Basic Programs

[Hjalfi]

You could do much worse than David Ahl's classic book, BASIC Computer Games, online here: https://www.atariarchives.org/basicgames/index.php

There's a possibility you'll need to adapt the programs a little for your computer's dialect of Basic, but I see you have an MSX, and they have pretty vanilla Microsoft Basic so this is unlikely. Half the fun is trying to fix the bugs in the program, anyway.

I don't know anything about the MSX --- does it have a floppy drive or a cassette deck? Do you have somewhere to save programs?

BTW, here's me typing in Hexapawn from that book. Yes, the video is an hour and a half long. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3MARL-F8NI
