शून्यताDa tippst du ein "creepy" Spiel ein, startest es, und dann ist es ein Spellchecker.
Die "Geister" werden sauer, wenn du dich vertippst. Hahaha.
Dr. Juande Santander-VelaSpeaking of my previous toot [1] about old Usborne books [2], I have just learned from the book How to Make Computer-Controlled Robots [3] that you could easily simulate
ON value GOSUB line1, line2, [line3…]
with
GOSUB line1*(value=1)+ line2*(value=2)[+ line3*(value=1)…]
(See logical page 37 — printed as 35 — on [3])
I guess the same works for ON GOTO…

I had posted this on at least two previous accounts, but not here: the Usborne Computing Books of the 80’s are available (still, fingers crossed 🤞🏼) as free downloads. They can be useful to think of things that kids could be doing today… and they’re also gorgeous and nostalgic at the same time: https://usborne.com/gb/books/computer-and-coding-books ps. If you access outside the UK, the link above will not appear to work. In that case, please 1) go to Start page (last link in the error page; might be in a different language for you); 2) set your language and region to English/United Kingdom, respectively; and 3) then click that link again. #retrocomputing #usborne #kids

Josh G@GrantMeStrength I learned to code from Usborne as a pre-teen, and that really set the course of my career a decade later. Thirty or so years on, my kid pulled one of the books from our shelves (Usborne "Write your own adventure programmes for microcomputers") and we sat together and coded it up on a BBC emulator. I love Usborne, but I did have a strong desire to refactor that code! I had to keep explaining to my son how this or that bit of code wasn't best practice, and why. But that makes me sound ungrateful to them. I owe them a big debt of gratitude. Thanks #Usborne !
Mark Gardner@vk2gpu #Usborne has graciously provided many of their classic 1980s computer #books as freely downloadable PDFs, including the “Introduction to Computer #Programming: #BASIC for Beginners” in @GrantMeStrength’s photo: https://usborne.com/books/computer-and-coding-books
Mark H20 books that have had an impact on who you are. One book a day for 20 days. No explanations, no reviews, just book covers (don't forget the alt text).

@nixCraft I distinctly remember tweaking the type-in #BASIC games from early #1980s #Usborne books so that I would always win: https://usborne.com/us/books/computer-and-coding-books
Today that would be #RetroComputing.

PareI saw somebody lamenting that Usborne doesn't any more have PDFs of their old computer books for children on the internet.
But they do! I found these recently: https://usborne.com/row/books/computer-and-coding-books
I had a Finnish translation of a compilation of some of these, found it at my parents and figured I could try to find the original PDFs, too. The book had the space games, and I typed in many of them. I especially liked the star base one.
