From the rear cover:


A good computer program starts with one original idea, which is nurtured and allowed to grow in its own good time.

From the moment the first keys are pressed on the Dragon 32, to the time when the final program starts to roll off the printer, programmers often find they are undergoing a process of discovery. So it was with this book. Many times, the authors found the computer was bringing its own influence to bear, helping to shape programs into their final form. In many cases, they found the Dragon appeared to have as much to do with the creative process as the programmers did, as the screen format and extensive colour and sound facilities demanded to be used to the full.

Robert Young, Roger Bush and Robert Shrimpton did not hurry this book. They wanted the programs to unfold, so they would be a true reflection of the capabilities of the Dragon 32. the extensive range of programs in this book suggests they approached the task in the right way. You're sure to have as much fun running and developing the games in this book as the two Roberts and Roger did when writing them.
