Duckworth - The Amstrad Programmers Guide

THE AMSTRAD PROGRAMMER'S GUIDE Bryan Skinner Whether you've just started programming or simply want to be able to get more from your Amstrad, you'll find this book a mine of useful information and programming ideas. Basic programming is introduced in the first four chapters, chapter five shows how to design and code a game from scratch, and there are further chapters on machine code, sound, graphics, the cassette system and interrupts. The Amstrad's functions and facilities are clearly explained throughout and each chapter contains example programs. The book contains many useful programming techniques, such as data compression by bit-mapping, the complex use of arrays and ROM calls. Many of the chapters have longer listings which you can develop for use in your own programs. Bryan Skinner is a computer journalist with a special interest in software. He is software editor of Personal ComputerNews and the author, with Mike Gerrard, of Mr Chips Comes Home, also published by Duckworth. ISBN 0-7156-1984-5 / ISBN 0715619845
