oo About This Book
This book contains simple games
programs to play on amicrocomputer.
They are written for use on ZX81,ZX
Spectrum, BBC, VIC 20,
TRS-80 and Pet and Apple micros, and
many are short enough tofit into the
ZX81's IKof memory.
Most micros use the language BASIC,
butthey all have their own variations or
dialects. In this book, the main listing for
each program works on the ZX8] and
lines which need changing for the other
computers are marked with symbols and
printed underneath. The fact that the
programs are written for several micros
means that they do not make full use of
each one’s facilities. You could try
finding ways of making the programs
shorter and neater for your micro.
For each game, there are ideas for
changing and adding to the programs
and towards the back of the book you
will find tips and hints on writing games
ofyour own. Also inthe book isa
conversion chart to help you adapt
programs in magazines and other books
for your micro and a summary of the
BASIC terms used in this book.
Typing in the programs
Lines which need changing for
computers other than ZX8] are marked
with these symbols:
VIC and Pet
* BBC and Acorn Electron
@ TRS-80
© Apple
* ZXSpectrum
Every time you see the symbol forthe
micro youare using, look below forthe
corresponding line number with the
same symbol and type that in instead.
Petcomputers.
VIC 20 versions of all except the graphics program should workon
Points to remember
1 Type the lines exactly as they are printed
including all punctuation and spaces.
2 Press RETURN, NEWLINE or ENTER
key at the end of each programiine.
3 Check each line as you go.
4 Makesure you don't miss out aline or
confuse one with another. A piece ofpaper
ora ruleris useful to mark your place in
the listing.
§ Look out for the symbols and make sure
you use the correct lines for your
computer.
6 Ifyouare using aZX8] or ZX Spectrum,
remember notto type the program
instructions letter by letter but to use the
‘special key for each instructioninstead.
You may find it easier to get someone to
ead the program out to you while you
type it in. Don’t forget to explain thatthey
mustread every comma, fullstop, bracket
and space and differentiate between letter
“O” and zero, FOR and 4, and TO and2.
Debugging programs
When youhave typed
inthe program, check
your manual to find out
howto display it onthe
screen. (Usually you
type LIST followed by
the line numbers of the
section you want to
see.) Check youhave
typedeverything
correctly. Itis easy to
make mistakes, so
expect to find some. Use
your manual to find out
howto make changes to
the program once itis
typed in. Ifin doubt, you
canalwaystype the line
again. All the computers
will replace an existing
line with anew one with
the same number.
Hereisachecklist of common
mistakes to look out for:
1 Line missed out
2 Line wrongly numbered
3 The beginning of one line joined onto
the end of another.
4 Brackets, commas, colons, semi-
colons, fullstops or spaces missed out,
especially in long, complicated lines.
Watch for double brackets in particular.
5 Wrong line used for your computer.
6 Letter “O” confused with zero.
T Wrong numbers used, e.g. extra zeros
included.
Playing the games
To start the game you must type RUN. In
some games things happen very quickly,
somake sure you have read the
instructions and know what youare
supposed to do.
Itis quite likely that the program still
hasa mistake in it and either won't
at all or the game won't work properly.
Sometimes your computer will give you
an error code which you can look upin
the manual. This may help you find the
mistake, though not always. Listthe
program again and check it carefully
against the book.
When the game is over, the computer
will usually say something like BREAK IN
LINE 200. To play again, you have totype
RUN.
Experimenting with the games
There are suggestions for changing and
adding to the programs throughout the
book, but don't be afraid toexperiment
with changes of your own. Youcan't
damage the computer and youcan
always change back to the original ifthe
changes don't work.
Youwill probably find you want to
adjust the speed of some games, +
especially after youhave played thema
number of times, You will find out which
line to change on each program page.
Wherever you see
PRINT, youcan
change the message in,
quotes that follows itto!
whatever youlike.
Also, unless you have

Type a line number (say 105 if youwant
toadd a message between lines 100and
110), then type PRINT, then your
message inside quotes.

and sounds, you could use your manual
to find out how they work and tryadding
them to the games inthis book
