Re: Jeff's VIC 20 Book
PROBLEM: 1. Lulu only offers the lowest print quality available for global distribution. 60lb. paper. Sigh. (I promised heavy stock.) 2. Lulu only offers one sided covers! I planned the book for my printer and designed a four side color cover. 3. Coil binding is not available for global distribution...

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...

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...

Re: Goofing around with OpenAI
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.

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

Re: Jeff's VIC 20 Book
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 ...
