ROBOT for VT-100

Postby AltairClone » June 12th, 2015, 10:19 pm

If you've ever tried running the ROBOT game on the BASIC games disk, you've probably noticed it uses screen control characters and expects an ADM-3 or Regent terminal. However, since most of us are using terminal emulators or something like the Briel PockeTerm, we only have VT-100 emulation. I have updated ROBOT to use VT-100 screen control so we can all finally play the game :)

The source is in the Extended BASIC folder http://altairclone.com/downloads/basic/BASIC%20Programs/Extended%20or%20Disk/. Upload the file to BASIC by setting the delay after each line to 300ms and doing a simple file send operation.
