Simple PEEK and POKE for BASIC

[szczys]

I was discussing this with @vantonic last night. Would it be possible to implement simple RAM access in BASIC? I know we're limited to 16-bit numbers in interpreter. But since we don't have DIM and are limited to 26 variables, this would give a lot more flexibility.

Here's how it might work:

• i = peek X
• poke X,VALUE
• X would be 0x0000 to 0xFFFF and mapped to RAM not in use when BASIC interpreter is running

edit: I put in an 8-bit value before but meant 16-bit. To me it makes sense to use HEX so you don't need to type 65535 but really whatever is easiest to implement since we're at the deadline for this.

Implemented in 0.76. You can run

10 for a = 0 to 10 20 b = a * 3 30 poke a,b 40 next a 50 for a = 0 to 10 60 println peek a 70 next a

to print numbers 0...30

Currently, it doesn't support hexadecimal numbers.

Tested and working.
