  • basic-computer-games

    An updated version of the classic "Basic Computer Games" book, with well-written examples in a variety of common MEMORY SAFE, SCRIPTING programming languages. See https://coding-horror.github.io/basic-computer-games/

    • This was one of the computer games from 1976 BASIC computer games that some of us worked on ports of for the Coding Horror: Basic Computer Games repo. I recall there were a number of errors in the original and thus a few in the ports, python being one. I ended up writing about the deduction logic for solving mastermind because it seemed non-intuitive.
