29.02.2024 - What's a Leap Year? Calculating on Commodore 64 - video from '8-Bit Show And Tell'
2024 is a leap year, and February 29th is Leap Day! Can we calculate leap years on a Commodore 64 in BASIC and 6502 Assembly Language? Of course we can. We also learn about why we have leap years, Julian and Gregorian calendars, question if it's Simon's or Simons' BASIC, figure out binary long division, notice some strange coincidences, and see Robin's ancestors in some 1962 movie footage that is barely on-topic. It's fun!
