Re: Jeff's VIC 20 Book

The most current draft is posted here: Version 0.9c PDF I think I corrected all of the purple links. Be patient. I have some limitations in finding them. I also added the stack entry information to the end of the BASIC list. I also added more HEX columns to charts that might benefit (PETSCII, tokens...

Re: Jeff's VIC 20 Book

Oh, goodness. Wrong document. The color change is from previously visited links. I fixed that issue. I will revisit the doc to be sure the remaining notes are corrected too. I really appreciate this. On another note, I have twice come across information on BASIC stack entry. I have yet to find use f...

Yep, ring bounding. It almost doubles the price of the book, but the whole point is to have a lay-flat book... :D I'm still making tiny tweaks to the content, but I am eager to get a tangible sample.

This is LULU's price. My local printer would be much more expensive because I would have to ship to me THEN ship to destination. I'm so happy you suggested this.

Re: Jeff's VIC 20 Book

UPDATE: Printing and shipping is a lot more expensive now then when I started (and first estimated pricing)... pre-pandemic. I had sourced a local printer and had the price down to $10 per book (with a loss for me on international shipping), but now the estimate has doubled -- just over $20 per book...

The FINAL draft is posted here: Version 0.9 PDF I have enough orders to do a print run, so please let me know if you want one too. This PDF is what I am sending to print this week.

I missed that post. Very interesting. And just for the record, I asked it to make a "Hello World" program. It was correct. I asked for something slightly more complicated, and it was completely wrong.

Haha when the VIC took off its box, I was a little excited. I thought it might strip down to the circuitry.

Mastering_the_VIC-20_0046.jpg Most seemed to request the large scale memory map be in color, so I moved it to the interior front page (color printing for the cover). Now I have a new issue. What colors should be used? For example, the image above from Mastering the VIC uses slightly varied shading ...
