Capturing Graphics from Other Sources: Dumping Them and Integrating Them into BASIC.
Fletcher, Richard K., Jr. – 1986
This paper discusses some of the ways one can study graphics on the Apple II microcomputer. Much attention is given to specialized use of software packages used in dumping graphics, and the saving or storing of binary files of graphic images. Knowledge of BASIC at more than a cursory level is required, but a step-by-step procedural outline is…

Programmed Worms.
Piele, Donald T. – Creative Computing, 1982
A hungry worm is looking for something to eat according to very specific rules, and the path he takes is a graph. The problem is detailed in Applesoft BASIC using low resolution graphics for worms that turn 90 degrees and high resolution for worms that can turn 45 degrees. (MP)
