I sent in my manuscript about coding my 1K hires game.
Soon you can buy the book with the description about all 81 games at Amazon.

Interesting! Not bought a book in a while.
Is it an explanation of the games or does include general information about programming hires?

It is about the games,how the first idea formed, how the games work, which fun facts about the games.
Which controls.
It is NOT about coding, just about the games and why I stopped at 81.

No worries! You had mentioned doing a book about that before I think so wanted to be sure.
My copy is ordered!

Does the book have type-ins of the games in funky slanted columns?

See link above with example for BLOCKY, repeat rhat 80x
I am thinking how I can make something with examples without describing each game.

Hi dr beep !
there is no code in the book, as you said previously, but i don't see any link to go and load them in the few pages we can preview in Amazon.
Is it printed somewhere in the book ?
(not for me, i donwload it from here as soon as i see one
)
Just looking to buy one for a gift for another ZX addicted friend.
