As promised in an early edition of CPC464 User here is the listing of the prize-winning 'Beat the Clock' program.

The game is a cross between a word game and a race against time. You are given a set of letters and have to make as many words as possible within the given time. Full instructions are included in the program. The game turns the screen black whilst it sets some things up so don't be alarmed. It would be impossible for the program to know all the words in the English language, even if it did it would be a pain to have to type them all in to the program. This means that you have to be honest and only offer it valid words. No cheating now! Loader Program.

Save this on the tape before the main program.

L'Amstrad CPC est une machine 8 bits à base d'un Z80 à 4MHz. Le premier de la gamme fut le CPC 464 en 1984, équipé d'un lecteur de cassettes intégré il se plaçait en concurrent  du Commodore C64 beaucoup plus compliqué à utiliser et plus cher. Ce fut un réel succès et sorti cette même années le CPC 664 équipé d'un lecteur de disquettes trois pouces intégré. Sa vie fut de courte durée puisqu'en 1985 il fut remplacé par le CPC 6128 qui était plus compact, plus soigné et surtout qui avait 128Ko de RAM au lieu de 64Ko.
