CODE IS JUST

Shahid gets to work porting Jet Set Willy to the Commodore 64. It will only be possible if he can overcome his growing fear that he's simply not up to the job, but too much is at stake.

Shahid gets started on the C64 port of Jet Set Willy after an Atari shopping spree, only to realise that this is not going to be anywhere near as easy as he thought.

Shahid takes the train to Liverpool with George to visit Software Projects. They're going to get The Faces of Haarne published, but they're in for a shock.

Shahid works on My Word! It's his chance to get up to speed on both the Commodore 64 and the ZX Spectrum. Then he works on an original game that is the start of a journey to Liverpool that will define his life.

1983: Shahid travels to Hull to meet Artic Computing. What will they think of Storm in a Teacup? What will they make of him? And why did he choose an Atari 400?

Shahid realises that he has to up his game, but with the bullying ever present, just making it through the day is an achievement.

From the thread described as "the best ever on Twitter", Shahid recounts the the beginning of his programming journey in 1982, writing some games in BASIC and submitting them for publication in the then burgeoning home computer scene in the UK.
