Note to User
The programs in this book were not originally written in Atari
BASIC and therefore will not run on the Atari computer without
some modification. The supplement in the Appendix contains those
programs from the book that require changes. All of these programs
have been run and tested on an Atari 400 and Atari 800 computer,
and you should encounter no difficulty in using them. Where the
word "LPRINT" is used in a program, what follows it will be printed
out on the Atari printer. If you do not have one, simply replace
"LPRINT" with "PRINT." This will direct the printed output to your
television screen.
It has not been possible to convert every single program in the
book for use on the Atari computer. The programs for which no Atari
equivalent has been written are:
1. Soccer I, page 9
2. Starship Alpha, page 46
If you carefully study the original program listings in the book,
and the Atari versions given in the Appendix, you will quickly see
what the differences are in Atari BASIC, and it will be easier for you
to convert programs from other books and magazine articles for use
on your Atari computer. Good luck and happy computing.
