on “Ask HN: What books had the greatest effect on how you structure your code?” ↗I still have a TAB book called "Writing BASIC Adventure Programs for the TRS-80" by Frank Dacosta that I bought for $10 in 1985 or so. The code in there is kind of a nightmare, but at the time, I was just a kid, soaking it up. Edit: ooh, I found a PDF: https://colorcomputerarchive.com/repo/Documents/Books/Writin...
