You had told me this ages before, I think. My construction will take
600 hours for one season. The idea is a whole story. For this, you
have to go from one ****t to another. Another big task for the captain
is to take enough cargo on board for the travel from ****t x to ****t y.
And when the ****p cannot touch the next ****t before water and food are
off... game over.
At the moment I'm fighting with the GUI of the WIMP (just learning).
The first program is running now but it's a long, long way to go for
me either. (RISC OS isn't very simple to kick but it is still doing
what I want.)
Can you send me a copy of the listing of the game "Round the Horn",
please?
Merci,
Alex'
