Oh I used to love doing stuff like that on the Vic20. It came with a Teach Yourself Commodore Basic book. Oh and a cutout plastic template for drawing flow charts.
I remember there was one programme in that book that made a simple question and answer game. I felt soooo cool when it worked lol. I dropped off it though, because none of it seemed to have much practical application. I think had it had a basic word processing programme I'd have used it much more. Stuck to games after that.
One of the games I got a couple of months later for my Birthday was too big for the standard Vic20. So we had to buy a memory upgrade: a memory cartridge which went into the back of the computer and stuck out with a little switch visible, it had 3 memory settings, the highest being - wait for it - 16k! Wow. 16k of additional memory!
The game was Metagalactic Llamas Battle at the edge of Time.
