Message-ID: <116@kl-cs.cs.kl.ac.uk> Date: 10 Jul 88 22:57:07 GMT Organization: U. of Keele, Staffs. U.K. Lines: 22 OK. I got wanderer going. I had to do it on a Sun as our Ultrix 1.2 machine puked at nocbreak() and cbreak(). Must be some function Sun's got that Ultrix hasn't. I've done the first four levels no problem (well a little at 3 maybe). The screen isn't always tidied up (leaves Jumping to next screen message on and that gets part eaten by full map displays) but I can cope with that (I may even have a crack at fixing it). What I can't cope with is the blatent cheating on level 5. I practise away until I can do it easily by skipping to the screen and practising, and then off I go back to the beginning to get the really MEGA score. But when I start clearing off the $'s on the top right of the board all of a sudden from off the playing area a boulder appears and knocks me on the head. I can't get the $ without getting killed it's impossible. OK so who's the joker who put that little feature in, I'm off to sulk until someone tells me how to get around it. -- _____ Jonathan Knight, || JANET: jonathan@uk.ac.keele.cs / Deptartment of Computer Science || UUCP: ...!ukc!kl-cs!jonathan / _ __ University of Keele, Keele, |+-------------------------------- (_/ (_) / / Staffordshire.
