Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Shorter, faster, smarter: In FOR BASIC TO ONE-LINERS, minimalism meets programming. This book offers a comprehensive introduction to the world of BASIC one-liner programming on 8-bit computers. One-liner programming is a technique in which complex tasks, graphic and sound effects and even entire games are realised in just a single line of code with up to 80 characters. This minimalist approach requires precision and creativity in order to create efficient yet powerful programs - with as few characters and as little processing time as possible. This is exactly where FOR BASIC TO ONE-LINERS comes in. Featuring more than 170 tips & tricks for shorter code and faster programs, this compendium is an indispensable guide for programming enthusiasts and retro computing addicts. The book offers numerous hands-on examples with explanatory graphics and speed comparisons to make complex one-liners easy to understand. In addition, this edition contains a comprehensive overview of BASIC commands (PEEKs, POKEs, SYSs, WAITs & CHR$s) as well as a complete list of all screen codes and PETSCII codes of the Commodore 64. Both beginners and professionals will find many tips and tricks in this amazing compilation to put the finishing touches to their programs.
