World-Wise is a geography program and you have to select from a range of features, such as river, mountain or town. You then think of the name of, say, a river and the computer asks you questions which you have to answer, as it tries to guess what you are thinking of. If it fails, you tell it what you were thinking of and describe a question to distinguish it from another answer. It adds these details to its store of knowledge for future use. The program is reasonably well produced, but is provided with very little data. It seems to go through menus needlessly every time you want to have another go. There are two main failings with this type of program for home use. First, if you are the only person using the program, you quickly learn what words the computer knows and second, it is dependent on the correct information being entered when the program asks for details. If rubbish or incorrect answers are entered, it makes a total nonsense of the program. Unfortunately, children frequently know the name of something, but not the details, so incorrect information is a common problem. ACU |

Page créée en 056 millisecondes et consultée 2951 fois 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. |
