Solvers will be over the moon about this huge collection of all-new logic puzzles! Star Battle is a growingly popular logic puzzle that, like sudoku, is simple to understand but offers a great deal of complexity and variety. In Star Battle, a 10x10 grid is divided into 10 irregular regions of different sizes. Each row, column, and region contain exactly two stars--and no stars in the grid may touch each other, even diagonally. This book contains a whopping 300 Star Battle puzzles, including short sections with one-star puzzles (as a warmup) and three-star puzzles (for an extra challenge). Author Jim Bumgardner also provides a helpful how-to-solve introduction, explaining the rules and some of the basic solving strategies.

A single line of code offers a way to understand the cultural context of computing. This book takes a single line of code—the extremely concise BASIC program for the Commodore 64 inscribed in the title—and uses it as a lens through which to consider the phenomenon of creative computing and the way computer programs exist in culture. The authors of this collaboratively written book treat code not as merely functional but as a text—in the case of 10 PRINT, a text that appeared in many different printed sources—that yields a story about its making, its purpose, its assumptions, and more. They consider randomness and regularity in computing and art, the maze in culture, the popular BASIC programming language, and the highly influential Commodore 64 computer.
