ZX Spectrum Games Code Club: Twenty fun games to code and learn

This book is great. If you was around during the 8-bit computing era, either as a kid or an adult you will remember type - in programs. These were printed in monthly magazines and we're fun to enter on rainy, winter days. Now thanks to ZX Spectrum Games Code Book you can experience that feeling again. This book is written clearly with good explanation of the code and features 20 games for you to type in and play on either a emulator or real ZX Spectrum. Recommended reading!!

The games are written in an easy to follow and read manner plus you learn a lot along the way. book is nicely printed and doesn't feel cheap.

Has a few programs for The Spectrum computer.

I got this for my kindle but tempted to buy in paperback too. So far only typed in the first program and, like all basic games, it's decidedly average but the the journey is way more fun than the arrival and not too big a type in to get boring. Would like to think the kids might get some fun out of this too if I can persuade them. As advised by the author, using the 128k mode of my speccy makes it easier to type in, rather than all the specific buttons used on original speccys. A real blast of nostalgia.

This book is perfect for the beginner programmer. It not only explains how to use the emulator, it also provides a step by step approach to programming, with 20 different example programs to practice with.

Really well crafted book. Invokes a strong sense of nostalgia as you type in code and wait for the microcomputer to process the commands. Just the right amount of info to make it understandable but not bog you down with technical jargon. My only complaint, and I can't even call it a complaint as such, is that it would have been nice to have some sort of glossary of ZX keyboard commands in relation to a modern keyboard. But otherwise spot on.

I like the intire look but that is not the problem. I brought this book for a freind but he might be in jail or has moved I went to his house a little to late l have let the church down once more I am so sorry miss Harris.

Found a bug in the noughts and crosses code, if the game is a draw. Contacted author but no response after nearly four months. Beware unless you like debugging code.

A nice reproduction book with tupe in games to ge a taste on how is to “type” programms on the spectrum :)

Well packaged. Prompt delivery. New book as described

Great for those who want to relive their ZX spectrum nostalgia using an emulator (or an actual speccy).

I love this book! (Please read in an old man voice) It takes me back to typing in game code from magazines and books in the 1980s. All that's missing is the computer to crash before you have chance to save! (emulators are way more stable than the original machines, aren't they?!) Well written, well explained and great fun for any retro-head! (Is it still retro if you were there the first time? Or just .. old?)

Thanks
