The game of Mastermind rules: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mastermind_(board_game)[^] (You probably played it as a kid).

Chris started it last week, and I think it adds a dimension to this.

Black - right letter, right location.
White - right letter, wrong location.

So if my word was "ZEBRAS" (it's not, BTW) and your guess was "BOLLOX" then you'd have "1 White" for the 'B' - right letter, wrong location. If you guessed "ZOFTIG" then you'd have "1 Black" for the 'Z'.

Boxes? Where are they? All I see there is 3 rectangles. For them to be boxes/cubes, you should have made them look 3D, you know... Laugh | :laugh:

Whats remarkable is the selling price now is cheaper than the selling price then, even ignoring inflation.

Why not just pick up the original at fleabay?

Edit:
When the weather gets worse, I will take my copy of Jay Miner's[^] first chipset for a spin again. I never had one of the second 16 bit chipsets.

For those who are confused: The first chipset was for the 8 bit Ataris, the second one for the Amiga.

The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

Oh , I already have two in the loft. Just like the two in the loft, I doubt any of the others are 100% functional. Not only that, but I'd have to buy a tape deck...

Tape recorders are hard to get by now. Did they use a regular one or did they have a special little recorder with motor control?

For my old computer I now use an old notebook which loads and saves the data in WAV files over the speaker and microphone plugs. I also have a program that can recover the binary data from the WAV samples. How about writing a digital tape recorder program with which you can archive everything from the old tapes?
