n the recent Readership Survey, I asked you how you use your com- puters. Personal home finances, games, education, and word pro- cessing are the big four computing ac- tivities among Gazette readers. Programming and using databases and other application programs for home or office also are popular.

Some of you went into detail about how your 64 or 128 plays an important part in your daily activities. One reader in Maine had quite a list: letters, labels, budget on a spread- sheet, stamp inventory, household in- ventory, name-and-address databases, family newsletter, games, family tree, greeting cards, horoscopes, bio- rhythms, amortization schedules, and Christmas name tags with a graphic clue as to the contents of the package. “With all this and more, who needs an Amiga?” he asked.

A reader from Kansas City, Mis- souri, who’s employed by a large greeting card company uses three 128s and nine disk drives at home to sup- port his work at the office. GEOS han- dles about 99 percent of his chores.

We received surveys from all across the country, Mexico, and Cana- da, plus a good number from Austral- ia and New Zealand, A subscriber in Sweden had trouble finding software for his 128 until he discovered Ga- zette and started buying items by mail. He uses his computer to keep track of the addresses of friends and relatives and members of his radio club. He says his 128 is also useful for creating party and fox-hunting invitations.

A good many use the 64 for inter- esting and unusual applications. One Canadian reader uses his to pick lot- tery numbers, although he didn’t say if it helped select winning numbers. Another reader has two 64s at work connected to a magnetic-strip reader that controls the electronic locks on two doors. These security-conscious computers have been on the job 24 hours a day since 1985.

If you put your 64 or 128 to an unusual use, why not tell us about it? Describe your application in 500

words or less and send it to me on disk (Commodore ASCII) or printed double-spaced. I’ll print the more in- teresting items in this column or ina separate article. Be sure to include your name, address, and telephone number, preferably one where you can be reached during the day. Send them to Gazette Editor, COMPUTE Publi- cations, 324 West Wendover Avenue, Suite 200, Greensboro, North Caroli- na 27408.

In the survey, I also asked you what you'd like to see in Gazette in the way of articles and programs. Your suggestions covered everything from more beginner material to more advanced programming information. Some wanted more games, while oth- ers asked for anything but games. Re- quests covered the software spectrum.

Games are popular, but many of you want more application software. You want programs that will make your life simpler, tackle some job around the home or office, or control appliances. There were many requests for programs that you could use with hobbies, such as amateur radio, pho- tography, or baseball cards.

In June we published CoilCalc, a CAD program for designing coils for electronic circuits. We liked CoilCalc but felt it would appeal only to ham radio operators. I would appreciate your comments on this type of pro- gram. Should we publish similar niche applications or stick to programs with more universal appeal?

GEOS is another area of strong interest. Since many of you asked for GEOS-related programs and articles, I’m seeking qualified writers and pro- grammers to supply material. Several GEOS columns are already in the works and should be ready soon.

Here’s your chance, program- mers. Games, GEOS programs, and application software for the 64—and especially the 128—are in big de- mand. Send your programs, with in- structions printed out and saved on disk, to Gazette Submissions Review- er at the above address. We want to purchase and publish your programs. O

NEWS & NOTES

What’s New on Q-Link?

Interactive game players and casino fans have something new to check out on Quantum-Link. Puzzler is a word game for two to four players. Contes- tants spin a slot machine and guess the letters in a puzzle that appears on the tile board. Correct guesses cause the corresponding tiles to turn, reveal- ing their location. The object of the game is to solve the puzzle before your opponents do and to earn as many points as possible in the process.

Players appear as animated con- testants behind podiums. Online and offline character editors are available for Q-Link members to design and ani- mate their own contestants. They can also create and submit their own puz- zles for inclusion in the game’s database.

Puzzler, Puzzle Editor, and Con- testant Editor can all be downloaded from the Backstage Puzzler support area in Just for Fun. Other information and instructions can be found there, also.

Q-Link has also added enhance- ments to its four popular casino games. These new tools give the casi- No staff the opportunity to change the stakes in Blackjack, Poker, Bingo, and Slots. In addition, they have two new options in Bingo—the new Cover All game, where the entire card must be covered, or the standard Straight Line play.

In order to make distinctions be- tween the kinds of games being played and the amount of Q-Chips needed to register or ante, check the color of the background screen or the dealer's hand. Various screen colors identify the different games and amounts. Check with Q-Link for com- plete details.

Quantum-Link (8619 Westwood Center Drive, Vienna, Virginia 22182; 703-448-8700) is a Commodore 64/128-specific online service.

Tee Up!

Are you an average golfer aware of your imperfections? If so, then check out Personal Pro ($39.95) from MicroLeague Sports (2201 Drummond Plaza, New- ark, Delaware 19711-5711).

This interactive instructional golf package, which is due out in October, ana- lyzes, diagnoses, and corrects your problem areas. Personal Pro displays ani- mated diagrams of problems and solutions, records a file of your personal golf history, and prints out problem/solution checklists that you can take with you to the course or practice tee.

Unlike ordinary golfing manuals and instructional videos that try to teach you how to build a perfect swing—someone else’s swing—Personal Pro is designed for the average golfer. It reviews the mistakes of each round and offers instant advice on how to correct them. Handicapping disks will also be available.

NEWS & NOTES

Color Me Ninja

Those turtles are back! Merit Software (13635 Gamma Road, Dallas, Texas 75244) has released Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ World Tour ($14.95). This Electronic Crayon Deluxe release contains 30 pictures of those reinforced rep- tiles visiting famous world landmarks such as the Statue of Liberty, Mount Rush- more, and Stonehenge.

Children can color each picture again and again. They can also print ban- ners, as well as posters and calendars, of their favorite turtle scenes.

Bible Study

SOGWAP Software (115 Bellmont Road, Decatur, Indiana 46733) is now ship- ping Bible Search version 3.1 ($79.95) for the 64 and 128. Bible Search is de- signed for general Bible study and in-depth Bible research. Its versatile search option can find any word or verse in the Bible in five seconds or less using a 1541. No hard disk or additional RAM is required for this fast performance.

Bible Search comes on seven double-sided disks with both 64 and 128 pro- grams. Nearly 4.5 megabytes of Old and New Testament ASCII text has been compressed and indexed for use.

Other features include instant spelling check of the entire word list of more than 12,800 words. Search features include pattern matching, plus AND, OR, and NOT Boolean operators. Text can be displayed and scrolled in any direction. Printer and disk output are available for any verse. Disk output produces stand- ard sequential text files for use with word-processing programs.

Bible Search is available in either the Authorized King James Version or the New International Version. It includes programs for the 64 and 128, a user's guide, and a disk storage case.

Trouble with a Capital B

UBI SOFT and Electronic Arts (1820 Gateway Drive, San Mateo, California 94404) have released B.A.T., which stands for the Bureau of Astral Trouble- shooters. You become one of the bureau's agents as you try to save the planet Selenia's only city, Terrapolis, from extinction.

Vrangor, a top scientist, and Mergio, a small-time crook, have announced their intention to set off bacterial bombs all over the city. This ultimatum leaves the government only ten days to evacuate the city and draw up a deed of owner- ship in Vrangor's name. Selenia contains vital energy matter that makes space travel possible. It's up to you to try to foil Vrangor’s evil plans.

In this game, which comes on two double-sided disks, you can visit more than 1100 different locations, including discos, gunsmiths, restaurants, arcades, and parks. You can also program a computer implanted in your arm to under- stand extraterrestrial languages or to warn you when enemy robots approach. Create your own character or select one ready to go into action. You can also pi- lot the DRAG, a genuine flight simulator, across the planet's desert.

New Distributor

The DMBBS bulletin board program for the 64 or 128, formerly owned and dis- tributed by ARTISoft, is now owned and distributed by A & C Enterprises, P.O. Box 71, Beachwood, New Jersey 08722-0071; (908) 349-9187 (voice), (908) 341- less (BBS).

How McFly Times

You won't need a DeLorean to take Marty McFly and Doc back and forth through time in this game. With a little help from Konami (900 Deerfield Park- way, Buffalo Grove, Illinois 60089), all you'll need is Back to the Future II ($29.95) and your 64.

Go back to 2015 to help save Marty and Jennifer's kids from them- selves, the police, bully Biff and his gang of hoodiums, and Griff—Biff's evil grandson. You'll have lots of “items o' energy,” ‘products o' points," and momentum boosters like plutonium, beverage cans, and your trusty tennies.

Featuring authentic re-creations of scenes and items from the film, Back to the Future II is really five games in one with each level—such as Jennifer's House of Fate and the Chase of a Lifetime—depicting a new chapter in the story.

Levels 1, 3, and 5 include arcade action where you'll need your hover- craft to fend off Biff's band of thugs. Levels 2 and 4 are logic puzzles that test your memory and ability to antici- pate events. If you've seen the movie, you're one step ahead.

in Orbit

Edgeworth Software (44 Bower Street, Bedford MK40 3RE, England) has an- nounced E.S. Realorbit ($7), a gravita- tional orbit simulator. Use your thruster jets to steer a spacecraft through a star’s gravitational field. Try to achieve circular and elliptical orbits; then maneuver through a double star system. You can trace orbits and se- lect jet power, star mass, distance be- tween binary stars, and colors with this entertaining and educational simulator.

Edgeworth Software has recently left the U.S. and opened shop in Eng- land. Simon Edgeworth assures his 64/128 customers that all his products are still available and will remain com- patible with U.S. computers. He ac- cepts U.S. funds, either check or money order, and will ship all orders by airmail at no extra charge.

dventure games make up almost a third of the game releases for

all computers. Arcade/action games make up another third, and the remaining third is divided between sports and simulations. These percent- ages apply to 64 software as well. Let’s take a look at the interesting adventure-game segment of the indus- try and see what’s happening.

Because of their complexity and the demands they can make on play- ers, adventure games are not for everyone. Still, there are some recent games that deserve mention. B.A.T. from UBI Soft, Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure from Capstone, and The Keys to Maramon from Mindcraft are all fun games that cover a broad range of subject matter and difficulty levels. True adventure fans will want to check out several SSI releases and the latest from Origin, Ultima VI.

Save the City

B.A.T. stands for Bureau of Astral Troubleshooters, of which you are a member. Your job is to save the city Terrapolis on the planet Selenia from destruction at the hand of Vrangor, a mad scientist, and his crooked side- kick, Merigo. This evil duo plans to detonate nucturobiogenic bombs within ten days unless the city and all its assets are turned over to them.

Visit more than 1000 locations in B.A.T. and interact with seven species.

The game has a futuristic setting and an unusual interface that actually works well. B.A.T. is played with a point-and-click interface that uses menus and icons. In addition, items found in the game can be examined by clicking on them. Indeed, only by examining everything you see on the screen will you be able to play B.A.T. successfully. The game is huge. The game box claims 1100 rooms, and from what I’ve seen, this figure could be accurate. This variety keeps B.A.T. interesting for hours.

The first thing you do in B.A.T. is create your character. As is not the case ina lot of other games, your alter ego in B.A.T. is extremely well developed.

G8 COMPUTE YW ye

It takes a while to set up your charac- ter, but the time spent will surely re- sult in a better representation of yourself. In addition to all of the standard adventure-game options that can be brought up in the menus, you also have access to B.O.B., a bidirec- tional organic bioputer that connects to your arm. B.O.B. lets you translate languages and examine your statistics and health. You program B.O.B. with a rudimentary language that will in- form you of various conditions and enable it to perform other functions.

The graphics in B.A.T. are pretty good for the 64. And even after you’ve managed to defeat Vrangor, you can still have fun exploring the city.

Adventure Calls

Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure is primarily a movie tie-in, but the game is still worthwhile because of its ran- dom elements and the different skill levels allowed. In this game, you con- trol the title characters as they attempt to collect “historical dudes” from the past for a school project. Different skill levels determine how many peo- ple you must collect. As you gather these historical characters, you return them to the San Dimas Mall. When you’ve gotten your quota, you take them to school.

You control Bill and Ted from a three-dimensional side view, using a telephone booth and circuits of time to travel throughout history. Some of the destinations involve completing arcade sequences. Others only require the use of a correct object to attract one of the “historical dudes.” The quicker you reach your goal, the more points you earn.

I'll be honest. The graphics in B & T leave a lot to be desired. The 64 can handle better. Music and other sound are almost nonexistent. The game does not look appealing, yet gameplay is addictive. I found myself wanting to play B & T again at a high- er difficulty level to see how quickly I could finish the game. Because each game of B & Tis different, it’s worth- while playing again and again. A typi- cal game doesn’t take very long.

B & Tisa great diversion, if you don’t mind graphics that look like they were poorly ported from the IBM version.

Rampaging Monsters

Mindcraft has a different way of thinking about adventure games. Its games take almost no effort to play yet have a lot to make them interest- ing. In fact, much about The Keys to Maramon is not evident on the sur- face. The manual is brief and explains only the basics. The rest of the game is left for you to discover. You can al- most play Keys without reading the

ORO

instructions at all, but it’s still wise to go through them.

Keys puts you in the role of an adventurer who must save the town of Maramon from the monsters that rampage every night after dark. The game takes place in town and in the dungeons beneath. It requires a quick hand and well-balanced character to confront the monsters.

The game takes place in pseudo realtime. You have 12 hours to kill all of the monsters each night, or a build- ing will be damaged. If they do too much damage to the town, the game’s over. Budgeting your time is impor- tant, so don’t think too long while the clock is ticking.

Champions of Krynn cuts unnecessary violence from many of its scenarios.

Keys is a fast-paced game. You have potions and herbs to increase speed, strength, dexterity, armor, and life points. As the nights wear on, you'll need these aids to help you clear the town. Character interaction in the game is limited to conversation, but most people you encounter will offer valuable information. This moves the plot along.

You move your character around from an overhead view of the town and dungeons. Movement is quick and smooth. The graphics are nice, and you can easily identify each object and monster. After a couple of nights pass, you will know the town well enough to put away the map in the manual. Keys is not very difficult and can be played rather quickly. Explor- ing Maramon and discovering new things makes Keys enjoyable.

Advanced Dungeons & Dragons One company that still supports the 64 is Strategic Simulations, Incorpo- rated, more popularly known as SSI. With over ten years in the business and a large library of titles, SSI has journeyed through time with Commo- dore computers. In the past two years, SSI has produced a number of fine role-playing adventure games for the 64, most of which have been in its Ad- vanced Dungeons & Dragons line of

games. Using different-colored boxes to represent different types of

AD & D adventures, SSI has a good variety of adventures.

The gold boxes contain large role- playing epics. Avoid two early games, Pool of Radiance and Curse of the Azure Bonds, unless you like an inor- dinate amount of combat. Two later games, Champions of Krynn and Se- cret of the Silver Blades, eliminate un- necessary combat and significantly improve the interface.

The two silver-box products are action games, with less role-playing el- ements and more arcade elements. Both are good, but Dragons of Flame is a big improvement over Heroes of the Lance.

War of the Lance in the green box is a war game in the fantasy world, so don’t be deceived. The white-box game, Hillsfar, combines arcade and role-playing elements in a game with low difficulty and high fun factors.

HIGHLORD HOVENntnT SEP/0CT 353

SSI's War of the Lance is a war game set in the world of fantasy.

Finally, SSI’s latest AD & D game is Dragon Strike, a dragon flight simulator in the Dragonlance gaming world. It’s more arcade game than anything else; don’t let the word simu- /ator throw you. If AD & D games aren’t your bag, try some of the older SSI titles, like Phantasie, Wizard's Crown, and the Questron series.

Lord British

Origin has also been a strong support- er of the 64. Almost all of its past games have been converted from IBM versions or developed on the 64.

Given the amount of time and re- sources required to develop adven- tures on the scale of Origin’s Ultima series, it came as a surprise to me when Origin announced Ultima VI for the 64 before it released the Amiga version.

The Ultima series is one of the most popular adventure game series, and much of the credit for that success is due to the creativity and imagina- tion of chief designer Richard “Lord British” Garriott. Each game in the se-

G10 COMPUTE LU a

ries has far surpassed the previous one in most areas, including size, plot, in- terface, and graphics. Ultima VI is no different in this regard. As far as 64 adventures go, Ultima VI is at the top. This game can take months to ex- plore, and all the time you're getting your money’s worth. That’s value.

Through a Moon Gate

In Ultima VI, your character must stop the spread of gargoyles that have slipped through a moon gate into the realm of Britannia. That’s the basic plot, but more unfolds as you enter the game. Britannia is about as large as it was in Ultima V, but this time, instead of playing the game on two scales, you play it entirely from an overhead view of the characters and their surroundings.

The graphics are smooth, and it feels more natural to move around in one scale than it does in previous Ul- tima games that only show the indi- vidual characters in towns, dungeons, and other buildings. The past games jump to a map view of the game whenever the party travels into the wilderness. Because you can’t see far ahead in Ultima VI, the cloth map comes in handy.

In addition to the overhead view- point, the objects and other graphics in Ultima VI are very nice. You can’t distinguish objects in your inventory as well as you can larger objects in rooms, but this is no problem since you can examine objects effortlessly.

The interface in Ultima VI is an improvement over that in earlier epi- sodes. Unlike the IBM version, which employs icons for all of the game commands, the 64 version requires keystrokes for commands. However, the number of commands has been re- duced by the addition of a Use com- mand, which replaces many others.

To use an object, just hit the U key and move the crosshairs to select an object from your inventory or one next to your character. This is the way to open doors, move levers, throw switches, and equip your character with weapons, armor, and other items necessary to survival and success.

Old Friends Return Accompanying you in Ultima VI are characters from past games, namely Shamino, Iolo, and Dupre. Lord Brit- ish starts you on your quest and can be consulted at any time for infor- mation. Object manipulation is easily accomplished from an inventory screen that readily identifies which object your character is carrying and which ones are nearby. It is best to distribute supplies to each character so no one is weighed down and you don’t have to keep switching objects.

UG? ii

When the time comes, it’s easy to fight in Ultima VI. Just choose a com- bat option and use the cursor to select a monster. Each monster has its own representative theme.

Ultima VI is a game chock full of characters, objects, locations, and dungeons. Characters follow a certain daily pattern. Some game objects are hidden behind paintings, under plants or crates. Discovering new things is what Ultima VI is all about.

You may never finish the game because of its size and scope, but de- signer Garriott doesn’t care. (He'll give you a synopsis of this game in the manual of his next one.) Garriott be- lieves it’s more important for you to enjoy yourself exploring a rich world full of adventure. He’s confident that there is much that you can do and gives you lots of room for discovery and pleasure.

HAUGHTY

SSI's Curse of the Azure Bonds is a role- playing epic filled with combat.

Ultima VI meets Garriott’s crite- ria, and the game may be the largest adventure for the 64. It definitely is the most ambitious. Disk swapping is kept to a minimum in order to de- crease the frustration factor. Sounds are appropriately scattered throughout the game, and the music is infectious. What results is a graphically rich world, full of places to go and things to see, where you can escape for min- utes or hours. Plus, if you act now, you can probably still get the Special Edition of the game, celebrating the tenth anniversary of Ultima. This ver- sion is signed by the author and box artist. It contains an audio cassette of the history of Ultima narrated by Gar- riott and a higher-quality gemstone than that found in regular versions.

As you can see, adventure gam- ing for the 64 is alive and well. These are just a few of the many games out there. Ultima VI is my favorite, but the others are all fun and can be com- pleted in a reasonable amount of time. In any case, if you’re looking for a quest, try an adventure game. They’re better than they were just a year ago. Happy questing! ic)

TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES

ey, dudes, how would you like to battle evil enemies in New York’s dangerous sewers? Sure it’s a dirty job, but that doesn’t mean you won’t enjoy playing Ultra’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

MUA

=f |

NA 1 UAE

Based on the famous movies, TV show, and comic books, this action- packed arcade game will give you hours of enjoyment. Raphael, Michel- angelo, Leonardo, and Donatello are ready for your control. As the game begins, you must help these four pizza-loving turtles rescue their be- loved friend, April O’Neil, who was abducted by the evil villain Shredder. You must rescue April, destroy Shred- der, and take his life transformer gun to win.

Along the streets and sewers of New York, you guide the turtles to where April may be held hostage. You control their every move. Many evil creatures lurk about, so be prepared to fight. Mousers, Roller Cars, Foot Clan Soldiers, and many more foes are waiting to capture your reptilian war- riors. Some enemies are easily de- stroyed, while others are not.

Strategy is important. Each of the four turtles has unique skills and weapons. Thus, one turtle may be bet- ter able to handle a particular enemy

or situation than another. For ex- ample, Leonardo would be the best choice for battles in the sewers, since he’s expert at using a Katana Blade.

Besides the multitude of enemies, there are many useful items to be found during your quest. These in- clude various weapons, rope, a party wagon, and best of all... awesome pizza!

An information screen can be ac- cessed at any time during the game. This important screen will help you throughout the game, and you should check it on a regular basis. Turtle information includes those who are available and what weapons they are using. There’s also a map that shows your position. Messages from your friends give you useful hints on what to do next.

Your turtles must make it through six levels of combat without being captured. Each level has differ- ent phases to complete before you can move on to the next level. Looking at playability from this standpoint, the game can be rather difficult. Joystick movements for combat and travel throughout the game are, however, generally basic and simple. In this re- spect, I find the game easy to play.

After reading the short manual that comes with the game, you'll quickly be on your way to action and adventure. The manual is easy to un- derstand and provides you with the necessary information. It tells you about the game controls, displays sample screens, lists the useful items to be found, and describes each ene- my you will combat.

The sound and graphics are good. Most characters and items in the game are displayed clearly on the screen, and the background music is entertaining as well.

While it does not get high marks for plot originality, this arcade game is fun to play and provides many hours of entertainment. So, dudes, if you’re up for some radical ninja action, just

PRINTED GIRCUIT BOARD-64

nce again, I’ve stumbled across a

64 program that takes that won-

derful machine into an entirely

new area: printed circuit board (PCB) design and layout. Although it lacks some of the power and options of PCB programs used in the work world, Printed Circuit Board-64 from MicroSentinel Systems does an im- pressive job on a 64 or 128.

This program is designed for the electronics hobbyist. If you need to put together a simple circuit board for some home project, it should take no longer to enter it into the computer than it does to devise it in the first place.

I must make a confession. I make a living as an engineer, and I’m famil- iar with circuit boards from college classes and from fixing arcade games and pinball machines for my brother’s

former vending business. For this rea- son, I expected to have no problem with PCB-64, but I wasn’t too sure about people who lack those skills. What I found is that the program is easy for anybody to use, regardless of level of experience. PCB-64 is best suited for hobbyists and circuit-board designers who want to get a head start on a project at home without having to use the company computer.

The package contains two main parts: the Layout Editor and the Art- work Editor. The former contains the tools and options to create your print- ed circuit board. The latter lets you add text, tweak the pad, trace sizes, and optimize the sizes of all compo- nents. Both programs are very simple to learn. You almost don’t have to use the concisely written manual. With each program, you see a portion of the circuit board in the viewing screen and a list of commands along the right side of the screen. Select these com- mands with the keyboard and draw with the mouse or joystick.

A circuit board consists of pads (terminal points), traces (wires), and components (integrated circuit chips, resistors, and so on). The purpose of PCB layout is to design the board to accommodate the most electronic

components in the smallest space pos- sible. You could almost make a game out of PCB layout, with the object being optimization of space using a certain number of components.

PCB-64 lets you design two-sided circuit boards that can be as large as 8.8 X 6.4 inches. An important feature of PCB-64 is that it allows you to scale the board to meet the specifications of many types and brands of printers. With a paint program interface that gives you pads and traces to define a board, the program is complete.

The other big feature of PCB-64 is a list that the program generates upon request of all of the labels associ- ated with components and their coor- dinates on the screen. Although PCB- 64 is not a program many people would use, it’s a great little niche product. It lives up to its claims and will more than meet the specifica- tions of someone who needs a low- cost circuit-board editor.

BLOCKOUT

or a perplexing challenge that ex-

ercises the brain instead of joystick

reflexes, try Blockout. I highly rec-

ommend it to those of you who are looking for something more than just another shoot-’em-up.

Block Out will tax your hand-eye coordination. (IBM version pictured.)

This game has a lot to offer—and it’s not another Tetris clone. By taking the Tetris concept and making it three-dimensional, Blockout expands the old concept and takes it the next logical step.

As in Tetris, the object of the game is to drop irregularly shaped pieces into a pit. If you manage to fill

FUTONS

ISIRO COMPUTE G13

a level across the pit, that level van- ishes, and you win bonus points.

Sounds simple, huh? It’s not. Simplicity disappears as you advance and the game picks up speed. Pieces that used to float into the pit like feathers begin to drop like stones. I was quite happy reaching level 5, the pinnacle of my Blockout career.

Blockout’s graphics are relatively simple but more than adequate for gameplay. The blocks themselves are 3-D, starting out as rotatable wire- frame objects that solidify into col- ored layers as they reach the bottom of the pit. Your goal is to fill a layer so that it can be removed. If the shapes pile up and reach the top of the pit, you lose.

Blockout expands on the Tetris concept by offering you a selection of three sets of blocks. The sets range in

Some of the predefined games are de- scribed as Flat Fun (flat blocks), 3-D Mania (3-D blocks), and Out of Con-

shape from the simple to the complex.

REVIEWS

trol (abnormal blocks). You can create a pit of your own dimensions and make a custom game. Any of the three block sets (Flat, Basic, or Extended) can be used in your custom pit.

Parameters for rotation speed and sound can be customized. Prac- tice mode lets you play Blockout with- out having the pieces fall into the pit, thus giving you time to get used to the keyboard controls. Demo mode lets your computer show you how to play. Help is available to display the game’s controls.

Blockout keeps track of your score. The ten high scores for each kind of pit (dimensions and block set) are saved to disk. The game’s play- ability is good, but a little less key- board control would’ve been nice. While this isn’t a great handicap, using a joystick to control the game would’ve made it easier to play. As it stands, the joystick is used only for the program’s menus, and some of the menu options are not even available

to the keyboard user.

One thing I can say about Block- out is that if you don’t own it, get it. It’s a most perplexing puzzle that will be a favorite for years to come. So toss out those boring shoot-’em-ups and head for the computer store. Pick this one up—you won’t regret it!

in the February 1991 issue of COM- PUTE, a reader would get the idea that there are both Amiga and Gazette sections in each issue, but there aren’t. Why the discrepancy, and how often will a section turn up missing?

TODD MOORE PIEDMONT, MO.

This was explained last year in “64/128 View” (October 1990), but since there still seems to be some con- fusion, we'll repeat it. After General Media purchased the four magazines we produced at COMPUTE! Publica- tions, the four were merged into one basic COMPUTE magazine. There are different versions, however.

Ifyou are a Gazette subscriber, we send you COMPUTE with the Com- modore 64/128 material in the Ga- zette section. Amiga Resource subscribers get COMPUTE and the Amiga section. PC subscribers get COMPUTE with the PC section. If you subscribe to COMPUTE, you get all the sections, but without the Ga- zette type-in programs. For those peo- ple who may have several different computers, including a 64 or 128, we offer a multiversion edition that con- tains all the material, including the type-in programs.

Until recently, the Gazette and Amiga sections were also available in the newsstand editions. Now they are available only by subscription and in certain computer stores: Babbage’s, Software Etc., and Software Boutique. From time to time some editions may contain additional sections. Since we use the same advertisers index for all editions, you'll see the references to all the different editions. On occasion, subscribers may receive the wrong ver- sion. If this happens, please contact our subscription office at (800) 727- 6937.

Amiga. Unfortunately, the terminal program I have for the 64 doesn’t seem to be able to transfer the Speed- Script files. What do you recommend?

MICHAEL W. BELL ROCKFORD, IL

The problem of converting Commo- dore-specific text files to true ASCII (American Standard Code for Infor- mation Interchange) is a recurring one. The reason for making the con- version usually involves transferring files from one brand of computer to an- other. The 64 and 128 derive their character set from a time when ASCII wasn't the de facto standard it is today, and the big players took no pride in be- ing compatible. Consequently, the 8- bit Commodores confuse upper- and lowercase, neglect common characters such as the brace and underscore, and even assign some odd character codes to the characters that they do have. The remedy is to run a program that converts Commodore character codes—commonly called PETSCII after the original Commodore PET— into true ASCII.

There are several such programs available, and usually they read from and write to sequential files. But SpeedScript adds a little more com- plexity to the situation by using its own special codes for formatting, han- dling text itself in an atypical fashion, and writing program files instead of sequential files. SpeedScript does offer two ways around this problem. It will write PETSCII sequential files if you print the file to the disk by pressing Shift-Control-P and then D (for disk) at the prompt. If you press Control-£ and then the A key on the first line of your document and then print it to disk, the file will be saved as a true ASCII file and will be easy to upload .

Also, I have a Blue Chip (BCD 5.25) disk drive that gives erroneous characters when I add a spreadsheet or game scores. I have several spread- sheets that will not work. I would ap- preciate hearing from other people who may have similar problems with their Blue Chip drives.

DENNIS LONG MANASSAS, VA

Cartridges, such as the Soft Group's Super Cartridge Explode V.5 and LMS's Super Snapshot V5, offer screen dumps and many more fea- tures. CMD’ JiffyDOS also has a screen-dump option. Advertisements for these products can be found in re- cent issues of this magazine. If you have back issues of Gazette, check for a type-in program called PrintScreen (December 1987). It also offered a cus- tomizer program for different printers. There was also a program called Hi- Res Screen Dump (October 1984) for 1525 or compatible printers.

We have never heard of a disk drive's being responsible for erroneous characters in spreadsheets or game scores. Are you certain you’ve entered the formulas correctly? If any other readers have experienced similar prob- lems, we'll be happy to pass their infor- mation on to you.

Nifty Jiffy

I was pleased to see Art Hunkins’s fa- vorable review of Creative Micro De- sign’s JiffyDOS 6.0 in the December 1990 issue. It’s a terrific system, but I have to take issue with him on several points.

First, his apparent horror at the idea of replacing soldered-in ROM chips. What’s the big deal? I did it twice in old 64s. No sweat. Just use common sense and a good soldering tool to pull the ROMs, a low-watt iron to solder the new sockets, and gentle- ness when inserting the new chips. It’s nothing that an experienced amateur or technician couldn’t do in ten min- utes. That’s all it took me, and I’m no

Second, save-with-replace routine. That com- mand works fine in my machine. All I do is have the révised program in memory, hit fl for the direc- tory, cursor to the filename, insert three spaces be- tween the open quotes and the filename, type @0:, hit f6, and then hit Return. It’s quite convenient.

Third, validate and format speeds. They defi- nitely are improved on my 1541.

I do have some minor bones to pick with CMD. I wish it had retained the function-key RUN and LIST commands as in previous versions and relegated TLIST and LOAD ML to program-mode commands.

Otherwise, all’s great, and kudos to COM- PUTE for the new design.

RICHARD VAN FRANK. MONTCLAIR, NJ

Once you have some experience with a soldering iron, removing ROM chips and soldering in new ones without damaging anything may not be such a difficult task. But it’s not the place for a beginner to start. If you have a newer 64 with chips that slide in and out of their sockets, installing the JiffvDOS re- placements is a snap. CMD recommends you check to see which type you have before ordering JiffyDOS.

Replace is my favorite command. It changes BASIC commands, num- bers, or anything in quotes, excluding commas and quotation marks. For ex- ample, if you were to enter REPLACE “FOR J”, “FOR K”, it would change J to K in FOR-NEXT loops.

Mangled Memory

Iam working on a game program that uses redefined characters on the 64. The program also uses three-dimen- sional arrays. I have a problem with the screen elements turning to garbage after it runs for a while. A few reverse characters can be identified, but that’s it. Can you help? Is it a problem with memory?

AL FREEMAN MIAMI, FL

It sounds like you are experiencing a memory conflict. You've put new char- acter shapes used in your game into a certain block of memory. As the pro- gram runs and uses different variables, BASIC stores these variables in the same memory where the character shapes are stored. This causes the indi- vidual character shapes to turn to gar- bage. Reverse character shapes are in the second half of the character set, so they are the last ones to be garbled.

Gi8 COMPUTE UEUS ES Y?

FEEDBACK

The Video Interface Chip (VIC- II) handles all the video-related chores, including the display of character shapes. This chip can access only 16K of memory at atime. The default video bank is 0 (from location 0 to 16383), which means the screen, custom char- acter shapes, and sprites must all re- side in that same 16K block. Since a complete character set uses 2048 bytes, it’s common to use the 2K at the top of the video bank for that purpose. This puts the custom characters at 14338-16383.

A 64’s BASIC is built into a con- tinuous section of memory. The 64 uses locations 0-1023 for its own pur- poses, and screen memory and sprite pointers occupy 1024-2047. The first byte available for BASIC is 2048. Read Only Memory (ROM) starts at 40960. So under normal circum- stances BASIC controls the 38,911 bytes of the memory from 2048 to 40959,

What about the custom charac- ters that are stored at 14336-16383? They are in the middle of the block of memory BASIC expects to use as its own. This is where the problem arises with your custom characters turning to garbage when your program runs. BASIC expects to use this area for its own purposes. As it uses more and more variables, memory fills up, and before long your character shapes have been overwritten by BASIC.

There are a couple of things you can do to get around this problem. Move the characters to another loca- tion, or move BASIC. Moving the character sets requires moving the vid- eo banks, which also means you have to move the screen and the HIBASE pointer at 648. If you do this, then you have to either disable the Restore key or avoid pressing Run/Stop-Restore. Most programmers find it easier to move BASIC to another location. To transfer the start of BASIC from 2048 to 16384 (which is just past the end of your character set), enter the following lines in direct mode before you load your program:

An ST Magazine? First of all, I want to say that I’m not precisely happy with your decision to

TSS ST

integrate Gazette into COMPUTE. Of course, I understand your decision, since there are fewer 64 owners; that means fewer subscribers. But I think you're going to lose more subscribers with this decision. Time will tell. Any- way, I’ll probably renew my subscrip- tion, since I don’t know of any good Commodore-only magazine other than yours.

The main purpose of this letter is not to complain, however. I’ve just bought an Atari 520 ST (I'll keep my good old 128), and I was wondering if you publish any ST-specific maga- zines or books.

JOSE LUIS REGUEIRO MONTEVIDEO, URUGUAY

As 8-bit Commodore users upgrade to other systems, they also make changes in the computer magazines that they buy. It’s true that Gazette doesn’t have as many subscribers as it did when in- terest in the 64 was at its peak, but a more significant problem is the shrink- ing number of advertisers. For most publications to remain healthy, they must have advertisers as well as sub- scribers. Look at a Gazette from a few years ago and then look at this issue. Compare the number of ads for Com- modore-related products.

By combining Gazette with COMPUTE, which now has a PC fo- cus (and more advertisers), we can somewhat offset the loss in 64 advertis- ing revenue and yet still provide Com- modore owners with the useful, entertaining, and informative material that they want.

From 1986 until 1988, we pub- lished COMPUTE!’s Atari ST Maga- zine with a companion disk. It failed to attract sufficient advertisers or a large enough base of subscribers to re- main profitable. Back issues of the magazine and disk are still available. The price for each magazine and disk combination is $8. Foreign orders should add $6 for postage.

Like to move to 64 mode without los- ing the current BASIC program? It’s easy. Simply enter the following commands:

POKE 43,1 POKE 44,28

These POKE statements tell the 64 portion of your computer that the current BASIC program may be found in memory at 7169 ($1C01), the de- fault location in 128 mode.

Timely Program Saves This util.ty programs one of your computer’s function keys so that it saves the current BASIC program to disk. To keep successive saves sepa- rate, the elapsed time is added to the end of the program’s filename.

When you run this utility, you are asked to enter a filename and a function-key number. As an example, enter MYPROGRAM,, 5 (the 5 speci- fies the f5 key). Answer Yes at the RE- SET CLOCK prompt. Next, load the program you want to edit, make your changes, and then press f5. If 20 min- utes and 32 seconds have elapsed, your program will be saved to disk using the filename MYPROGRAM 002032. Now let’s say you make addi- tional changes which take exactly 5 minutes. When you press f5, the pro- gram is saved with the filename MYPROGRAM 002532.

Double-Spaced Listings

With the 128’s expanded memory, programs can reach enormous lengths. Large BASIC listings can be- come quite a headache to debug, too. The following function-key definition can help out. After executing the code below, pressing the f7 key prints a double-spaced program listing to the screen.

KEY 7,“OPEN128,3: CMD128:LIST:CLOSE128: A?+CHRS(13)

Note the A at the end of the func- tion-key string. This forces a syntax error which resets the computer’s text output to normal, single-spaced print- ing. Without this A, strange side ef- fects occur. If you’d like the option to list a specific range of program lines, use these function-key definitions:

KEY 7,“OPEN128,3: CMD128:LIST” KEY 8,“:CLOSE128: A”+CHRS(13)

To use these keys, press f7, enter the line-number range you want to list (or don’t enter anything if you want to list the entire program), and then press f8.

rogramming hi-res graphics on

the Commodore 64 or 128 (in 40-

column mode) has always been a

mystery to newcomers. The most confusing thing about the Commo- dore hi-res screen is the fact that it isn’t laid out the way you might ex- pect. The eighth pixel on the top row of the screen appears next to the ninth, but they are actually eight bytes apart. As you might expect, plotting points on a screen like this can in- volve some pretty complicated math.

This month’s column should make it crystal clear. Given X (0-319) pixels from the left of the screen, and Y (0-199) pixels from the top, the cal- culation goes as follows. Divide X and Y by 8 (keeping the remainders XR and YR). The quotients represent the row (0-39) and column (0-24) of the character cell in which the pixel is lo- cated. Multiply the Y quotient by 40 and add the X quotient; that gives the character cell number. Multiply this result by 8 to get the byte number for the start of the graphics cell memory; add YR to get the actual byte. The re- sulting number, from 0 to 7999, deter- mines the byte within graphic memory. Add the graphics base to get the actual address. The XR value will tell us which of the eight bits will be involved.

It sounds complex, but it can be worked out neatly in machine lan- guage. Multiplying and dividing by 8 is just a matter of three shifts, left or right. Dividing by a value such as 8, the remainder is even easier: The AND function will extract it for us. Looking more closely, we see that a division by 8 is followed by a multi- plication by 8; that provides another shortcut.

In fact, multiplying by 40 seems to be the hardest part, and that’s just multiplying by 5 and then by 8.

Assuming that the graphics base is at address $2000, and that the user will POKE values of X into addresses 78 (high byte, $4E) and 79 (low, $4F), and POKE Y into address 80 ($50).

The calculated value is in the A register (low) and address $FD (high). Next you want to multiply by 8, so

continue to use A. A loop is possible, but straight code is easy.

The three low bits of the A regis- ter must be 0. We want to add the val- ue in A to the value in $FC and $FD, and then add the Y remainder that we stored long ago in address $52. These values have no bits in common, so we can combine them and save a step using the ORA instruction.

In the above coding, the carry flag has been doing exactly the right thing ev- ery time. A happy occurence.

Address FC/FD contains the ad- dress of the byte for manipulation. You'll need this bit-lookup table.

BEGINNER BASIC

Ithough we studied this not long ago, we'll continue our BASIC math with a review of the some- what arcane, but nevertheless

quite useful, trigonometric functions sine, cosine, and tangent (or SIN, COS, and TAN, as they are used in BASIC). But first a brief course in trigonometry.

Triangles are the reasons trig ex- ists. Without those ubiquitous three- sided figures, SIN, COS, and TAN probably would never have been in- vented. In the good old days, you had two methods for finding various sides and angles in triangles: trigonometry tables in books and a slide rule. Thanks to calculators and computers, trig functions are now a mere keypress away and more accurate than either the slide rule or tables. SIN, COS, and TAN can handle most triangulation problems you’d want to solve. Yes, there are more trig functions, but most of them can be derived from these basic three functions.

To use trig to discover unknown sides or angles, the triangle must be a right triangle—that is, one angle must equal 90 degrees. (In this column, tri- angle means “right triangle.”’)

You must also know at least two

Figure 1

other things about it: the length of one

[ESP AR Raney,

Cc OTTON

side and the size of one angle, or the length of two sides. However, know- ing all the angles is not sufficient to calculate the sides. Possibly the most common triangle is a 45-45-90 (so called because of its angles); both its short sides are the same length.

The next most common is a 30- 60-90. The length of its shortest side is always half the length of its longest. Notice that the sum ofa triangle’s an- gles is always 180 degrees; if you know two angles, just subtract their sum from 180 to find the third angle. By knowing the lengths of any two sides ofa triangle, you can find the length of the third side by using squares and square roots (see last month’s col- umn). Here’s an example:

10 PRINT“[CLR|[DN]IF YOU DON’T KNOW A SIDE,”

20 PRINT“JUST PRESS RETURN.” :PRINT

30 INPUT“LONGEST SIDE”;SL

40 INPUT“SHORTEST SIDE”;SS

50 INPUT“SECOND LONGEST SIDE”;SM

60 IFSL=0THENUS=SQR(SSt2+SM12)

70 IFSM=0THENUS=SQR(SLt2—SS?2)

80 IFSS=0THENUS=SQR(SLt —SM1 2)

100 PRINT:PRINT“UNKNOWN SIDE IS"US

When running this program, just press Return to denote the side you’re trying to find. For instance, if you press Return at the first prompt, the value of the longest side will be 0. Then, after you enter the values of the two other sides, line 60 will execute. It detects that SL (the longest side) is 0, or unknown, and calculates its value.

We're using the Pythagorean theorem, which says that the square of the longest side of a triangle is the sum of the squares of the other two sides. Look at line 60. US (the unknown side) is calculated by taking the square root of the sum of the squares of the other two sides. Remember that math inside parentheses is done first. There- fore, SS (the shortest side) is squared first; then SM (the next longest side) is squared before those two numbers are added. The square root of that num- ber is taken, giving the length of the longest side.

Line 70 or 80 is used if the long- est side and one of the shorter sides are known. The longest side is squared first; then the known short side is squared. The latter result is

KNOWN ANGLE

OPPOSITE

subtracted from the former, and the square root of that result is taken to get the answer. One of the IF-THENs will always be true if two legal values are entered. Even though three ques- tions are always presented, only two positive values can be entered. Line 100 always prints the answer.

Try entering 5 for the longest side and 3 for the shortest. The second longest side will be 4. Another whole- number triangle is one whose sides are 5-12-13. In other words, if you just press Return at the first prompt and then enter 5 and 12, the answer will be 13. If you enter 13, skip the next, and enter 12 for the second longest side, the answer is 5.0000001, which should be exactly 5.

The reason for the very slight mathematical error is that the com- puter converts every decimal number you enter to a binary number, does the calculations in binary math, and then converts the binary answer back to decimal form. Some accuracy is

COMPUTE’s

lost in this conversion process.

SIN is simply a ratio of the lengths of two sides ofa triangle. Ina 30-60-90 triangle, ifthe shortest side is 5 feet, the longest will be 10 feet. The ratio of the two sides is 5:10, which can be written 5/10 or .5. The shortest | angle is called the adjacent side, and side will be opposite the 30-degree an- | the long side is the hypotenuse. (See gle. The SIN of 30 degrees is .5. The SIN of any angle is the ratio of the side opposite the angle to the longest side. (See figure 1.)

To find this value using the com- | 10 INPUT“{CLR][DNJSHORT SIDE”;SS puter, try entering the following in the | 20 INPUT“[DNJANGLE OPPOSITE immediate mode.

PRINT SIN(30)

Surprisingly, the computer spits out —.988031623. What gives?

The computer calculates trigono- 1S"SM metric functions in radians. There are | 80 PRINT:PRINT“SHORT SIDE IS”SS pi (about 3.14) radians in 180 degrees; | 90 PRINT:PRINT“ANGLES ARE 90,"KA“, one degree equals about .017 radian. Therefore, in order to calculate SIN in degrees we must type the following:

PRINT SIN(30*7/180)

This will yield the correct answer, .5. The side opposite the known an-

bout a year ago I wrote a column

announcing the Design-a-Robot

Contest. Shortly after that piece

appeared, COMPUTE! Publica- tions went through major changes, and the Design-a-Robot Contest had to be postponed. Recently we’ve had a resurgence of interest in this contest, so we've decided to run it again.

When I was a little kid, the only robots I saw were on TV and in the movies. Back then there were no real robots, only robots of fantasy and sci- ence fiction—robots like Robbie, To- bor, Klaatu, and Gog. That didn’t stop me from trying to build a robot of my own. I scavenged parts from old bicycles, washing machines, photo- copiers, and toasters. I once even used a bedpan as a robot's body. During school I daydreamed about building a robot of my own—a man Friday, a servant, a buddy, a friend.

When I grew up, I learned that while I was dreaming up make-believe robots, real robots were being built in the U.S., Europe, and Japan. The real robots looked like long skinny sea monsters with pliers for jaws. They were called robot arms and were bolt- ed to factory floors. They painted cars, welded, and lifted heavy objects.

NASA built other robots and launched them into outer space. In space or on earth, robots journeyed where humans could not go—into the poisonous atmosphere of Venus, the crushing gravitational pressure of Jupiter, and the cores of nuclear reac- tors. They became a sort of human telepresence that could explore the universe and take risks we humans dared not take.

Robots began doing jobs that were dull, dirty, or dangerous. Robots never got sick, didn’t take coffee breaks, had an infinite attention span, and could work three shifts without dropping. Bosses liked them because they never talked back, didn’t go on strike, and didn’t belong to a union.

All these outer space, undersea, and factory robots were neat, but they weren’t what I really wanted. I wanted a robot like C3PO, R2D2, or Vincent

in Walt Disney’s The Black Hole.

For a while, in the early 1980s, it looked as if I would get my wish. As personal computers grew in populari- ty, a new field of personal robotics emerged. An International Personal Robotics Congress was held in Albu- querque, New Mexico, in April 1984. Thé following two years personal ro- bots were everywhere. Every week new robots came to my house so I could re- view them for COMPUTE!’s Gazette or for the TV program I was on, “The New Tech Times.” When the show's TV crew arrived, I would plug the ro- bots into my Commodore 64, turn them on, and let them roam the house.

THE CONTEST RETURNS:

DESIGN AROBOT

For one of the TV shows I had 27 ro- bots (monkeys, turtles, and robo-balls) all running at the same time.

I was in seventh heaven. My childhood dreams had (almost) come true. But then the bottom fell out in the personal robotics business. No new robots came to stay. I was sad. I missed the whir and buzz of the little motors, the tire tracks across my scrambled eggs, and the occasional wandering robot who ended up stuck in the bathtub, wedged under the toi- let, or lost among the galoshes in the back of the closet. I missed their chip- per voices, their songs (like “Old Mac- Donald Had a Robot”), and their clever remarks when they encoun- tered the broom or the cat. “Hi!”

they'd say. “Are you a human being?”

I can’t wait around any longer. If the robot revolution isn’t going to happen on its own, I’ll make it happen with the Design-a-Robot contest.

Entering the contest is easy. All you have to do is invent a new per- sonal robot on paper. It can be com- pletely original or a combination of all the robots you’ve seen, dreamed about, or imagined. Draw a picture of the robot, label all of its interesting parts, and describe what each part does. Show me how the robot relates to your computer. Does the computer control the robot? Does it program the robot? If so, how? How are the signals and commands transmitted and re- ceived? What kind of programming language should the robot use? Can you invent commands of your own?

Along with the robot’s diagram I would like a short description of what robots mean to you. Reach down into your heart. What would you do if you had a robot just like the robot you’ve designed? Be specific. Be imaginative. Be wild. Send me your creations.

All entries must be received by August 30, 1991, and winners will be selected by October 15. The first-place winner will receive a model robot val- ued at $200; five runners-up will each receive a smaller robot valued at $30.

Please send me your contest en- try (pictures, labels, description, and so on) to Design-a-Robot Contest, COMPUTE Publications, 324 West Wendover Avenue, Suite 200, Greensboro, North Carolina 27408. Be sure to include your name, ad- dress, and telephone number. Win- ners must consent to have their robots featured in a future “D’Iversions” col- umn without additional compensa- tion. The odds of winning a prize will be determined by the number and quality of entries. The decision of the judges will be final, and COMPUTE Publications cannot be held responsi- ble for entries misdirected in the mail. Entries become the property of COM- PUTE Publications and cannot be re- turned. Employees of COMPUTE Publications are not eligible. o

n ancient times humans regarded

Jupiter as the ruler of the sky. Re-

cently, interest in the giant planet

has rocketed due to the wealth of new information discovered by the Voyager spaceships. This program displays the 16 major moons and their { orbits around Jupiter.

The program consists of two modules: JUP.BAS and JUP.ML. The first is written in BASIC. To avoid typing errors, use The Automatic Proofreader to type it in; see “Typing Aids” elsewhere in this section. When you’ve finished typing it in, be sure to save a copy of the program.

The second part of the program, JUP.ML, is written in machine lan- guage. Enter this module with MLX, our machine language entry program; again, see “Typing Aids.” When MLX prompts you, respond with the values given below.

Starting address: C000 Ending address: C18F

When you've finished entering JUP.ML, be sure to save it with that name to the same disk as JUP.BAS. Load and run JUP.BAS; it will auto- matically load JUP.ML.

Choosing Moons

After a short pause, the main menu will appear. You'll see a list with Jupi- ter at the top, then the 16 moons, starting with Metis (the moon closest to the planet) and ending with Sinope (the moon farthest from Jupiter).

Use the up- and down-cursor keys to select which moon orbits you wish to see. Discs on the left of the screen will indicate which moons are currently selected. You can choose a group of either four or eight moons. Press the G key to display the moon orbits. After a pause for calculations, the graphic screen will appear.

Orbit Graphics

Jupiter is shown in the center of the screen. The scale depends on which moons you select, so Jupiter will ap- pear as a circle when you select the in-

Mr 0..NU> cE

ner moons and as a dot when you select the outer moons.

The moons are shown as dots at various distances from the planet. Press G, and the moons will move around the planet in their orbits, leaving a trace behind them. You can adjust the speed of the graphics by pressing the F key (faster) or the S key (slower).

At the lower left corner of the screen, a readout shows how many earth days have elapsed. The innermost moons take only a few hours to com- plete an orbit. The outermost moons take more than an earth year. To halt the moons, press X.

THE NUMEROUS MOONS THAT ORBIT AROUND THE PLANET JUPITER WITH THIS ASTRONOMY PROGRAM FOI THE 64

Names and Facts While the graphic screen is halted, you can identify the moons shown by press- ing the N key. A moon will flash while its name appears on the screen. To identify the next moon, press N again. When a moon is flashing, you can press I to view information about it. To exit from any part of the pro- gram, simply press X. It will take you back to the previous screen.

Comparing Moons

Go back to the main menu and press

the C key. The comparison menu will appear. Now hit P, D, E, or S to com- pare period, distance, eccentricity, or

size, respectively. To make the figures more meaningful, the corresponding

data for our own moon is also shown

for comparison.

Customizing

You can easily change the program’s colors on line 380. CO is the border color, Cl is the screen color, C2 is the text color, and C3 is the color used for Jupiter and moon traces. Similarly, you can change the 16 moon colors on line 390, but don’t make anything the same color as the screen, or it will be invisible.

Callistro’s orbit should appear circular on your screen. If not, try slightly adjusting the value of SC on line 380.

If you want to tinker with the or- bits, here’s the data format in lines 110-270: name, diameter, semimajor axis, eccentricity, period, longitude of perihelion, longitude at start.

Notes

The graphics show views approxi- mately from the ecliptic north. When viewed from the north, all the planets and most of the moons in our solar system orbit counterclockwise. Notice that four of Jupiter’s moons orbit the other way around. One possible expla- nation is that they might have been asteroids captured by Jupiter’s gravi- tational field.

rate and save its individual files to disk, ready for running.

f you call an electronic bulletin board system (BBS) and browse through its library of programs available for downloading, chances

are that many of the files have been

archived—that is, several programs and instruction files may have been combined into one master program.

If all of a program’s related files have been combined, a caller has only to download one file to obtain all the programs, modules, sprite data, music files, and instructions required for proper operation. Archiving (or arcing as it’s often called) is a convenient method for uploading and download- ing BBS files.

Some archived files need a spe-

Typing It In Noah’s Arc is such a program. It cre- ates SDA files that separate automati- cally. It is written entirely in machine language, but it loads and runs like a BASIC program. Use MLX, our ma- chine language entry program, to type it in; see “Typing Aids” elsewhere in this section. When MLX prompts, re- spond with the following values.

Tate : file. It accepts program, sequential, or

user files, and it does not matter if dif- ferent types are loaded together. In ad- dition to making it convenient for sending files via modem, SDA files are also useful for creating backups.

When you run Noah, it asks for the number of files you wish to ar- chive. Respond with a number less than 100. Try not to use more files than will fit into memory at one time. Noah can handle about 160 disk blocks, depending on the number of files, not the file size. Noah reserves 25 bytes of memory per file in its own directory located at $0960 hex or 2480 decimal. This directory has to be saved along with the SDA file.

If you aren’t sure of the number of files, you can check the directory by entering $ and pressing Return. The directory listing can be stopped and started by touching any key. This is useful in determining which and how many files you wish to load.

After you enter the number, Noah asks for the filenames. It will then ask if it is a program, sequential, or user file. Just press the correspond- ing number. Noah checks the disk for that file and returns the disk error sta- tus. If all is well, it continues loading the file into memory.

This process repeats until the memory is full or all the files have been loaded. Anytime you are asked for a filename, you can enter $ to get a directory or enter @ to abort and save the files already loaded.

When all the files have been load- ed, Noah asks for a master filename. At this point make sure that the disk has enough room on it for the file you are saving. Noah appends an SDA suf- fix automatically to the file name. Ifa disk error occurs during a save, Noah lets you try the procedure again.

Noah can be useful as a file copier as well. If you enter @ when Noah prompts for a Save filename, it will dump all files in memory to disk in their original form. To make more copies of these files, when Noah comes back with a prompt asking if you wish to create more files, press N, and you will be returned to BASIC. Put another disk in the drive and en- ter SYS2088. You can repeat this pro- cess as many times as you like. Noah always saves to drive 8.

If you load an SDA file and list it,

you'll see the number of files the SDA 2S

PROGRAMS

file contains. To dearc an SDA file, just load and run it. If you wish to save an SDA file to another disk, load it and enter SYS2088.

Most smaller SDA files can be loaded and saved like BASIC pro- grams, but some larger ones may pose a problem because Noah stores files under BASIC ROM. If you try saving a file that is too big, you’ll get an OUT OF MEMORY message. Noah’s Arc itself can be loaded and saved like a BASIC program, but do not try to save it after it’s been run. If you wish to restart it at any time, enter

ining for precious metals is a

tough and dangerous occupa-

tion that’s part skill and part

luck. Miner is an arcade-style game that requires some skill and a lot of luck. It can also be dangerous for your onscreen miner.

The action is simple and straight- forward. Use a joystick plugged into port 2 to control your miner as he digs around the screen searching for gold nuggets. Each screen contains 40 nug- gets, and you must collect at least 20 of them in a specified amount of time in order to advance to the next screen. That’s the simple part.

In addition to the gold, the earth your miner tunnels through contains a couple of deadly hazards—namely, pockets of methane gas and deposits of highly radioactive uranium. You want your miner to collect the gold and make it back to the surface with- out succumbing to these subterranean perils or running out of time.

Miner is written entirely in ma- chine language, but it loads and runs like a BASIC program. Enter the pro- gram with MLX, our machine lan- guage entry program; see “Typing Aids” elsewhere in this section. When MLX prompts you, respond with the values given below.

Starting address: 0801 Ending address: 1BB0

Be sure to save a copy of the program before exiting MLX.

Starting the Game

The game begins with one of your three miners standing in the doorway ofa local bank. The bank is where you sell your gold for cash. You'll collect any gold nuggets that your miner un- covers, but you must deliver them to the bank before time runs out, or you'll lose whatever he’s found.

Push the fire button to start the game and pull down on your joystick to have the miner dig straight down; push forward to move him up. Push left or right, and he’ll dig in that direc- tion in search of gold. You'll have to

GuUéss VAK ALIS

maneuver him around boulders that you see scattered across the screen. Occasionally he’ll uncover immoy- able blocks of granite and have to make a detour around them.

WATCH OUT FOI DEADLY SUIRPIRISES IN THIS ARCADE GAME

FOR THE 64

Deadly Perils

There’s more than gold and granite waiting for your miner to uncover. The two hazards, as mentioned earli- er, are methane gas and uranium de- posits. The number of hazards per screen is proportional to the skill level you’ve selected. Skill level 1 contains one or two uranium deposits and two to four methane pockets. Skill level 2 has two to four uranium deposits and four to six methane pockets, and so on up to skill level 5. Methane pockets appear as blue bubbles, and uranium deposits appear as gray oblong balls, not to be confused with the gray boul- ders that litter the screen.

When you first expose a hazard, you'll have about one second to get away from it before it becomes lethal. Once the grace period expires, the methane bubble will begin to move through the tunnel network that you’ve dug. Uranium deposits remain stationary at first, but they soon begin to flash and emit deadly radiation. This radiation slowly spreads throughout the tunnel system unless you can seal off tunnels with some of the boulders you’ve uncovered. Posi- tion your miner next to a boulder and

push it in the desired direction.

If the gas or radiation reaches a miner or if he’s below ground when time runs out, you'll lose one miner. You can play with a longer time limit, but nothing is free. Gold nuggets are worth 100 points in the 150-second game, 75 points in the 200-second game, and 50 points in the 250-second game. Before you start a new game, you can buy more time by pressing the 1, 2, or 3 key to select either a 150-, 200-, or 250-second game.

Onscreen Info

At the top of the screen, you'll see a readout of the number of miners you currently have, the number of gold nuggets that the active miner is carry- ing, the time remaining on the clock, and your score. Also displayed are the skill level and whether you’re playing screen | or 2 of that level. You must complete two screens at each skill lev- el in order to advance to the next lev- el. You'll receive an additional miner for every 5000 points.

Once you deposit some gold in the bank, a counter will appear in the bank itself displaying how much gold you’ve deposited. Once this counter reaches 20, you can advance to the next screen by pressing the fire button. You may continue to mine the pre- sent screen, but be sure to deposit any gold you have before pressing the fire button.

Press the space bar to pause the game. When the border turns red, the game is paused. Press the space bar again to resume play. The Restore key resets the game to the title screen.

Strategy Avoid digging large cavernous rooms, since the more surface area the radia- tion has, the more quickly it spreads. Try to protect the entrance to the bank, or you won’t be able to deposit your gold. Remember that the clock is just as deadly as the radiation or methane, Don’t let time run out on you.

After playing a few games, you may discover that some areas are

usually free of radiation or methane. Gold nuggets are distributed random- ly over the screen as are boulders and the immovable granite blocks. Methane bubbles tend to move in a counterclockwise direction and al- ways start by moving to the left. When a methane bubble encounters an obstruction and cannot move in any other direction, it will then double back on itself. Knowing this may en- able you to dig traps for the bubbles so they can’t follow you through the tun- nels. You may also want to block off tunnel sections with boulders as you dig them; then, should you uncover a uranium deposit that you can’t quick- ly seal, radiation won't spread throughout the entire tunnel.

ou and your allies have been ac-

cused of murdering the king of

Acacia. Due to uncertainty about

your guilt among the High Coun- cil judges, you and your party have been locked in a maze filled with mag- ical doors and powerful demons. Leg- end has it that the gods of the underworld will determine who is guilty and who is not.

Here is where you will be tested. Those who are untruthful have their fates sealed from the beginning. It will only be a matter of time before it’s apparent who among your party is innocent and who is guilty. Those who escape the dungeon trials alive will be excused of all charges, and their names will be cleared.

Typing It In

Dungeon Trials is written entirely in BASIC. To avoid typing errors, enter the program with The Automatic Proofreader; see “Typing Aids” else- where in this section. Be sure to save a copy of the program when you’ve finished typing it in.

Enter the Dungeon

Plug a joystick into port 2 to play Dungeon Trials. Load and run the program; then wait for a minute while the computer reads the sprite data. When the main screen appears, you'll see what your party sees.

There are doors on all sides of each room. These doors match a com- pass rose in that north is straight ahead, east is to the right, and west is to the left. South is always behind you and can’t be seen. Above the room are the six members of your party.

As you search for the exit, a vari- ety of evil foes will appear, blocking your path. You can’t leave a room un- til you’ve defeated each demon in combat. Even after one of your party has defeated a foe, another one may appear immediately.

When you select Fight from the menu, you'll be asked which of the six members of your party will engage the monster. Enter that member’s num- ber and press Return. At this point the

background screen will clear, anda crosshairs pointer will appear. Try to maneuver the crosshairs over the head of the demon, and press the fire button before the demon can move away. The head is the only vital spot, and your timing is very important.

DUNGEON TRIALS

DEFEAT THE POWERFUL DEMONS THAT BLOCK YOUR WAY TO SAFETY IN THIS ADVENTURE GAME FOR THE 64

The snake is the exception. You must aim just over its head and strike the lower part of its tail. If your blow strikes it there, the snake will be ban- ished to its realm.

You get only one chance to defeat a demon. If you miss, your party member dies. The maze has 150 rooms; the object is to reach the last one. There are five magical doors that will teleport you to other parts of the dungeon, but you won’t be able to re- turn to the teleport by retracing your steps.

Good luck—I hope you have been truthful.

he Meteor Mining Company is hiring pilots to fly a fleet of ships for collecting asteroids in outer space. It has devised a test to dis- cover people who have the necessary talents to pilot a spaceship while si- multaneously solving problems to de- cide which asteroids are valuable.

The object of Meteor Math is to collect correct answers to simple math problems while avoiding the incorrect ones. You'll be given the first number in an addition or multiplication prob- lem and its answer. It will be your job to maneuver your ship through a field of moving numbers to collect the one that completes the problem.

Although Meteor Math loads and runs like a BASIC program, it’s written en- tirely in machine language. Use MLX, our machine language entry program, to type it in; see “Typing Aids” else- where in this section. When MLX prompts you, respond with the values given below.

Starting address: 0801 Ending address: 1658

When you've finished typing, don’t forget to save a copy of the program before exiting MLX.

Playing the Game When you run Meteor Math, the title screen will offer you several options. Press fl and f3 to set the beginning and top levels. The level is the first number in the math equation. You can solve problems that start with the same number each time or cycle through them in consecutive order. Press T to set the game’s time limit. Games can last from one to nine minutes and will continue until

that time limit has been reached or three ships have been destroyed.

You set the speed at which the answers scroll by pressing B for begin- ner, N for normal, or E for expert. This option always defaults to nor- mal, although the other options will remain as you've set them.

METEOR MATH

PRACTICE ADDITION Ol MULTIPLICATION WHILE FLYING THROUGH SPACE IN

THIS EDUCATIONAL GAME FOR THE 64

When you're ready to begin, press f7 to complete addition prob- lems or f5 to complete multiplication ones. Control your ship with a joy- stick plugged into port 2.

As your ship flies through the field of possible answers, you want to collect the right one. Touching a cor- rect answer with your ship collects it. You'll receive two points for each cor- rect answer and a bonus for each level you complete. The amount of the bo- nus depends on the level that you’ve

finished. Level 9 is worth more than level 8, for example.

Running into an incorrect answer will destroy your ship. You may have to let some correct ones go by if they’re too close to other numbers. When a ship has been destroyed or you've collected the correct number, the math problem changes; stay alert.

If your ship needs extra speed to snare the correct answer, press your fire button. This engages your turbo- thruster, which doubles the speed of your ship. Turbo fuel is expensive; this speed can be maintained for only about ten seconds per ship. The game ends when either the time limit has expired or you’ve crashed three ships into incorrect answers.

There’s no real qualifying score in Meteor Math. I wrote this program to give my children practice with ad- dition and the multiplication tables and to keep them from figuring out the answers by counting on their fin- gers. I made it flexible so that they could design their own tests, spending more time practicing problems in their areas of biggest need.
