- These programs were put together to help me learn PASCAL.
- They function fairly well as games and are provided for your
- amusement. Although intructions are provided by each program,
- a brief description of each program is provided below.
-
- ARTILLRY.PAS
- This is a typical cannon shooting game. You pick an angle to
- fire the cannon at and, if you get close enough, you hit the
- enemy.
-
- BACCARAT.PAS
- Baccarat is a card game popular in Europe. It is a high
- stakes gambling game favored by the rich (us poor types can't
- afford it). The player and the bank get two cards each. Tens
- and face cards count 0, number cards count their value and
- aces count one. Each player totals his cards modulo 10
- (anything over 10 is dropped) and the higher total wins. An
- additional card may be added if desired. A total of 8 or 9 on
- the initial two cards is called a "NATURAL" and wins
- immediately. An example of counting; dealt an ace and a six,
- the player has a total of seven; dealt a jack and a three,
- the player has a total of three; dealt a five and an eight,
- the player has a total of three (thirteen minus ten).
-
- BJGAME.PAS
- This is the time honored game of blackjack. This is a pretty
- rudimentary version of the game as splitting and doubling
- down are not allowed. Blackjacks are honored, but pay only
- even money. Blackjack pushes are won by the house. The dealer
- plays on even if you bust and thus can also bust. This is a
- push (no bet).
-
- BLACKBOX.PAS
- This a game to guess where a hidden object (or objects) are
- in a black box. You do this by shooting balls into the box
- and observing where they exit (if they exit). This is
- affected by the way the ball enetering approaches the waiting
- object. If it hits head on, the ball is absorbed, if it
- passed between two objects separated by one space, the ball
- is reflected back to the source, if it is adjacent to an
- object on the edge, the ball is reflected back to the source,
- if it is diagonal to an object, the ball is reflected at a
- right angle to the original path.
-
- BLOCK.PAS
- This is a block letter producer.
-
- BOGGLE.PAS

- This is a rather complicated horse race game. A series of

- keyboard is pressed.
