Bots

Bots © 1980 Fabris, Robert.

This 1-player program is a challenge. It sets up a 9x19 grid on the screen. Fifteen 'walls' are randomly placed in the squares, and the 15 'bots'(*) are also randomly placed. Then your position is similarly located.

Hand controller 1 is used to move the target (you) in any of the eight available directions, or stand still, and the trigger makes it happen. (The knob is used to turn a little indicator to the desired direction.) After you make your move, all the bots start to advance upon you, one square at a time, each. If they hit a wall, they disappear. The object is to wipe them out, but it is a difficult job. You have to maneuver yourself so that the bots keep hitting walls.
