Well, it would be unfair to steal from you (or the printing company, perhaps). You should have taken advantage of the hidden promotion The printing company never loses. And a few dollars between friends is nothing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Gemintronic Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Went for the digital version as I really should use the very expensive eink reader I bought months ago. Will never let go of the hard copy of the first book. Still plonking through examples 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mik's Arcade Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 this book is already paying off!! Love the new content, i really needed that extra attention to color stack and foreground/background modes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imstarryeyed Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Just ordered the book on Lulu, it looks like it will be a good one. I also picked up Mapping The Vic for the Commodore Vic 20.. Lulu has been great to get out of print commodore vic / 64 books at reasonable prices! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just an FYI for anyone looking for out of print commodore books on Lulu, most show up just fine on the website however a few of them can only be reached through a google search to the link at Lulu, not sure why that is, but it is what it is.. Here is a great example.. My favorite Vic 20 Programming book that seems hopelessly out of print everywhere.. Programming the Vic by West https://www.lulu.com/en/us/shop/raeto-collin-west/programming-the-vic/paperback/product-1wk5d9rg.html?page=1&pageSize=4 That link came from a google search... Programming the vic lulu ... which yielded this link.. however you cannot find that book on Lulu's site.. the link however is real and I ordered from it and I love that book and just might be the best Assembly / BASIC complete book for the Vic 20. Just an FYI for anyone thinking of using Lulu, try adding lulu to the end of your google search to see if Lulu may have your book you are looking for at their site but cannot find.

carlsson Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Regarding those reprinted books, I wonder if they have obtained rights from the original author/publisher or are operating beneath the radar. The later may explain why some titles can not be found by the official search engine, only through the means that Google and others have traversed the site and "secret" links.

imstarryeyed Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 I think carlsson is mostly likely correct, I know these must be PDF uploads as one of my books has the same handwritten notes on the pages of the Machine language by Butterfield book that the PDF you can download has. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First Spear Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 I was updating the Intellivision FAQ with info about playing waveform without Intellivoice, and saw that this also in your book! Awesome. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been trying to get my childhood friend (who introduced me to the Intellivision in the first place) into this. He is an art major, so I am hoping to get some help on the graphics department. The second book is really paying off for me, it is filling in some blanks that I didn't quite get in the first book. I've been quite on progress on my latest game but it doesn't mean I have no been busy. This is the furthest I've come along on a game so far. I'm hoping to actually have a playable beta in the next couple of weeks. I am really hoping for some feedback and constructive criticism from the group.

That's exactly the objective of the book. Looking forward to your game thanks. My original game, Marathon Quest, is just too big in scope for me to tackle now. So, I'm working on a port of an old coin-op just to get a fully fleshed out game done to learn the code and how to work within the IntyBasic framework. Your chapter on Pumpkin Master enemy waves code in very useful for this game. Edited June 17, 2021 by Mik's Arcade 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
