Thu 15-Mar-90: I am submitting the second and the third of my games
packages to the binary postings, and I have therefore updated the
second of these packages to be tsgmec13.arc. Mostly I have just
updated some of the documentation. The game of typevaders now
restores the original screen after the game is over. Typevaders can
no longer be interrupted by the break key. Revegame and witpin have
only minor stylistic changes. - The first of the game packages
tsgame12.arc (which includes an introductory management mage) came
out in the binaries in spring 1989. - The third of the packages was
recently announced in comp.binaries.ibm.pc.d for anonymous ftp
downloading from chyde.uwasa.fi and Bill (Davidsen) kindly suggested
that I submit it for posting, as well.
Wed 7-Feb-90: Update tsgmeb12.arc. The update contains a simple
new game where you have to re-arrange the numbers 1-9 back in order
by reversing a given number of digits counted from the beginning of
the string. There is nothing novel in this, rather the contrary,
because this is one of the basic early simple computer games. One
reason for programming this game was that it involves some
programming routines, which I will need later.
Tue 2-Jan-90: Released a new game with an educational / problem
solving flavor for those of you who like to play games with the
computer. The game is called witpin. It is a kind of solitaire
draughts. Witpin.exe is part of the updated tsgmeb11.arc package.
Mon 8-May-89: tsgmeb10.arc is now available containing typevade.exe,
a game for learning fast typing.
