You'll need to know the points of the compass and find your bearings in this game by HCW regular Steve Lucas. Track down that rampant rodent A rat has escaped from its cage and you have been given the task of finding it. It is reported to be in hiding somewhere on the 10 x 8 grid displayed on the board. You have just five attempts lo locate it by sending in your tracker to a given square. If it is not at that location, you will be told the compass direction you need to go in to find it. Notes - The co-ordinates will only be accepted by the computer in the form letter number e.g. A5
- The program was written to help children learn about compass directions and you may find that increasing the value of s% in line 50 (to give more lives) helps
