RSTS/E (RSX) Yahtzee game?

[sydn...@gmail.com]

Is anyone familiar with this multiplayer RSTS/E / RSX Yahtzee program from the 1980's? I have the .TSK executable which runs flawlessly but would love to find the source code.

All--I am attaching a .zip file of the RSTS/E "graphics" Yahtzee game executable and high-score file (yahtze.tsk & yahtze.sco). You may load these files onto your RSTS/E disk image with various file system tools, including PUTR and RSTSflx. Terminal type of "10" when prompted will get you VT100 emulation. Type "END" when prompted for "number of players" to view high scores. Enjoy!

Thanks for this!

JFTR, it might be easier (and safer!) to use a simulated magnetic tape image that simh can create on-the-fly from data file(s), so that it's RSTS/E itself which is loading and saving the file onto the file system.  You won't need any extra tools to what you already have.

In simh:

sim> att ts -rf DOS11 yahtze.tsk yahtze.sco

In RSTS/E's DCL:

$ mount/over=id ms0:

$ copy ms0:yahtze.* [G,M]

$ dismount/unload ms0:

where [G,M] is the PPN on disk where you want to store the files at.

Disclaimer: I typed the above from memory, as I don't have a running system handy ATM -- so please consider those just as an idea (not an exact recipe!), and adjust accordingly, if I unintentionally messed something up ;-)
