Basic Computer Games is a modern revitalization of the classic “Basic Computer Games” book’s collection of games, ported and expanded into various modern, memory-safe and scripting languages. It includes illustrative code examples of many classic games (e.g. Blackjack, Bowling) in multiple languages, with the goal of making the historical games accessible and educational in safe modern environments.

Features

  • A multilingual code collection: each game translated into multiple modern languages (C#, Python, JavaScript, Ruby, Lua, etc.)
  • Memory-safe / scripting language focus (avoiding unsafe languages)
  • Well-written, readable code examples suitable for educational use
  • Maintains the spirit and structure of original BASIC games (e.g. control flow, logic) while modernizing syntax and paradigms
  • Web site display / catalog of games to browse the examples online (codinghorror.github.io)
  • Community contributions encouraged to expand language ports and improvements
