Fed up with typing in mega-listings? Bored with entering hex dumps? Want to learn a little about Basic? Here's a short Basic program that really shows the potential of Locomotive Basic for writing games. This will work on any of the CPC computers but not the PCWs. The idea of the game is to control a racing car travelling round a grid. A robot car is travelling round in the opposite direction and will attempt to crash into you as you drive round. So to avoid it you'll have to switch lanes. In the meantime you must drive over the dots to accumulate a score. Driving over all the dots on one screen entitles you to go to the next screen and do it all again. The author, Mark Edmonds, reminds us that some typing can be saved by using the copy cursor (Shift and the cursor keys). For example, line 470 is the same as 650. ACU #8606
