Comment on Updating the most influential book of the BASIC eraparent

Comments

They had some notes around the graphics examples saying that differences in syntax may prevent the code from being parsed successfully, and sure enough, none of those commands were available in the V2 BASIC dialect the C64 had.

Even the manual of the machine only included a single hi-res mode example in an appendix, and dedicated one chapter to sprite handling, but that was it. Yes, I am still angry.
