Most of you may know I've been revisiting my old programs this year. I ended up starting over from zero with this one. The concept is probably old news for long-time Denial members, but I want to share it with newer members. It's all new games with no user programmed characters.
It's a one-button, Skinner box, Wariowarish game.
All BASIC, no memory expansion, uses Keyboard (any key) or Joystick (fire button).

Jeff kindly sent me a preview, been really enjoying it. Even better than the original Game Theory.

Great work! I've been playing this off and on since you posted. I still can't figure out "WHIRL" and "AVOID"... Please, no spoilers

I'm just happy someone noticed the post! haha The games are all very simple in principle. I hope they make sense after a few plays. Maybe I can change those two.

Wow! Frantic gameplay! It's all based on the surprise effect
Jeff, you're able to put a distinctive look and feel in your games. They're all kinda... fast and smooth, if I can say so. People really should learn programming games in BASIC taking yours as examples.

Elegant and very nice. I loved being surprised by a new mini game when you thought you had discovered them all since long. Now I have to try the original

This version is very addictive. The randomization of the minigames keeps me on my toes.

Thanks for playing! I'm having with the RND in line 9. The game seems to start with the same pattern of games and color combinations when first RUN. I usually associate this problem with resetting the clock, TI$. But this time I'm not even using the clock. Shouldn't the random number be more... random?

I had this problem generating random levels that were coming out not so random in a game I've been working on. I ended up placing pointless RND functions into the GET/GOTO loop in my menu routine. This helped produce more randomized levels... unless the player presses the key at the same time from start up every time
Code: Select all
2910 OPEN2,8,2,"0:gom1,s,r"
3010 GETA$
3110 a=int(rnd(1)*5000)+0:b=int(rnd(1)*5000)+0
3210 input#2,m1:input#2,m2:input#2,m3:input#2,m4
3310 ifm1=999then3710
3410 poken+3,m1:poken,m2:poken+1,m3:poken+2,m4
3510 fort=1to25:nextt
3610 goto3810
3710 close2,8,2:goto2910
3810 IFA$=""THEN3010
Line 3110 serves no real purpose within this routine except to spit out random values for a and b so that future values for a and b will seem more random.
