Super StarTrek Code and Manual Available
Daryl Anderson
an ASIC text, non-realtime game from the 1970's (before PC's). I found
the code in an old posting, but it had a lot of problems. Thank you to
Katzy for giving me some pointers on fixing some of the problems with it. I
cleaned up a bunch, added some to it, and wrote a manual. Have fun.
It is at startrek [dot] darylanderson [dot] com

By adding the 'sleep' (why?) command to the listing you have taken away the
possibillity to use gwbasic instead of qbasic. Besides that, it not a very
reliable command, it *could* crash the program.

Bummer about the SLEEP command. I didn't know that gwbasic doesn't like
that command.
The reason I put it in was to add a bit more realism and suspense. So,
would you recomment that
I take it out? Is SLEEP a real non-standard command? It is easily
removed with a few clicks in vi.
Awaiting your reply....

You could have checked it.

That one (1) second wait?

I don't recomment anything, must be your own choice.

It is a standard command, but not very reliable. Things can go wrong, though
not always.
