The Micro Kids

Autor Gary Plowman
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 12 dec 2018
It is November 1983 and young Billy Twist and his whiz kid friends are about to discover the exciting new world of microcomputers and gaming. Billy and his friends start on their journey but run into some obstacles as they try to setup a computer video gaming club. Billy is a typical kid growing up in the 80s, the age of the microcomputer. An age of wonder for teens and even adults alike. A nostalgic story of ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64, Amstrad and Atari video games. If I didn't grow up in the 80s I would be jealous of everyone that did - because the 80s rocked! A book for gamers, geeks and classic arcade gaming fans - whether you play new or old video games, it's still the same.

Notă biografică

Gary Plowman is an Indie Game Developer and Web Developer with a passion for retro computing and retrogaming. This book covers coding fun arcade games in BASIC. The book has been used at STEM events and kids coding seminars across UK & Europe. Teachers have also used the book for introducing game coding to kids in the classroom. In the 1980s computer magazines were bought for their Type-In games by eager young teenagers looking to decipher the mysteries of early microcomputers. The Type-in listings were very important as a first step to learning the coding language of a machine and allowed kids and teenagers to pick up the concepts as they typed in a listing for a game or utility. This book tries to recreate that feeling but in a more structured and user-friendly way and provides a breakdown of the key concepts such as game loops, collision detection, game play improvements and suggestions for further enhancing the games. The book has been bought and used by teachers, STEM facilitators, ZX Spectrum fans, Commodore 64 & Amiga owners too! Sinclair BASIC is a fun and simple language but very productive and capable for learning the basics of computer coding.
