Broken Computer Games

A generated book for NaNoGenMo2022 (National Novel Generation Month) This is based on the (real) book Basic Computer Games by Dave Ahl, in 1978, which he put into the public domain in 2022 . Basic Computer Games was the first computer book to sell one million copies, and taught a generation of budding programers how to program in the BASIC language. A little python script randomly selects two of the Basic computer games and mashes them up by choosing a few lines of code from each program. I generated hundreds of these, then ran the programs in pybasic to create this book.
