Forklift is an excellent combination of a simple
word recognition game with a logic puzzle and will allow young
children to learn whilst having fun driving their own forklift
truck! Because of the logic puzzle involved some parental help will
be required (some parents might even find it quite a challenge
themselves!).
The routine is based around an article by Tom
Hudson in ANALOG magazine for printing text in Graphics 8 which Stan
Ockers has modified to print blocks of characters using the call
A=USR(ADDR, X, Y, BADR, SIZE, WIDTH) where:
| ADDR |
is the address of the string
holding the routine (lines 4000 - 4100). |
| X |
is the X position as in Graphics
0. |
| Y |
is the Y position as in graphics
8. |
| BADR |
is the address of the string
holding the block of characters to be printed. |
| SIZE |
is the number of characters in
the block. |
| WIDTH |
is the number of characters in
each horizontal row of the block. |
The object of the game is to take three rhyming
words from the pile on the left and stack them in the pile on the
right. Use a joystick in port 1.
