Introduction to TRS-80 Graphics cover

Introduction to TRS-80 Graphics (catalog number 62–2063) focuses on utilizing the block graphics of the TRS-80 Model I using Level I BASIC. Two editions—one by dilithium Press and one by Radio Shack—share the same content differing only in cover design.

The book teaches graphics programming in BASIC, excluding general programming tutorials. It includes a list of adaptations for Level II BASIC in the appendix.

For those who want to do more with graphics, this excellent self-instruction text provides a complete introduction with dozens of examples.

A 1980 review praised the book as a worthwhile educational and reference tool.

The book includes the game Sitting Ducks, a simple shooting gallery in chapter 7, which many readers found approachable to customize and enhance.

Don Inman also authored TRS-80 Color Graphics in 1982, unrelated except conceptually.
