Graphic Art for the Electron computer

the long version

This is a book for everyone who is fascinated by the possibilities of computer art. An expert on computer languages, Boris Allan, has taken many of the most powerful concepts in computer art from specialised languages like LOGO and rewritten them in clearly understandable BASIC. The result is a book which allows the reader to use and understand the exciting 'turtle graphics' techniques which have swept the world of education and graphic design, along with a host of other ideas which will open up the world of graphics to the first user and experienced programmer alike. For teachers and parents, the book contains programs and advice on introducting children to the turtle graphics methods increasingly found in schools. Specially written for the Electron, this book makes full use of all the graphics facilities that are so often neglected and shows how the huge range of graphics programs for the BBC Micro can be modified to best effect for the Electron. Boris Allan is one of the best known writers on micro computing in Britain. He contributes regularly to a wide range of leading computer magazines and his books on computer languages and computer art have won him a wide readership. He writes a regular column for Popular Computing Weekly.
