Basic Tenliners
Die NOMAM, Abkürzung für Not Only Marvelous Atari Machinery, ist ein Treffen von Gleichgesinnten. Sie findet seit 2008 jeweils im April in verschiedenen Orten Schleswig-Holsteins statt und zieht Homecomputer-Begeisterte aus ganz Deutschland und dem benachbarten Ausland an. Neben dem Spielen, dem Basteln, Löten und Schrauben an ihren alten Rechnern stellt für sie das Programmieren einen wichtigen Teil ihres Hobbys - das Retrocomputing - dar. In diesem Jahr fand das Event, genauso wie im Vorjahr, in Lübeck im Gemeindehaus der ev.-luth. Kirchengemeinde Kücknitz statt. Bereits 2013 beschlossen die Teilnehmer, auch 2014 wieder einen kleinen Programmierwettbewerb zu starten. Die Schreibe ein Spiel in 10 Zeilen in der Programmiersprache Turbo Basic XL für Atari-Computer. Um den Wettbewerb etwas zu bereichern, wurden auch Programme von Leuten zugelassen, die nicht zur NOMAM erscheinen. Vielleicht würden es ja ein paar mehr Programme werden als die sechs eingereichten Programme im Vorjahr ...

Can you actually make a interesting game using just 10 lines of BASIC? The answer is yes.
Gunnar Kanold has been organizing the "BASIC 10-Liner Contest", and (at time of writing) his website has the competition entries and results for 2015 through 2022. Here's the 2022 entries: https://gkanold.wixsite.com/homeputer... , where among the many 8-bit platforms represented, you can see my VIC-20 entry "DuetHero" (it didn't please the judges, but I had a blast writing it :) ).
This book covers the 2014 competition. It's a visual read, with a screen shot and full source for each of the 40 Atari 8-bit games. The only gotcha is that it's in German, which I don't read, but I was able to point my Android phone at my paperback copy and get a serviceable translation.
