This book is a basic BASIC programming text. Intended primarily for beginners, experienced programmers also will find a few things of in terest. The VIC-20 is a simple and easy to use computer that may be coupled with this book to provide perhaps the most user-friendly and least intimidating introduction to programming possible. This book is designed to complement, not replace, the USER'S GUIDE that is included in the VIC-20 package. The USER'S GUIDE is primarily an introduction to the VIC-20 while this book is primarily an introduction to programming. Many of the available computer manuals include dozens of long pro grams for the reader to type in and use, but those programs don't necessarily further one's understanding of programming. Although most of the programs in this book are short (to save unnecessary typing on your part), they are the foundation for a complete understanding of BASIC programming that will enable you to build long programs de signed to do exactly what you want them to do.

First published in 1983, this outstanding reference work about the Commodore 64 helped many owners of the much-loved home computer understand their machine to a whole new level. The details within the book enabled users to perfect their coding skills in both BASIC and advanced machine code. To this day it remains a highly useful guide for those interested in retro games programming on the classic machine. * * * As the original publisher Melbourne House wrote: Here is the definitive book for the Commodore owner. A complete and comprehensive guide to make you total master of your Commodore 64. Commodore 64 Exposed is an encyclopedia of solutions from Basic programming through to machine language, and includes vital tables of memory locations and system variables. The step-by-step format is designed to ensure that every owner will understand exactly how their Commodore 64 works. Every feature and program variable is carefully explained with the aid of simple demonstration programs that can be entered in minutes. Whether you are a first-time computer user or a serious programmer, if you want to take full advantage of your Commodore 64's impressive capabilities, then this is the book for you. * * * Acorn Books is proud to present its Retro Reproduction Series, a collection of classic computing works from the 1980s and 90s, lovingly reproduced in the 21st century. From standards of programming reference no self-respecting microcomputer programmer would be without, to obscure works not found in print anywhere else, these modern reprints are perfect for any connoisseur of retro computing.

A single line of code offers a way to understand the cultural context of computing. This book takes a single line of code—the extremely concise BASIC program for the Commodore 64 inscribed in the title—and uses it as a lens through which to consider the phenomenon of creative computing and the way computer programs exist in culture. The authors of this collaboratively written book treat code not as merely functional but as a text—in the case of 10 PRINT, a text that appeared in many different printed sources—that yields a story about its making, its purpose, its assumptions, and more. They consider randomness and regularity in computing and art, the maze in culture, the popular BASIC programming language, and the highly influential Commodore 64 computer.
