Re: Mastermind (tm) - Pool reduction and Minimax algorithms
Hi Marin I definitely have tape decks. Still listen to my C90's (remember C30, C60, C90 go!). If you have tapes I could convert to mp3 for you. I tried for ages to find tapes of TRS-80 programs, but never found anything. I would even have bought second hand as I am sure with DSP even really terrible...

Re: Mastermind (tm) - Pool reduction and Minimax algorithms
Pyramid for the TRS-80 ?? I really cannot be bothered with modern games / consoles at all. Do zero for me as I think life is too short to bother with this rubbish :) Huge industry though. Maybe if I had no job or interests I would favour more? Much rather figure out how to get hedgehogs into my gard...

Re: Mastermind (tm) - Pool reduction and Minimax algorithms
I dare to disagree...
I had plenty of fun with a HP PC running at 25MHz with a whopping 8MB of RAM (stop drooling) playing Doom with infinite lives / indestructabilty. Something just felt good slaughtering all the nasties whilst immune to their weapons

Re: Simulation crashes since last update
Hi I mentioned something along these lines a while back, but I think it related to simulation speed. If I step thru everything is always fine but if I start at full speed or go to full speed then the chart becomes unresponsive needing Task Manager to kill. At full speed it wasn't recognising key pre...

Re: Mastermind (tm) - Pool reduction and Minimax algorithms
Hi
The Mk14 had a rubber membrane Hex keypad and a 8-digit 7-segment display and ran machine code.
Memory (mine) seems to think it generated a 4 digit code that you then tried to figure out. Took forever to play as you had to type in the Hex program before you could play...

Re: Mastermind (tm) - Pool reduction and Minimax algorithms
Hi Martin I was one of the 77 million that had that game <s> One thing I can't remember about it was if the white (correct colour wrong position) and black (correct colour and position) pegs were related to the answer (i.e. peg position aligned) or if they were just informing that you had these resu...

Re: I2C not working in V9
Hi For the PIC to use it's own internal oscillator then you need to use a C-block to enable it. Fortunately Flowcode can assist by using the IntOsc Helper found under Component Libraries > Runtime. Add that to your chart then in properties select from the drop down list the frequency you wish. It wi...
