I get all my Commodore 64 setup on CHRISTmas day that is the first thing
that I am going to start working on. The one I am doing is *" THE DRAGON
OF DOOM "* I have been brushing up on my coding skills with old books
like BASIC COMPUTER GAMES AND SUCH...
In a similar vein, I found in the used book store by my house a year or
two ago, "The Bytes Brothers" Volume 2. Billed as a "Solve-it-yourself
computer mystery, it takes you through a story, with clues, the idea is
to write a basic program to solve some of the puzzles through-out the
book. It's pretty simple stuff, but would be perfect for an 8-9 year
old just learning some BASIC on their family's home computer. I've
looked around for these and haven't found these in any other used stores.
...and now that I check amazon, the entire series of these is out there
for about a penny a piece, I may have to burn a Christmas dollar,
literally just one to get the rest.
