10 PRINT

The actual title of this book is 10 PRINT CHR$(205, 5+RND(1)); : GOTO 10

This book revolves around a one line BASIC program written to run on the Commodore 64 computer. It produces a maze on the screen. The book is highly academic. A lot of tangent ideas are covered in the book.

There are variants of the program. There are implementations on other computers. And there are related mazes coded. There is even code for the computer to traverse the maze. And then there is a game where the user tries to move through the maze.

The book itself is too academic for me. But it takes me back to the 1980s, where I programmed in BASIC on the TRS-80 Color Computer from Tandy/Radio Shack.
