Notes

Published in the book The Electron Gamesmaster from Granada Technical Books (Granada Publishing Ltd). See the book for a lengthy explanation of the program, which includes the following:

The animated snake developed in the last chapter can be used to create a wide variety of exciting games. Tadpole is just such a game and this chapter shows how the Snake program can be modified to produce a new game.

In the second half of the chapter we take the opportunity to change one of the complicated procedures within the animation loop machine code.

This results in a much faster and more exciting game and serves to illustrate the way that BASIC and machine code should be used together.
