat
CLS
x=256+Sin(Mills()*0.2)*200
y=256-Cos(Mills()*0.2)*200
Line 256,256,x,y
Flip
Forever

A simple enough example that shows variables, sin/cos/mills, a basic loop, that you need CLS and Flip, and then a line being drawn.

Without any request for code, Bing immediately jumped into action and provided me with this.

Graphics 512,512,1
 Radius=200
 Repeat
   CLS
   Circle 256,256,Radius
   x=256+Sin(Mills()*0.2)*Radius
   y=256-Cos(Mills()*0.2)*Radius
   Circle x,y,10
   Flip
 Forever

Which replaces the lines with circles, even though I didn't tell it that we had the ability to draw circles.

I then guided Bing through a few ideas, like "What if it's a solar system, colour it in", and "How about more planets" and "why not use arrays", and things like that.
After about 20 or so back'n'forths, we eventually arrived at the following.

Graphics 800,600,1
 DIM orb(10,40) //changed from 10,30 to 10,40
 dstnce=50
 For planet=0 To 7
   orb(planet,0)=Rnd(3,20) //size
   orb(planet,1)=Rnd(0.01,0.08) //speed
   orb(planet,2)=Rnd(0,255) //red
   orb(planet,3)=Rnd(0,255) //green
   orb(planet,4)=Rnd(0,255) //blue
   dstnce=dstnce+Rnd(10,50) //distance
   orb(planet,5)=dstnce
   orb(planet,6)=Rnd(0,5) //number of moons
   For moon=0 To orb(planet,6)-1
     orb(planet,7+moon*5)=Rnd(1,5) //moon size
     orb(planet,8+moon*5)=Rnd(0.01,0.08) //moon speed
     orb(planet,9+moon*5)=Rnd(0,255) //moon red
     orb(planet,10+moon*5)=Rnd(0,255) //moon green
     orb(planet,11+moon*5)=Rnd(0,255) //moon blue
     orb(planet,12+moon*5)=Rnd(1,3) //moon distance
   Next
 Next
 Repeat
   CLS
   SetColor(255,255,0)
   Circle 400,300,50
   For planet=0 To 7
     SetColor(orb(planet,2),orb(planet,3),orb(planet,4))
     size=orb(planet,0)
     speed=orb(planet,1)
     x=400+Sin(Mills()*speed)*orb(planet,5)
     y=300-Cos(Mills()*speed)*orb(planet,5)
     Circle x,y,size
     For moon=0 To orb(planet,6)-1
       SetColor(orb(planet,9+moon*5),orb(planet,10+moon*5),orb(planet,11+moon*5))
       moon_size=orb(planet,7+moon*5)
       moon_speed=orb(planet,8+moon*5)
       moon_distance=orb(planet,12+moon*5)
       moon_x=x+Sin(Mills()*moon_speed)*size*moon_distance
       moon_y=y-Cos(Mills()*moon_speed)*size*moon_distance
       Circle moon_x,moon_y,moon_size
     Next
   Next
   Flip
 Forever

A simple enough looking planetary system with a sun, multiple planets, and multiple moons, all spinning around and looking nice and swirly!

It's really quite amazing how well it coped, especially considering it didn't know the language from the get-go.
Amazingly powerful, and we're still only at the start of this journey.

I'm going to be out of a non-existent job, much sooner than I thought!!
