Hello all, It's been a long time since I last posted here. I'm searching for a "memory refresher": Does anyone happen to know or remember in which issue of "Dragon User" there once was an article or a piece of software by A.K. Dewdney, please? I'm almost certain there once was one but I just do not ...

i can only make a guess without more information... RPG style game... Juxtaposition - Barons of Ceti V Return Of The Ring The Ring of Darkness There were only Barons in the former (each one a different color). As of the latter two, the player would only meet kings and princesses - and jesters! - in...

When I can access my personal computer (I'm currently working from home, so I have both PCs trade places and I usually do so on week-ends), I will be able to retrieve the ".vdk" that holds the source code for the adventure game I had written, back in 1986 (… I even think there was a short note about...

But the strangest thing here is… that this was about 36 years ago and I still remember it! I guess it is because I spent so much t...

"How to manage objects in an adventure game written in BASIC?" Once again, this is achieved through arrays. Say your game has: . 99 locations (variable LO=99) . 50 objects (variable IT=50) You would need 3 arrays to store the needed information for all your objects: . array IL for the location item...

During my attic find I also found a BASIC printout of Flipper (Othello/Reversi clone). I've always been intrigued with the AI needed for a game like that - when I get a chance I might try to analyse it. The computer AI was pretty good - it beat my handheld Othello computer back in the day. Hello Jo...

… It was just that there was useless code there: 440 IF OL(J)<>CP THEN 460 :ELSE 450 450 PRINT OJ$(J) 460 NEXT J From the moment OL(J)=CP , Line 450 will be executed.
