ad sell it, or laybe if everybdy chippd in so luch we cold outrigt
buy it? Also stated was that the delays in getting it were partially his
'fault, we kept putting in lore ad lore [good] stuff". Tady M given
free reig on what to add, but lade the restriction that it continue to
run on a 128k lachine - which also slowed develop.ent.
W upgrade features overlappin ad resizable windows, a well a th
caability to love a windw to aother 'screen' via the y. levin listed
the lore tha hlf dozen pople who worked on the project ad cOllnld
on how well they had all kept the secret during dveloplnt.
Kevin also spke abut a new publicity catpaig tor to get underay
soon. He thinks it lay very well bost awareness ad hlp the rest
of us out. Tere are a lot of usage out there that pple just
aren't aware of. For instance, did you know that the cashier co.puters
with the scale on top in J.. Post IIc run on J!
At one point levin stopped ad aked anybody who was not a O user to
raise their had - ad only one person did! And only one othr prson
had a CCo3 with only 128k! Also discovered was that three quarters of
those attending access one network or aother.
Sunday afteroon brougt Frak Hogg, Paul lard, ad M Grsick (Dlnr)
together to butt hads over their differing lachines. Frak spoke or
four lajor desig changes in the WJ. A full t[ or ra ca be put on
the lotherbard directly with sill'S raW1f than using a g
@

Frak also added a interrpt in place ot the $F88 ad ]| chips

(the only differences realistically btwee the W ad CO3) alloing
software elulation of their original tunction. What does all this la?
All 0 softwar, G Pa, and software will work withot
chage! A definte ilproveent ad worth the wait. W Wit that
sOle thin lay r slover, ther will always b tht o roge
prograt that lases it up, bt the Ijority or elisting software will
now run just fine on the T0
Steve Bjork gave the lat selinar on [ prgratling, but with SOle
eItra tile lentioned a interesting device m is selling in aothr
wket. His fMileaccowltat Systesf is a little black boI that
hooks up to your car ad au tOlat i call y logs Ieage charged to vari ous
account nU.bers. It can b reloved ad pluged into a cOlputer to dUlp
the log in a database.
All in all, the fest was a wonderful success. Althoug the tacilities
wre a little sialler, it see led as crowded or l so IM 0rQ
Fests gone by. And lost ilportatly, it was a hck of lot dqr -
rools were about $35, ad even the cost to the eIhibitor v
econolical. Tere was plenty of new software to check out, ad selinrs
to go to (not all were listed here). Altoug the et|tI1r seeled to
N half J ad half J was definately the lajority interst of
the pople attending. c l think that althoug they lay wat to renate
it the Atlata O-Fest after a few years, it will definately be a
regular occurace. Ad hey, we didn't have to listen to Lnnie sing.
Of course the best thing of ay fest is getting to ta:k with people, of
which l certinly did Iy share. I L tl the worst rM\ to tj
voice during one or these things. l thak all of you who sptted Iy
nae (not hard to do eh?) ad cOlplilented e on this la, it's always a
boon to know sOlebody out there apreciates your hard work. Ad
although the show was over at ! l didn't get out of Atlata till
due to a Cinese dinner with a Proctor or two... -`

In the first issue, I put-forth a challeng to write a fat radol
nUlbr genertor. Well, after dredging throug the deluge ot progras,
the results a . And have to say hOI ilpressed I u with the
quality ot prog&l ers out there! We've really got sOle skilled players
on our teu!
All th entries received were judged on th basis of:
1) Otputs nUlbers 1 Ic 18 radolly, using each once.
2) Sped
3) Silplicity ot code
4) A really neat hack
Te Grad Prize is a whole year ot the OSKer tor free, ad the authors
of all other entries printed nr\ 6 Inths tree.

Keith Alponso sent in this very interesting solution in the lN ot
recursive progra. Wi Ie it does output nUibrs I throu t I t' t I
188X radol. Bt it is a neat hack lOuld't have thugt ot ding
it this way.
'include <stdio.h>
'includ <stdlib.h>
'define radol{I) (rad { 32767)X{I))

raprint(l, 111);

t : radol((lal - lin) . 1) ! (lin ! I)i
printt("\nR,t) ;
raprint(t,lu) ;
raprint(lin,t)i
PLAC
Tis progru fits the bill by pre-settin u array, tben stirring it
around ad outputing the nUlbers. Well structured ad cOllented, but
could be hacked silpler

Nl i sn ' t that just so Ich shrter? Ad easier to read yt . A ujor

opt ios opn to you. k good koledge of the l anae ad a l i t t le
i laginat i on i s al l that is .
So, di d you li nd that bg yet? I t real l y lan' t so luch ot a bug a just
a li nor li s tae - coul d have a ty, but I M btter. l in
of code tht sets palns int th rv i ndex 6 shld use a l ower case p,
not the uppr case | Rws 6 ad 7 are in lower cae t o separate ts
pieces are Iho ' s . Cul d get sorta confus ing othrwi se, no?
Okay, your ass i gent for nelt lonth i s to . . . naw, sounds too luch l i ke
a teacher. How abut thi s - yu si lp l i fy th dsprd( ) functi on u send
i t i n. T prson wi th the bst versi on gets thei r funct i on lade part
ot the ' ottkial ' cod, printed in th ug, ad the usual 6 Inths free .
How' s that sound? Ge , school sure would have ben di frerent i t they
gave away free stutt to the bst studnts
Okay, whre Wl I . U yea, about t o start into a nel pi ece ot cod. I
kv sle of yu have N stain out by your lai tbl wtin for this
one . Vei l , vhat to do nlt . BH, vhat we hve . Lsse, a rut i ne
that sets up the bard tor pl ay, ad aother that di splays the current
set t ins . Vi l , sounds l ike i t ' s ti le to lOve a piece, rigt? k just
hOI l te l l our love functi on hOI le lat to love? Si nce the board i s
already i n 1 ad y cordiates , that 10uid probably b the bs t lay. Qf
course , we ca i nput frol the pl ayer in a l et ter/nulber systel, then
tras late to our nUlbrs for process i ng. So lht ds thi s love
functi on real ly? Just lve a pi ece? We ca that as i ly enoug just
by:
1* horsey jUlps over paws : 7 , 6 - 5 , 5 *1
bard [ 5 ] [ 5 ] :bard[ 7J ! 6 ] ;

Wel l , tht ' s too si lpl e t o bther wi th a lhole funct i on for . Mi gt as
lel l just Iri te that i nto th lin cod. Bt a love shoul d only b
al loled i f i t ' s a val i d lOve. Crtain pieces lve only certai n lays .
Ya, bt hw to tel l a cOlpter that, right? Tat ' s defi natel y 10rth
wri t ing a funct i on tor. bp i t returs one nUlbr for a okay love
ad aother i t that love i sn ' t al l owed. HII . Or lay thi s routi ne
shul d just chck lor a val i d lv . leave the t|| lOvi ng to aothr
routi n ( to Ihi ch c N addd sturf for grahi cs ) . Oay, hOI abut
val i d( a, b, c , d) to check a love trol a, b to c, d. Sounds kosher. I t w

So , now hOI brown COl to test each di f ferent pi ece' s tye o f love?
