COLLECTION OF MAGIC
-------------------
COMMODORE POWER/PLAY MAGAZINE
August/September, 1986
Commodore's magazines have a new
department starting this month:
COLLECTION OF MAGIC, a compilation of
short programs, programming tips, and
other items of interest sent in by
Commodore magazine subscribers.
The COLLECTION OF MAGIC contains
these short programs this month:
DICE MACHINE by Tom Hyde
------------------------
In role playing games like "Dungeons
and Dragons" a roll of the dice often
determines your fate. The DICE
MACHINE will give the results
of throwing any number of dice with
any number of sides. DICE MACHINE can
be used as it's presented or converted
into a subroutine for use in other
programs.
If you do use it as a subroutine,
however, make sure you keep the
X=RND(-TI) step that insures you get a
different number sequence each time
you run the program.
FLOWER POWER by Bob and David Snader;
LAMPMAN by Robin Bowness;
CHARGE by Thomas Cechner
------------------------------------
The first two of these novelty
programs present graphics; the third
creates a neat sound effect. All are
designed to cater to your sense of
whimsy.
JUMBLES by Bill Sander
----------------------
Like word puzzles? This program
scrambles the letters of the words you
enter and prints them out on your
printer. Ordinarily, the unscrambled
words are printed out beneath the
puzzle; if you do not wish them to be
printed out, delete the W$(J) in line
260.
DISK DEFAULT by Richard Penn
----------------------------
If this program has been run, you
will not have to type ",8" to use the
disk drive. It changes the default
device number from 1 to 8. You can
also use this program as a subroutine
in your own programs.
Pressing STOP/RESTORE will disable
the utility; SYS679 will reactivate
it.
