This version of Snakes and Ladders is based on the
Traditional board game, but we have added some simple sums to
get kids brains working. Besides being just another game it
should help young children learn to count up to 100 in steps
of 1 to 6. It's easy - just count on from the square you are
on, the number thrown on the dice. At the end of the game
there is a score of how well you have done. You can play
against the computer or a friend and if you just want to play
for fun you also have the option of switching the sums off.
This program was written in Quickbasic on a 286, 20MHz PC with
VGA monitor using DOS version 3.3. The program should run on
any machine with EGA graphics and higher from a floppy drive
or hard disk.
TO USE THE PROGRAM
a) Power on
b) Place disk into the appropriate drive
c) Change drives by typing in A: or B:

how to register on the screen. Press any key to continue,
You should now have the game board on screen. The game is
ready to play with the default settings. ie with

To throw the dice press any key except those listed below to
start the dice. You will then be asked to do a sum. When you
have the correct answer the counter will move. It will then
be the computers go. If your counter ends on a square in
which a ladder starts you will go up, if you end on a square
with a snakes head in you will go down. The first person to
reach the 100 square is the winner. You will then be given a
score of how well you did with the sums.
To switch off the sums press the F8 key, note that you cannot
turn off the sums in the middle of a sum, wait until the sum
box has been removed from the screen. To change to a two
player game press the F7 key. To turn the sounds off press
the F6 key. To exit from the program at any time press the
F10 key.
