That's cool that they have converted it to HTML. I made a simple Space Invaders game in a version of GW-BASIC on our home PC a long time ago.

Before that we had a Color Computer 2. "Getting Started with Extended Color BASIC". https://colorcomputerarchive.com/repo/Documents/Manuals/Hard...

I really liked the book. I was like 7 years old and it completely explains everything starting from what keys to press all the way up to graphics. And such cool little computer character illustrations.

I wrote a small book called How to Code that teaches JavaScript and was partially inspired by the Getting Started with Color Basic book from my youth.

I tried to use somewhat similar language. I’m not sure how well I nailed the ease of use.
