New BASIC programs

[James Harland]

Hi everyone,

I've kept the name of this thread general, so that I can add to it in future, and not spam lots of separate messages. Maybe others will want to add their programs/adaptations too.

I got a very simple program from the Usborne Computer Spy Games book working. I got it working on a BBC emulator first, but the game was kind of too easy, you could easily see the number moving. With my RC2014 Classic ][ version it is much harder, as you have to wait for the screen to be redrawn. This is becuase I have a fairly time-consuming loop to mimic PRINT TAB / PRINT AT behaviour.

I wonder if anyone knows or can think of a less time-consuming method of imitating this behaviour, though in this case the bug has become a feature!

This program also includes my tried and tested INKEY$ replacement.

Anyway the game is called Spy Eyes, and is now up on my Github repo.

Peace,

James
