I picked up this 1984 kiddies BASIC programming book.

I wasn't alive then, but just for giggles I'm typing out all the programs from it, getting them to run on FreeBASIC, then compiling them.

And it's #FOSS.

Check it out (or help if you fancy): https://codeberg.org/TheJessieKirk/FirstComputerLibrary

AI has sucked a lot of joy out of programming so maybe this will put some back in?

NOTE: It's a work in progress. I'm still adding them from this book, don't have all the books and don't know BASIC well yet 🤪
