Game of CRAPS in BASIC

Post by ahenry3068 »

FOR EMULATOR R42
Ok.. This is kind of what I came here for.
Got the game kind of looking like I imagine.

Only about 2/3rds of the game logic done... Win or lose the bet on the first roll only.
Next logic is to make the POINT. (Google Rules of CRAPS if not familiar).
THIS IS MY NEXT IMPLEMENTATION.

My Music Knowledge sucks. Sound effects are place holders only at the moment.
I need to have a sound collaborator or really do a lot of playing with the sound commands and a bit
of music study.

Right now Dice are only displayed as numbers.. After I have the full Game Logic implemented I'm going to
draw a facsimile of actual DICE on Screen with PETSCII Characters.


Cut and Paste the following Code into the R42 emulator





10 REM THIS IS THE CRAPS PROGRAM
20 DIM DI(2): REM THESE ARE THE TEMPORARY DICE VALUES
21 DIM MSG$(18): REM GAME MESSAGES.
22 GOSUB 6000 : REM SET MESSAGES TO BLANK STRING

50 MSG$(2) = "LETS PLAY A GAME OF CRAPS !"

OK, Just notice that pasting my code into this forum it reduced all of my strings of spaces to "".
I don't think this will effect game logic but it might make some of the display a little Wonkey.


Anyone know why this happened ?

There are different buttons on the toolbar you can use for posting code...

Code: Select all

The </> button is the "Code" tag.
The C64 button makes things look like this.
And the X16 button makes things look like this.

OK THIS ONE HAS THE PROPER SPACE FILLED STRINGS INTACT: ..... Yay.
IT WILL LOOK MUCH BETTER WHEN RAN....

I would so like someone who has a musical Ear to step in and help me with sound effects.
INTRO (Maybe)
ROLLING THE DICE
WON A BET
LOST A BET
LOST IT ALL
BROKE THE BANK

Simple but well made. Was fun to play, and very impressive for being done in BASIC. If i could suggest one thing, I'd maybe let the user roll again without having to enter their bet if they neither crap out or win the roll.

This is works in progress... I'm implementing that logic as I'm pausing to write this. :-)

Wish I had a QuickBasic like compiler...lol
I haven't programmed using Line #'s since the 80's
