EA Worms? source code (Forth)


Recommended Posts

I forgot to mention here that the Forth source code for Worms? is available and open-source licensed thanks to David Maynard. Code is available for both Atari 8-bit and Commodore 64. It was never released for Apple II but, based on the printed version of the code, might be convert-able to that system by an intrepid programmer.

The development notes are fascinating... Besides David Maynard's own development notes there's sausage-making production details from inside EA, fan letters from gamers, focus group reports of kids who didn't understand it, mention of a writeup in Martin Gardner's "Mathematical Games" column in Scientific American.
