¢ o=o=o=o=o=¢¢ ADDITIONAL PROGRAMS¢¢ This month, while exploring the¢ Internet, I learned of a "copy party"¢ and contest that was held in Orneta,¢ Poland. Within a few days, the¢ organizers of the party had a Web¢ page up, and from this Web page I was¢ able to download many of the entries.¢ There were four categories -- demos¢ (full disks in many cases,) music¢ programs, GFX (picture) files, and¢ so-called intros (short demos.) I've¢ included one such intro, Drunk¢ Chessboard, on this side. The¢ filename is DC.COM. Load it from¢ DOS, and remember that the action on¢ screen ends long after the music.¢¢ The BASIC program activated by the¢ spacebar, in case you haven't already¢ discovered, is a comuter-generated¢ (and played) "Towers of Hanoi"¢ puzzle, from Analog Magazine,¢ September 1989, by way of our copy of¢ the Pooldisk CD-ROM. This program¢ doesn't seem to give the user an¢ opportunity to play, but just¢ watching the program gives you the¢ goal and rules of the Towers puzzle. ¢ Start by typing in "2" at the first¢ prompt. When finished, the "READY"¢ prompt comes up and you can then type¢ "RUN"and "3", and take it from there.¢ If you like this puzzle and want to¢ try your hand at solving it, let me¢ know and I'll try to get another¢ Towers of Hanoi program into a¢ subsequent newsletter.¢¢ There are two additional BASIC¢ programs on this side. Exit to BASIC¢ and try DOGBITE.BAS and JACKS.BAS.¢ They also came from our copy of the¢ Pooldisk CD-ROM.¢ ¢ o=o=o=o=o=¢¢¢¢
