80 Programs including Draughts!

Foreword by John Galt:

This is a curious and interesting book - and I wish I had had it when I first bought my Acorn Atom. While at first sight it appears to be a book which simply tells you how to write and develop game programs on the Atom -- and gives a host of great games ideas and listings in the process -- closer inspection reveals that following through the explanation given for each game will teach you quite a bit... I would have saved myself hours of frustration if Trevor and Tim had written this book before I got my Atom... If I'd had this volume, I'd still be sane, and would have mastered the computer much more easily -- and with far less pain -- than I did.

Date: 1982 The best of INTERFACE - 39 Tested Programs for the Acorn Atom

"This collection of programs for the Acorn Atom should help you discover more of your computer's capabilities.

The programs first appeared in the monthly magazine INTERFACE, published by the Independent Acorn (Atom/BBC) User' Group, in conjunction with the National ZX80 and ZX81 Users' Club. THey show a wide variety of approaches to solving programming problems.

Special thanks to the programmers who contribued to this volume: Russel Heins, Robert Heard, G. Hillebrand, Ian Smith, Lars Jakobsson, Jeremy Ruston, Amelia Bridge, Colin barker, Andrew Stevens, Mark Deven, G. S. Buttrick, Norman Alms, Ken Mahogany, Anne Marshall, eter Grantham, and Wilton J. Faberge. Other programs were written by me. I hope the ideas used in these programs help you put your Atom through its paces, and give you some hints on how to expand your programming skills.

Good programming,

TIM HARTNELL,
