...none of these are "turn on and play". For any of the above, what's the command to draw a triangle?

What was it on the C64? I would have thought you would have had to write a program to do it. What is the command to spawn a zombie on the C64? Or to display a gif? Or to download data from an Internet service?

Oh, definitely, but drawing itself was a primitive. With Javascript you need html, css, canvas.... it's a damn nightmare.
