werewolf for the zx81 16k

Post by Crayon21 »

There are two games: An easy one then a harder one with random positions
there is no score, just a goal to kill the teens and win. I have not been able to win the second, can you?

In Heck, there are two options for perpetual torment:

Eat the Puckerberry and suffer for eternity:
drink nothing but a cocktail of The Last Dab and Mexican Cake blended and served with
habanero slices

I never understood the concept behind Forth and never will. It makes my head hurt just trying to program it. It doesn't even have a print function for text

Yes it does.

Example.

This is the standard way to print text in Forth.

I imagine you tried it in interpreted mode and got ERROR 4, right?

In Jupiter ACE the word ." can only be used within a definition, try this one:

: hello cr ." Hello World!" ;

Then type hello
