This software feast is ready to be served up on the British Broadcasting Corporation Model B Microcomputer. It has been prepared by Martin Bryant, author of White Knight, the chess program that won first prize in the home computer section of the 1983 PCW European Microchess Championship.
Spread the book out before you and relish the reflex/reaction games (Ricochet Golf, Meteors, Rollers, Slalom, Rebel); the tactical games (Balrog, Graves, March, Mine); the puzzle games (Solitaire, Towers, Rotate, Quiz); the strategy games (Backgammon, Awari); and the demonstration 'dance' of the eight chess queens (Queens). The backgammon program alone is the equal of similar commercial games.
The book also includes an extremely simple adventure that allows you to grasp completely the principles of constructing such games of your own (Adventure); and a simple text editor (Edit) written in 6502 assembly language, that can be used on its own or as the basis for developing a text editor of your own.
The programs in this book are suitable for running on a Model B with Operating System 1.0 onward and with either cassette or disk storage.
