An exciting collection of entertaining and educational games and graphics for children to computer buffs. Starts with an explanation of how statements affect the video display and create patterns. Shows how to handle subroutines and ways to modify programs to create your own graphic action. There are 29 ready-to-run programs ranging from simple (controlling a spacecraft by entering commands on the computer keyboard), games for children to learn the alphabet or play guessing games, to more involved card and number games, and a computer crossword puzzle. Other games show how to create video animation effects. Loads of drawings, diagrams and step-by-step instructions make it easy to program and play each of these graphic games. Also included are appendices with a summary of Level II Basic statements, operations, graphic and arithmetic functions, and conversions.
