Building Blocks

Skill area - Coordination

LeveL 1,2

Kids love to play with blocks, so it is only appropriate to have a blocks game for the computer. The blocks are arranged in six stacks with different coloured blocks in each stack. The blocks can be moved by the crane, which is manipulated with five keys. The S key moves it to the left, the D key moves it to the right, the X key moves it down, and the E key moves it up. The F key causes the crane to drop a block if it is carrying one. The crane can move left or right only when it is in the opposition. Using the keys, you maneuver the crane over a stack of blocks and then lower it until it picks up a block. You can then raise the crane to the top position, and move it left or right. When the block is over the position where you want the block to be, pressing the F key causes the block to drop into position. Then you can go back and pick up another block. You can build any sort of building, house, or tower that you want. The program runs indefinitely and must be ended with the CLEAR function. Remember that the ALPHA LOCK key must be down in order for the program to work properly. The program as listed works from the keyboard, but the pro gram can be modified so that the crane is manipulated by joysticks, and the fire button drops the blocks. To alter the program for use with joysticks, make the following changes:

1. Delete lines 130 to 230

2. Substitute the following lines for those in the program:

510 CALL JOYST(l,X,Y)

520 IF (X=0)*(Y=4)THEN 580

530 IF (X=4)*(Y=0)THEM 650

540 IF (X=-4)*(Y=0)THEN 750

550 IF (X=0)*(Y=-4)THEN 850

560 CALL KEY(1,K,S)

3. Add a new line with the number 565 565 IF K=18 THEN 1030

Make sure that none of the other line numbers are changed when 17 /&fei Level 1 Games you delete the lines at the beginning of the program. The joysticks " will work properly only if the ALPHA LOCK key is up. As with any program using joysticks, only one of the two units will work, **> and you will need to experiment to see which of the two works. If for some reason you want the other unit to work instead, change the 1 to a 2 in the parentheses in lines 510 and 560.

Number Concepts

Skill area: Mathematics

LeveL 1,2

The only skills required to play "Number Concepts" are the ability to count and the ability to locate number keys on the keyboard and type them. A number of objects are displayed on the screen. You must count the objects and enter the number. If you enter the correct number, a little man dances across the screen, and a new problem appears. If you enter the wrong number, the program makes an unpleasant sound, and you are given another try. If, after three tries, you still have not entered the correct number, the answer is flashed across the screen. Then a new problem appears. Your parents can set the minimum and maximum number of objects. For those who are just beginning to learn numbers, a parent could set a minimum of one and a maximum of three so that all of the problems would have one, two, or three objects. For those who are more advanced, the parent could set the mini mum at ten and the maximum at twenty so that all of the problems would have between ten and twenty objects. The maximum number of objects allowed is twenty-five, and there must be a range of at least three. There are six possible objects, and which object is used on a particular turn is determined randomly.

Bats and Bugs

Skill area: Coordination

Level: 1

"Bats and Bugs" is a videogame for preschool children. It can be played by anyone who is old enough eitherto manipulate joysticks or control a character using the four arrow keys. Because it is for preschoolers, it plays very slowly, and there is no score. You are rewarded with songs such as 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" or "Oh Susannah." You move a bat around the screen with the four arrow keys, and as the bat moves, it flaps its wings. There are eight bugs on the screen which also move about, and the objec tive is for the bat to catch a bug. Whenever it does, one of four songs plays. This game teaches you eye/hand coordination and the concepts of left, right, up and down. The program uses the four arrow keys —S for left, E for up, D for right, and Xfor down —to control the bat. However, it can be easily modified so that the bat is controlled with joysticks instead. This can be done by substituting the following five lines:

350 CALL JOYST(l,X,Y)

380 IF (X=0)*(Y=4)THEN 820

390 IF (X=4)*(Y=0)THEN 850 400 IF (X=0)*(Y=-4)THEN 880

410 IF (X=-4)*(Y=0)THEN 910

When using the four keys, the ALPHA LOCK key must be down; when using joysticks, the ALPHA LOCK key must be up.

240 DIM A( 8 ),B( 8 ) Just so you fix it!!! If you get it wrong on your copying it!

i have not tested it but for the program Building Blocks, in line 1050 you have to write D=1, there is an L now.

Thx!!!

It is the copying from PDF to Notepad that make "smart" bugs

Introduction to Addition

Skill area Mathematics

LeveLl, 2

Once you've mastered "Number Concepts" you are ready for "Introduction to Addition." The program first asks what the minimum and maximum numbers are for the problems. The minimum can be any num ber between one and six, and the maximum can be any number between four and nine. The maximum must be at least three greater than the minimum. Once the minimum and the maximum number have been entered, the program will randomly produce addition problems in which both numbers will be between the maximum and the minimum. As each number is presented, a row of squares appears beside the number to demonstrate it. You must enter the answer to the problem. If you are correct on the first try, the answer is shown, and the total number of boxes is displayed. Suppose, for example, that the minimum number possible is two, and the maximum is six. The first problem might be six plus three. There would be a row of six boxes beside the six and three boxes beside the three. If you entered nine, the number nine would be shown, and there would be a row of nine boxes beside it. You have three chances to enter the correct answer to a problem. After three incorrect responses, the correct answer is shown. Then a new problem appears. If you get the correct answer to a problem on the first try, that problem will not appear again. Problems on which you do not get the correct answer on the first try will appear again later. The program continues presenting problems until all possible problems except one have been answered correctly on the first try. In order to learn the concept of addition, it is a good idea to start with the minimum of one and the maximum of four or five. As each problem appears, you should count the boxes corresponding to each of the two numbers. Then you should count the total number of boxes to show that the sum of the number of boxes in each of the two rows is the same as the sum of the boxes corresponding to the answer. Once you have begun to master the problems with the lower numbers, then the minimum and the maximum can be increased so that eventually you should be able to correctly add any two numbers between one and nine.

Concept Learning

Skill area: Memory and Logic

LeveL 1,2

Young children take great pride in being able to identify colors, shapes, and sizes. "Concept Learning" requires you to use this knowledge for problem solving. Two objects are displayed on the screen. One of the two has been designated as correct according to a rule, and you have to figure out which one is correct by learning the rule. You make your choice by pushing the Q key to choose the left-hand object, and by pushing the P key to choose the right-hand object. If you are correct, a little man dances across the screen; if you're wrong, the screen goes dark for a moment, and the computer makes an unpleasant noise. Then the next display is presented. You will be correct only about half the time by guessing, but you'll be correct all the time as soon as you figure out the rule. Once you've made five correct choices in a row, the computer assumes that you have solved the problem and presents a new problem with a new rule. The rule is always a simple rule such as pick the square, or pick the larger one, or pick the red one. These rules may seem extremely easy to adults, but are often difficult for children. The program has three levels. If the first level is chosen, only one dimension (shape, color, or size) distinguishes the two objects. Thus, the problem is fairly simple, even for young children. If level 2 is selected, the two objects differ on two dimensions, and only one of the two dimensions is relevant. In other words, the rule is based on only one of the two dimensions, and you must learn to ignore the irrelevant one. For example, the two objects on the screen might be a large red square and a small blue square. There are four possible rules for this problem: large is correct; small is correct; red is correct; blue is correct. The selection on the first round of a problem is always just a guess, but after a few rounds, you should be able to figure out which of the four possible rules is correct for a particular problem. Level 3 involves two irrelevant characteristics, and thus is substantially more difficult. One object might be a small red square, and the other is a large blue cross. Thus, there are six possible rules here: small is correct;large is correct; red is correct; blue is correct; cross is correct; square is correct. In this case you must learn to ignore two irrelevant dimensions or characteristics. Because of the three levels of difficulty, this game is suitable for children at a wide range of ages. Preschoolers should be able to solve level 1 problems, but may encounter difficulty with levels 2 or 3. Kindergartners and first-graders should be able to solve level 2 problems, but may have difficulty with level 3. Even older grade-school children find level 3 a challenge.

Maze

Skill area Coordination

Level: 1,2,3

Level 1 Games "Maze" is a simple game that can be played by several children competing against each other or by one child trying to improve on his best score. In addition, it can be used to develop eye/hand coordination for young children. A simple maze is displayed on the screen. There is a star in the upper-left corner. The object of the game is to steer the star through the maze to the opening in the lower-right corner as quickly as possible. This is done with three of the arrow keys. The D key moves the star to the right, the E key moves the star up, and the X key moves the star down. There is never any need to move the star to the left, so the left arrow (the S key) has no effect. Likewise, none of the other keys have any effect on the movement of the star. There is a timer in the lower-right corner of the screen. The timer is started when the first key is struck, and it continues running until the star reaches the opening in the lower-right corner. The lower the number on the timer, the better the performance. At the completion of a round, the computer will ask if the player wishes to play again. The Y key resets the timer to zero and returns the star to the upper-left corner.The N key terminates the game. In order for this program to work, the ALPHA LOCK key must be in the down (on) position. The program can be easily modified so that it can be played using a joystick instead of the keys. Change the following lines:

380 CALL JOYST(l,X,Y)

90 IF (X=0)*(Y=0)THEN 380

410 CALL JOYST(l,X,Y)

420 IF (X=0)*(Y=-4)THEN 590

430 IF (X=4)*(Y=0)THEN 630

440 IF (X=0)*(Y=4)THEN 550

With joysticks, the ALPHA LOCK key must be up in order for the program to run.

You should use the code tags for all the basic listings, this will help avoid emojis showing up in the code

Will try it next time!

If you read it NOW, it is fixed! But I did not know this until pointed out by LaSooner, so thx!

Matching Game

Skill area Memory

Level: 1,2,3

Players from preschoolers to adults can have fun testing their memory skills in "Matching Game." Twenty-four boxes are displayed on the screen, lettered A to X. Initially all of the boxes are empty. There is a total of 12 patterns, and each box has a pattern associated with it (you can think of the pattern as being inside the box). Each of the 12 patterns is inside exactly two of the boxes. You enter a letter between A and X, and the pattern inside that box is displayed. You then enter the letter corresponding to a second box, and the pattern inside that box appears. Then hit the ENTER key. If the two patterns are the same, the computer plays a little tune, and both boxes disappear. If the two patterns are different, the boxes close up again. The player's goal is to clear the screen in as few turns as possible. Since the screen is cleared by pairing identical patterns, you must remember where they are. At first you will be guessing, but within a few turns, you will turn up patterns that have been seen before. The program keeps track of the number of turns that have been taken.

The ALPHA LOCK key must be down for this program to work.

This program was written by Frank DiDomenico.

Anti-Aircraft

Skill area: Coordination

Level;1,2

"Anti-Aircraft" is the onlyshoot-em-up arcade-type game included in thisbook. In Anti-Aircraft youoperate an anti-aircraft gun at the bottom ofthe screen.Hittingthe two arrowkeys, S and D,

moves the gun backand forth across the screen, and hitting the F key fires the gun. The goal is to shoot down as many enemy planes as possible while avoiding the bombs the enemy planes drop

on the gun. The amount of ammunition is limited to 50 bullets, so you should not shoot unless you are fairly certain that you will hit a plane. In orderto score a hit, it is necessary to

lead your shot; that is, you should fire in front of where the plane actually is so that the bullet will in fact hit the moving plane. The computer keeps track of the number of planes that

are hit. The game is over when one of three things happens: you run out of ammunition; 50 planes have flown overhead; or a bomb from one of the planes hits your gun.

Arithmetic Practice

Skill area: Mathematics

Level: 1,2,3

Practice!Practice!Practice! Wewere told that was the best way to learn our arithmetic facts. But practice was so boring. Then came the computer.

Children don't mind practice quite so much when it involves the use of their computer. This is the idea behind "Arithmetic Practice."

Arithmetic Practice allows you to practice any of the four basic arithmetic functions. Once you have decided which type of problem to practice, you must select the range of numbers for the

problems. This allowsyou to practiceat the appropriate level. When asked for the range of the first number, you should enter two numbers separated by a comma. The second number must be equal to or greater than the first. The computer then asks for the range of the second number, and the child enters two numbers again.

Suppose it is a subtraction problem. The first number is the number that the second number will be subtracted from. For someone who is just learning subtraction, the range entered might be 5 to 9. The second number is the number to be subtracted from the first number. For our example, suppose that the range entered was 1 to 4. Thus, the program would generate problems in hich

the top number would be any number between 5 and 9, and the bottom number would be any number between 1 and 4. Thus, the following problems might be presented:

6 9 8

-1-4-2

The program also asks how many problems you want, and any number can be entered.

Division presents special problems. If you indicate division problems, the program then asks which of three possible options you want. Option 1 includes only those problems which come out even —without a remainder or decimal in the answer. Option 2 involves problems which can have a remainder. In this case, after you enter the answer, the program asks for the remainder, and you must get both the answer and the remainder correct. The third option involves carrying each answer out to three decimal places.

In division problems, the first number is the dividend and the second number is the divisor. In other words, the format will be "first number divided by second number."

Care must be taken when entering the range of numbers for division problems. Be sure the range of numbers for the first number is greater than the range of numbers for the second. For example, if you enter 6,10 for the first number be sure that the range for the second number begins below 6 (3, 8 would be acceptable).

Lvl 2 Games

Leaping Lizzie

Skill area Coordination

LeveL 2,3

There is a row of platforms across the screen. Unfortunately, some of them are missing. Lizzie hops from one platform to another. Normally, she doesn't need any help from you, but when a plat form or platforms are missing, you must make Lizzie leap over the openings. Otherwise, Lizzie falls to the bottom of the screen. If there is one platform missing, you must hit the 1 key just as Lizzie lands on the prior platform. If there are two consecutive platforms missing, you must hit the 2 key, and so on.

To cross the screen, Lizzie must land on all the platforms and avoid falling through any openings. If she gets completely across the screen without falling and without missing any platforms, you get 200 points. If Lizzie gets completely across the screen ms without falling, but having missed one platform, you get 100 points. You get no points if Lizzie gets across the screen but has missed two or more platforms. It is easy to see whether Lizzie m> has missed any platforms, because a platform disappears when she lands on it. Any platforms remaining at the end of a round were missed. Once the round is over, a new row of platforms appears and you must help get Lizzie across again.

With each round, the pace of the game speeds up slightly. Lizzie is permitted to fall twice, and the game is over after she falls the third time.

The speed of the game is controlled by two variables, DD and D, defined in lines 170 and 180, respectively. DD determines the speed of the initial round, and D determines how quickly the game speeds up. The higher DD is set initially,the slower the game. The higher D is set, the faster the pace of the game speeds up. If the game is playing too quickly, you can set DD equal to 150 instead of 100 in line 170, or if you want the game to play slowly for more rounds, set D equal to 5 instead of 10 in line 180.

Maze Race

Skill area Coordination

Level: 2,3

This game is similar to the maze game except that it is a head-to head race against the clock. The game starts by asking for each of the two players to enter a single character which will represent that player. This character can be any letter, any digit,or any other character on the keyboard. The program then asks how many laps the race should be. This can be any number from one to eight.

A double maze is displayed on the board. The two halves of the maze are identical. The character for player 1 is at the bottom of the left-hand maze, and the character for player 2 is at the bottom of the right-hand maze. As soon as the maze is displayed, the race begins. The first player controls his character with the E key (up), the S key (left), the X key (down), and the D key (right).

The second player controls his character with the O key (up), the K key (left), the comma key (down), and the L key (right). A single lap is from the bottom of the screen to the top, or from the top to the bottom. To complete a lap, it is necessary to actually enter the opening in the top or bottom row. The race ends when one of the players completes the number of laps in the race.

This game is particularly good for elementary-school children, although older children enjoy it as well.

The ALPHA LOCK key must be down for this game to play properly.

The program can be easily modified so that it can be played with joysticks. This is accomplished by substituting the following lines in the program:

500 CALL JOYST(l,X,Y)

520 IF (Y=4)*(R(N)>1)THEN 690

530 IF (X=-4)THEN 720

540 IF (X=4)THEN 750

550 IF (Y=-4)*(R(N)<23)THEN 780

610 CALL JOYST(2,X,Y)

620 IF (Y=4)*(R(N)>1)THEN 690

630 IF (X=-4)THEN 720

640 IF (X=4)THEN 750

650 IF (Y=-4)*(R(N)<23)THEN 780

Line 610 should be deleted when using joysticks.

As always, the ALPHA LOCK key must be up in order for this program to work properly with joysticks.

Soccer Goalie

Skill area: Coordination

Level: 2,3

You have been drafted as the new goalie for your hometown soccer team. The team has not been doing very well, so everyone is

depending on you to improve the team's standing in the league.

"SoccerGoalie" is a game for one or two players. The goalie's job is to catch soccer balls that are sent toward the goal on a ran dom path. If there is only one player, the goal is the bottom of the screen, and the balls come from the top. The goalie is moved back and forth with the D and S keys. The computer displays the number of saves which the goaliehas made and the number of goals scored against him.

If there are two players, the second player is at the top of the screen and blocks balls coming from the bottom of the screen. This player is moved with the J and K keys.The players alternate turns. The computer displays the number of saves and the number of goals scored against each player.

Soccer Goalie has two levels of difficulty. At level 1 the goalie has to be within only one column of the ball to make a save, while at level 2, the goalie has to be on exactly the correct column.

Dicey

Skill area Strategy

LeveL 2,3

To play "Dicey," you must be able to do simple addition. The game involves throwing two dice. There are two players. When it is your turn, you can throw the dice as many times as you wish until one of two things happens: Either you voluntarily stop, or you throw doubles (both dice the same). If you stop voluntarily, your score for that turn is the total of all of your rolls on that turn. If you throw doubles, your score on that turn is zero. Each player has a total of six turns. The strategy comes in trying to decide when to stop rolling and accept your present score for that turn. It's always tempting to throw just one more time, but there is the risk that you will throw doubles and lose everything.

Let's say Jason and Jessica are the two players. Jason goes first, and on his first roll he gets a 3 and 2. He chooses to roll again, and he gets a 6 and 5. He chooses to roll again, and he gets a 5 and 1. Now he chooses to stop, so his score for that round is 22, which is the total of all of his rolls. Jessica then takes her turn. She rolls a 4 and 2 on the first round, a 6 and 1 on the second roll, and a 3 and 3 on the third roll. Since this is doubles, her score for this round is zero. The score at the end of the first round is 22 for Jason and 0 for Jessica.

On the second round, Jason rolls a 5 and 3 on the first roll, and two 6's on the second roll. He scores nothing for this round, but he still has his 22 from the first round. Jessica rolls a 6 and 5 on the first roll of her turn, a 3 and 2 on the second roll of her turn, 6 and 1 on the third roll of her turn, a 4 and 1 on the fourth roll of her turn, and a 1 and 3 on the fifth roll of her turn. She chooses to stop rather than roll again on that turn, so her score for the second round is 32. At the end of two rounds, the score is 22 for Jason and 32 for Jessica.

There are a total of six rounds in a game, and the player with the higher score at the end of the six rounds is the winner.

This game can be played either by two players, with the computer simply keeping track of each player's score and rolling the dice, or one player can play against the computer. The program first asks for the number of players. If 1 is entered, then it is assumed that the one player is playing against the computer. If 2 is entered, then it is assumed that two players are playing against each other. The names of the one or two players are then entered, and then the computer asks who goes first. At this time, type in either a player's name or the word COMPUTER. If there are two people playing, typing in the word COMPUTER would get an error message.

The display for each round will show the round number, whose turn it is, each player's score prior to that round, and the score for this round. After each roll, the computer asks you whether you want to roll again. When it's the computers turn, all you do is watch, since the computer's playing strategy is built into the program.

Everything is OK until you want to exit game... Y N do not work!

These programs were written for TI Basic (TIB). I am betting you are running them in Extended Basic (XB). There may be other problems, but one for sure that will trip you up in XB is a PRINT statement ending with more than one ‘:’ with no intervening spaces. This is not a problem in TIB because, with only one statement allowed per line, each ‘:’ is assumed to be for starting a new print line. In XB, however, multiple lines per statement are allowed. If you do not have any intervening spaces, XB will assume multi-statement separators were intended and insert a space after each pair of colons. When such a statement is executed, XB will hang because there are no actual statements after the “separators”.

First bug 300, do not get it. What is the bug here?

Once again, it looks like you are using XB for programs designed to run in TIB. Here, the problem is that lines 300 – 380 (and, likely, others) reference character numbers higher than 143, which are available in TIB, but not in XB.

BTW, there are several typos scattered throughout the program.

Nooooo I do not use XB on TIB prog would NEVER do that

(I was thinking that, this could have something to do with it, bad habit I have from before, "If not sure, use XB", so now all progs are XB) hehehe

The typos... When I copy from PDF it sometimes think I is 1 and 1 is l, and it also adds stuff from the side of the page, where the "hole" in the page is. And sometimes if takes stuff out or add strange things. Also sometimes ; is 7.

So I have to look at the ones not working! But is getting better at predicting where the "typos" will appear when copying over to notepad.

Copy Cat

Skill area Memory

Level: 2,3

Up to four people can play "Copy Cat," which involves remember ing and copying a progressively longer chain of colors. On each player's turn, the computer produces a chain of colors, which it displays by changing the color of the screen. It starts by showing the first color. You have to copy that by hitting the appropriate key. There are four possible colors: green, blue, red and yellow. The 1 key produces green; 2 produces blue; 3 produces red; and 4 produces yellow.Whenever a color is shown, there is a sound associated with it, ranging from a very low-pitched tone for green to a very high-pitched tone for yellow.

Suppose it is Naomi's turn. The computer changes the color for the screen from its normal white to blue for a moment, plays the tone associated with blue, and prints the number 2 in the center of the screen. Naomi then has to hit the key corresponding to the color, in this case the 2 key. If she is correct, the computer extends the chain by one. First it would flash blue, then it would flash a second color, like red or even blue again. Naomi must now hit the 2 key, then the 3 key. As she hits each key, the color of the screen changes for a moment and the appropriate tone sounds. If she is correct, the computer again adds a color to the chain. Suppose that this time it flashes blue, red, then red again. Naomi must now hit the 2 key, the 3 key, then the 3 key again.

Obviously, remembering the chain is easy for most people when it is only three or four colors long, but it starts getting much more difficult as the chain gets longer. Eventually you make a mistake, and that ends your turn. Your score for a turn is the length of the chain at the time the turn ended.

The computer keeps track of each player's score and displays totals at the end of each round.

Crossout

Skill area: Strategy

Level 2,3

"Crossout" is a variation of an old game played with match sticks. A number oflines are displayed on the screen, and the two players (in this case, you and the computer) take turns crossing out lines. On any turn, you can cross out one, two, or three lines. The player who crosses out the last line loses.

The game starts by asking how many sticks should be in the game. This can be any number between 21 and 28. Then you must decide who will take the first turn, you or the computer. If the computer plays first, the words COMPUTER'S TURN will be displayed, and then either 1, 2, or 3 lines will be crossed out. Then the words YOUR TURN will be displayed. You must enter either a 1, 2, or 3 indicating the number of lines you wish to cross out. That number of lines will be crossed out, and then it is the computer's turn again. The player who crosses out the last line loses the game.

The remarkable thing about Crossout is that the computer will almost always win regardless of whether it plays first or second.

This is an interesting strategy game for children ages eight or older. Of course, there isa strategy for winning. Try to figure it out.

Acie Deucie

Skill area Mathematics

Level: 2,3

"Acie Deucie" is a simple card game that teaches the concepts of chance and probability. Two cards are turned over, and you have to bet whether a third card will be between these two or not. As in most card games, aces are the highest cards and deuces are the lowest.

In this version, the computer asks how many players there are and then asks for the name of each player. Each player starts with a stake of $200. On each round, you must bet from $10 to $50. The computer shows whose turn it is, then reveals the two cards. After you bet, the third card is revealed. If the third card lies between the first two, you win the amount of the bet. If the card is not between the first two cards, you lose the bet. If the third card is the same as one of the first two cards, you lose.

If your stake is below $10, you're out of the game. The game continues as long as there are at least two players left.

This game involves a good deal of strategy.Even though most players will lose most of their bets, they should be able to increase their stake by wisely betting large amounts on situations where they are more likely to win, and small bets in situations where they are more likely to lose.

The game is played with a regular 52 card deck, so players can keep track of the cards that have been played, and improve their betting strategy. When the program prints SHUFFLING, it means that it is starting over with a new deck.
