The following listings were published in the November 1987 issue of Computing_with_the_Amstrad:

Type-Ins

• Random Access (Joe Pritchard)
• Centibug (Michael Renwick)
• Basic nobbling (Darren Hughes)
• Biorhythms (Edward Way)
• 3D Cube (Ronan Murphy)
• Muzakology (Alex O'Donovan)
• 3D Plot (Andrew Newsham)
• Hilbert Curve (Ian Sharpe)
• Printer Font Designer (Colin Jones)
• Diamond Trap (Johnathon Pugh)

Notes

• Files I.BAS and II.BAS relate to the Random Access Filing with I.BAS setting up some Machine Code for II.BAS, which asks for a Track and Sector of a Data format Disc before Displaying.
• Centibug, use '\' or 'z' to move left or right dodge the approaching Birds and get the Bugs.
• Basic nobbling - Have a punt at this Horse Racing 10-Liner.
• Biorhythms - Biorhythm calculator
• 3D Cube - Press 'C' and 'A' for clockwise or anticlockwise rotation and 'U', 'D', 'L' and 'R' control movement in other directions.
• Hilbert curve (HILBERT.LOG), runs in DR LOGO 3. Load CP/M Plus and Insert Disc 3 when CP/M Plus has booted, type 'SUBMIT logo3' to load Logo3, when Logo is ready, Insert DSK image and type 'load "hilbert', to load the hilbert curve (making sure a space is included between load and "), the original source from this issue had a few problems, to view I made a further procedure called runhb, once hilbert has loaded runhb can be used to display the Hilbert curve. A further Logo file has also been included called 'askwho.log', which is a simple 'What's your name?' routine, that responds with 'Hello ' followed by whatever the response was, the current Logo code can be cleared from memory with 'erall' and 'load "askwho' to load that example.
• The Printer Font Designer suite includes 3 file, FONTPROD.BAS, FONTDES.BAS & FONTPRINT.BAS.
• Diamond Trap - Uses keys, ']','\','Z','X' and Space for Up, Down, Left, Right or the Joystick can be used.
• Postbag included some short coding tips, along with a BASIC Machine Code Loader programme to Format 3" Disks with the 200k format. These haven't been included since it appears they were previously published, though while problems crept in with the published listings, no attempt was made here to correct those errors.
