Introduction

This is a simple DOS-based computer game written in BASIC. Your job is to convert it to Python3.

BASIC is a general-purpose, high-level programming languages. For more information click HERE .

History

I originally saw a version of this game (source code) in a book. Using the book, I painfully typed in the whole game. It took a while because of my typos, etc.

I input and ran the game on my IMSAI 8080 microcomputer. The IMSAI 8080 was a kit. It came in a box containing chassis parts, boards, chips, etc. It took many many hours to build and solder the components onto the boards. For more information on the IMSAI 8080 click HERE . (My monitor was a modified portable TV.)

Project #1

Convert the source code (program) from BASIC to Python3. This may require re-structuring and/or redesigning the code. (Don't forget to create better variable names.)

See "Start Here" below for the BASIC program to convert into Python3.

This can be a difficult project.

Project #2

Replace the printout with a real screen (window). For the class use graphics.py. It is a simple graphics library.
