……沿街的计算机机房，大家（小孩和大人）可以在那里租用连着计算机的 TTY 终端机时。当时我们用的大多是 DEC PDP-8 计算机。我们最受欢迎的书之一是《What to Do After You Hit Return》（敲回车之后该干嘛），https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/What_to_Do_After_You_Hit_Retur.... 哪怕放到今天，它依然是部经典。照着杂志或书里的代码一行行打进去，除非你真懂，否则完全就像在碰运气……
…storefront computer facilities where people (kids and adults) could rent time on a TTY connected to a computer. Most of the computers we used for that were DEC PDP-8s. One of our most popular books was What to Do After You Hit Return, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/What_to_Do_After_You_Hit_Retur.... It remains, to this day, a classic. Typing in a program from a magazine or book was always a crapshoot unless you really understood…
1977年：我是照着《What To Do After You Hit Return》里打代码，再通过改动参数做实验来学会 BASIC 的。用的是一台 Processor Technology SOL。我爸还有一台 BYTE-8（我看维基百科上甚至都没有，我记得它是 IMSAI 的兼容机），必须手动输入机器码……
1977: I learned BASIC from typing in programs in "What To Do After You Hit Return" and experimenting by changing things. On a Processor Technology SOL. My dad also had a BYTE-8 (I see that's not even in wikipedia, I think it was an IMSAI clone) and had to manually enter the machine…
仔细想想，我建议你教他（也就是带带他）一些非常简单的数字游戏，让他用 Python 或 BASIC 写出来。如果你能找到的话，找一本《What to do after you hit return: PCC's first book of computer games》或者《101 Basic Games》作为起步就挺合适。这些游戏简单又好玩，而且不会被展示层和计算逻辑混在一起的破事搞得晕头转向。
On second thought, I'd suggest that you teach (that is, mentor) some very simple number games and have him program them in Python or BASIC. If you can find it, a copy of What to do after you hit return: PCC's first book of computer games or 101 Basic Games would do for a start. These games are simple, fun, and don't get cluttered up with issues of presentation versus computation logic.
这让我想起了1970年代中期的 ASCII 电脑图形，只不过这个更先进，而且快了几个数量级。特别是它让我想起了《What to Do After You Hit Return》这本书里的《曼荼罗》（Mandala），这在1975年绝对是一本神书，里面全是可以照着手敲的 BASIC 游戏和图形程序。如果你想感受早期家用电脑的那种味道，一定要看看这本书。https://archive.org/details/Whattodoafteryouhitreturn/page/n...
This reminds me of mid-1970s ASCII computer graphics, except more advanced and orders of magnitude faster. In particular, it brought to mind "Mandala" from the book "What to Do After You Hit Return", which was an amazing book in 1975, full of BASIC games and graphics programs that you could type in. If you want the vibe of early home computers, take a look at this book. https://archive.org/details/Whattodoafteryouhitreturn/page/n...
看起来像是当年“人民计算机公司”（People's Computer Company）的游戏《Bagels》（百吉饼）的网页版实现。这个游戏最早发表在经典神书《What to Do After You Hit Return: PCC's First Book of Computer Games》上，现在早就绝版了。PCC 的资料当时是按“署名即可免费使用”的版权协议发布的，这可以说是知识共享（Creative Commons）理念极早期的雏形了。……
