A meditation on a famous code one-liner in the programming language BASIC. The book demonstrates the elegance of the simple line of code producing a fascinating output. It reflects on the one-liners programming language (Basic), visual output (maze), required functions (randomness), required hardware (Commodore 64), re-interpretations (in processing) and playful extensions (complimentary maze walker). There is no need to give every chapter the same amount of attention. But when you end the book, you are left with a high respect for the thoroughness and meticulousness with which the book's 10 (!) authors executed their mission.
