About the Book

Do you have an Atari microcomputer and want to run BASIC programs?Do you wish you had a book full of a wide variety of Atari BASIC programs?

Home Applications and Games for the Atari microcomputer not only provides a library of exciting programs, but its side-by-side notes also explain how Atari BASIC works. Simply put, this book will help you learn BASIC programming. Further, some aficionados claim that learning programming re-orders your mind by making you think more logically.

First published in 1983, this second edition is a faithful reproduction of the original, classic book that boasts 31 easy-to-use Atari BASIC programs.

This is an appropriate book for Novice and experts alike. Even someone who has never programmed a single line of BASIC code will find multiple streets of joy within this book's pages. Some of the programs are bare-bones simple. Others take advantage of Atari BASIC's sophisticated colour graphics and sound. Keep in mind that the Atari is famous for its colourful, sound-arific games!

Simply type them in and use them to manage your checkbook or to keep an inventory of household goods. You can even play graphic games, shooting down MIG fighters or battling the monster Grendel, or one of the evil Ghost Town Vampire girls.

You can also compose music, encrypt or decrypt private files.

What's special about this book is that its programs take advantage of all the sophistication of Atari BASIC. Its 6502 Motorola main processor talks to a separate graphics chip that offers great graphics for games, a feature that was unavailable on other home computers of the time.

More particularly, in addition to graphics, Atari BASIC supports sound, (SOUND statement), graphics (GRAPHICS, SETCOLOR, COLOR, PLOT and DRAWTO), and peripheral units like joysticks (STICK, STRIG) and paddles (PADDLE, PTRIG). Other home computer users were often left with cryptic PEEKs and POKEs for such programming.

As such, this book's litany of programs provides a self-teaching guide to all the nuances of Atari Basic.
