My nephew owns an Atari 800XL computer, and I was
wondering if anyone
knows of any source for basic programs he could type in and learn from.
I think the basic programs should be short and easy for a 7th grader to
learn from. Thanks for any help. I will be writing up a mastermind program
for him and maybe a tic-tac-toe game for him. Anyone have ideas for other
games that can be written in BASIC and are easy to understand and short?
Thanks in advance.
Used book stores. They often have old computer books lying around which
they'll sell to you for a couple dollars, and it shouldn't be too hard to
find books of basic games. Heck, I have a book of 33 games designed for
PET, Apple ][, or TRS-80 BASIC that I could send to you, if you want.
They're pretty, uh, basic, but taking them apart isn't a bad way to learn
BASIC.
I really should sleep more,
