C64 Book update tracking is the focus as Bård Baadstø Ildgruben explains how he plans to manage corrections for his assembly programming book, Making Games For The Commodore 64 In Assembly Language. He walks through recent fixes, shares what prompted a cleaner system, and guides viewers to a single source where every update can be checked.
He begins by describing a series of small number mistakes discovered after a recent video. One viewer spotted an error sitting only two lines below a correction he had already covered, which led to another quick revision. Because these adjustments could pile up and confuse readers, he introduced a clear structure for future updates. This structure sits at the front of the book, showing which printing each version belongs to. The current release is marked as the third printing, even though the only difference from the second printing is a corrected digit.
As he explains this change, he notes how readers can identify earlier versions. For instance, a misaligned spiral bound cover signals that someone owns the first printing. A fixed cover without a printing note identifies the second. These small markers help readers understand which revision they hold without guesswork.
To keep everything organized, he created a dedicated PDF called “book corrections” on the project’s GitHub page. This is where the C64 Book update tracking process becomes especially useful. The PDF lists each correction by date, page number, and a short summary. It also shows screenshots that highlight the mistake and its fix with clear formatting. Some browsers may have trouble loading the PDF directly, but downloading it works reliably.
He stresses that updates will not appear weekly. Instead, he will gather reported issues and release revisions only when needed, likely a few times per year. This slower pace keeps the book stable and avoids constant version churn.
Finally, he encourages readers to report any issues they find. The goal is a book that stays helpful for new and experienced C64 coders alike, supported by a process that avoids confusion and keeps everything visible through C64 Book update tracking.
