[Coco] [Color Computer] Polymorphisim in BASIC?

[theother_bob]

Self-modifying code is relatively easy. The real problem here is the CoCo has very limited control of the deck with regards to recording or positioning the tape. Real cassettes don't handle frequent re-recordings well and you will lose data if that is your plan. If using a PC soundcard as a deck, then you might have something useful, but still daunting.

With Disk Basic it's much easier to do what you're describing. Manipulating the files on tape is all but impossible. Manipulating files on disk is not trivial, but there are options depending on what you need to accomplish.

I was thinking of doing a code that has fixed lines, and then a couple of lines are left blank for the computer to write and modify. And when it is done it writes the updated program to the cassette.
