David H. Ahl provided a generation of programmers with the tools to make cool things. As a writer, he published books and articles in many magazines of the early computer era including Creative Computing. (Ed. Note: I have the above book from the 80s and typed its programs into a number of computers)
On June 15th, 2022, David issued a statement releasing his works into the public domain! This allows a new generation to enjoy all his publications!!

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.

I remember in 1982 using the Checkers game from the book to drive a robot arm with input from a camera as part of a senior EE project.
