08.12.2022 - Code Review a Novel? C64 BASIC in The Impossible Fortress - new Video from '8-Bit Show And Tell'
The Impossible Fortress is a novel by Jason Rekulak about the (mis)adventures of a 14-year-old Commodore 64 programmer in 1987. Each chapter opens with a snippet of C64 BASIC code from the video game he's writing, with the help of a friend he meets during the story. Robin gets the dumb idea to type in, comment upon, and when reasonable, fix the code from all 34 chapters in one stupidly long video.
