PILOT (Programmed Inquiry, Learning, Or Teaching) is a language mainly for developing conversations with computers. It is a complete, easy-to-learn language. The classic “hello world” looks like this:
T: Hello World
The implementation for the Atari is a conversion of the “Taylor PILOT” from 1985. Since not much has changed in the language design since then, and Pilot is largely standardised, this version can be considered complete. The program is a TOS program without a GEM interface. Pilot programs can be written in any text editor. An example program and the source code of PILOT Atari are included.
