_StarTrek_ is a game that I wrote in interpreted BASIC in 1981 while
I was still in high school. I enjoyed writing it and playing it was
even more fun. It was a game that I never grew tierd of. I have played
games with spectacular graphics, supurb sound and nice animation, but
evenutally they become boring to me. (There are a few that I still
really enjoy) This game has been eciting to play each time I use it.
Eventually I compiled my source code in QuickBASIC and then it really
was fast, but my source code was a mess. It was a tangle of nested
loops and GOTO's (That's BASIC for you...). I had to re-write it.
I began a translation into C but it is not so great to translate BASIC
code into C directly so I decided to not look at my BASIC code and just
program from memory and from what I wanted to have happen. This worked
out far better. The code is now completed and the original spirit of
the game is quite in tact. A few enhancements have been added but the
heart of the game is still the same. I hope you enjoy StarTrek as
much as I have.
The game is a fairly simple one to play. To start the game you
simply type 'STARTREK' at the dos prompt and you are ready to play.
