Did some more reading especially the PDF document http://www.survo.fi/papers/puzzles.pdf It appears that the quick way to prune down the number of combinations is to work out partitions or sequences of numbers that fit in specific spaces in the puzzle. I am still rewriting my program but it doesn't ...

I wrote a quick program but it doesn't work as in it never solves the problem. It just swaps what it thinks is best or randomly and that does not work. But it is a start and you can see how I tried to do it. 10 rem note I am ignoring array beginning 0 to make things look simpler 20 dim a(4,4):rem th...

Now my only problem is remembering the different codes and what they produce. As a side note, you can write things such as {10 DOWN} in your listing. It is the same syntax as used by COMPUTE! if I recall correctly. I meant the codes for the special symbols like lines, blocks and circles. My other o...

BASIC conversion into and out of VICE in UNIX
Before I waste time writing a tool that already exists. I want to know if anyone can get BASIC programs into or out of VICE under UNIX. I use Linux and to put BASIC into VICE I have to type it in which can be hard since the PC keyboard does not map well to the VIC one. I cannot get programs out of V...

That article was written by the same Guy W. Lecky-Thompson that wrote the book I mentioned above :) How Bizarre. Anyway in that article he mentions using a frequency table for making up names. Earlier this year I tried the same thing but without the table. Just make names in the following fashion P...

I saw this on Gamasutra a while back and it kinda explains how to do the Elite number generation to create things like names of planets and terrain. It is designed for more modern computers, they use 32bit integers. But I'm sure you can downscale to 16bit. http://gamasutra.com/features/19990917/infi...

I have removed the C64 and C128 and monitor from storage. The C64 I will probably trade to get a VIC20 the C128 is a D version and has internal Floppy Drive and PSU, so I will keep it. I'm not so sure about the monitor. I would prefer to use a LCD and if I really have to buy an LCD/PLASMA TV and use...

I would love to develop on a real Vic-20 but my old one bit the dust due to heat death (and it had missing keys), I think it got thrown out too. I tried looking for it the other day in my parents shed but all I could find was a C64 a C128D and a Commodore Monitor. I could not even find a cassette dr...
