Hi,

back in the early 1970's before the invention of the micro-computer I owned a Honeywell H-1112 12 bit computer for which I wrote a basic interpreter and converted some of those early text only games for it. Here are two that I have converted for the Colour Maximite. Mastermind is self explanatory and Qubic is a 4x4x4 tic-tac-toe game where you choose your square as layer,row,Coloumn sor 111 is the top left square of the first layer and 444 would be the bottom right hand square of the 4th layer. Here are the download links for those who would like a blast from the past.

Have fun,
Ian

if this doesn't work perhaps someone can tell me how to create a working link.

thank you for that and as they say 3rd time lucky :-

Mastermind.bas

Qubic.bas

Mastermind tries to show how clever the computer is at this game and
Qubic can be beaten but it plays a pretty strong game.

Just to check is this the Colour Maximite 2 or the older Colour Maximite?

I orignally modified them for the colour maximite but then added a couple of minor things when I ported them to the Colour Maximite 2 so they run on the two but you would only need to change a couple of statements for them to work on the oroginal colour maximite.

Hi Ian,

Qubic.bas line 38:

If j1=1 Then GoTo L2770

But there is no label "L2770" in the code.

Best wishes,

Tom

Hi Tom,

yes I know, normally all the values are between 111 and 444 and if you input 0 it will print out the board and 1 was for something else which I think I never implemented. Might have been to suggest a move but as I say I never implemented it on the version for my old Honeywell 112 and so it wasn't ported to the colour maximite and then the colour maximite 2. Though that goto instruction is still in there and could be removed.
