> Few people have worked on real spaghetti code

The closest I've come was my own code: minsweeper on my Ti-82 graphical calculator. I Separated the program in various sections, then used `goto` to jump where I needed. I was tempted at some point to use the "call program" facility instead, but that would have meant exposing those programs to the end users, so I just lumped everything in one file.

Reminds me why I love functions.




Oh god, I feel for you. My first real language was when I had my TI-84, and you NEEDED goto if you didn't want to clutter up the user's machine with a bunch of things they should never-ever press. God, what horrible yet nostalgic memories.
