INTRODUCTION
This
book
is
an
introduction
to
the
ATARI
XL
range
of
computers
and
their
facilities.
It
takes
you
from
the
first
steps
in
BASIC
programming,
pointing
out
the
pitfalls
and
explaining
how
to
make
the
most
of
the
features
of
ATARI
BASIC,
through
to a
detailed
understanding
of
how
to
write
good,
structured
programs,
with
many
illustrative
examples
along
the
way.
A
chapter
is
devoted
to
the
extensive
sound
capabilities
of
the
XL,
including
details
of
the
sound
generating
chip
itself
which
allow
you
to
create
a
wider
range
of effects
than
is possible
using
the
standard
commands.
Four
chapters
cover
the
incredible
graphics
facilities
of
the
machines,
including
many
spectacular
examples
and
useful
programs.
An
advanced
chapter
shows
how
a
detailed
knowledge
of
the
way
graphics
are
created
leads
to
even
more
exciting
effects.
A
comprehensive
set
of
appendices
ensure
that
the
book
will
remain
a
valuable
reference
work
long
after
you
have
grasped
the
principles
of
the
machine.
We
hope
that
you
will
find
this
book
both
enjoyable
and
instructive
and
that
it
enables
you
to
exploit
the
potential
of
your
XL to
the
full.
