More Basic Computer Games #92

Closed melstav closed 2 years ago

melstav commented 3 years ago

I don't know if you'd seen it before, but I was kind of wondering if you were planning on giving the sequel collection, "More Basic Computer Games" the same treatment.

Scans of the book are on AtariAge and Archive.org, but I was also able to track down a site that had all of the games in plain text, ready to download. https://www.roug.org/retrocomputing/languages/basic/morebasicgames

Yes, but I wanted to reduce the scope of the project and start with the original book first!

I figured that if you were already aware of the book, its omission would likely have been for that very reason, but I thought it was worth confirming.

Hooray! I eagerly await the definitive set of Hunt the Wumpus ports to every language!

Here's a start from RosettaCode, in GNU APL.

Let's see how far we get with the first 101 games first, but this is on our roadmap!!

Closing this one now. I am also looking forward to contributing to the "More Basic Computer games" effort in due course!
