Book?

100th!

I ordered the book from Lulu and I'm happy to read the Newbie-sessions on paper instead of staring at my screen. And for the price you pay this is an excellent deal!

Some minor issues:

• The images at the start of sessions 14 and 18 are cut off. I think it makes sense to rotate those 90 degrees so they fit on the page.
• The printed color palettes in session 11 don't make much sense as the book is B/W only. Maybe better to leave them out.
• Session 25 (Advanced time-slicing) is missing, which I found a real interesting session.

Anyone got the source document containing the combined sessions? If so, I could make some changes and upload a v2 version to Lulu.com.

Note: I found a link to a word document on this thread, but that doesn't contain any images.

 

Cheers,

Dion

FYI: I just published a revised version of the book "Atari 2600 Programming for Newbies" on Lulu.com. It's only $4.69.

The revised book has these improvements:

• added page numbers
• better formatting of text, assembly code and images (no more images are cut off)
• contains the additional post "Session 25: Advanced Timeslicing" from 2012
• addendum with the 6502 opcodes
• a nice cover with Andrew's avatar on the back
