    This is more narrative than coding, and it is interesting how it mostly gives you the programs and has you just debugging, at least early on. Also it teaches BASIC which is certainly a choice in 2025. My only real gripe is that the emulator doesn't support copy and paste which is annoying when you have chucks of "encrypted" text to enter.

      The text and programs are from a book published in the 80's. It was a series of 10 books I think.

        Yup, this is an emulator for a book published in the 1980s https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micro_Adventure (part of a series of 10, looks like the emulator has 6 of the books already!).

        I remember seeing these books in my elementary school library decades ago (pre-PC ubiquity) and wondering what to do with them.

        The first programs I ever wrote were from one of these books.
