Forth Classes

Hi,

My name is Jason Damisch. I am the instructor of the Forth Class. I will strive to write useful and interesting information here.

I am involved with the The Forth Interest Group or FIG for short. It is the area Forth club, and has been around for many years. I put in a request to FIG for any extra materials that we can use. I will probably get a few books which I will hand over the the Noisebridge library. I suspect that they will get some use.

I'll be teaching out of the book "Starting Forth" by Leo Brodie. It is considered a classic in the Forth Community. It is a clear and easy to understand introduction to Forth, and kind funny too.

long time ago, I wrote an arcade game in Forth called Skampy. It actually runs fast and is stable. It has everything a videogame is supposed to have, speed, sound, collision detection, levels, scoring. There is even an end cartoon for the people who get past the 10th level. LOL Good Luck!
