Shorter, faster, smarter: In FOR BASIC TO ONE-LINERS, minimalism meets programming. This book offers a comprehensive introduction to the world of BASIC one-liner programming on 8-bit computers. One-liner programming is a technique in which complex tasks, graphic and sound effects and even entire games are realised in just a single line of code with up to 80 characters. This minimalist approach requires precision and creativity in order to create efficient yet powerful programs - with as few characters and as little processing time as possible. This is exactly where FOR BASIC TO ONE-LINERS comes in.
