Retro Fever
Following comp.sys.apple2, I saw another announcement from the creator of Lamb Chops, which I mentioned in November. He has released a new game called Retro Fever. It is an arcade style game along the lines of Lamb Chops. I’ve posted…
Pascal Progress
One of the benefits of having worked with Pascal before is it comes back to you. I have worked through the basics of the program structure, constants, variables and creating formulas. I’ve also worked through getting input, writing output and…
