History

This game is written by Jasper de Keijzer to get a feeling of Java. The original code was written in Turbo Pascal (anno 1983) and delivered by Borland as sample code. The code was converted with a Pascal to C - converter ( HOBBES OS/2 cdrom) to make a OS/2 GUI version out of it. The converter gave indeed working code but unreadable and with some errors in the array indexes. Pascal starts at index one and ends at the given boundary while C starts at zero etc.. This OS/2 GUI code is used to write the applet. To get it working all kinds of pointer constructions needed to be removed and typedefs objectified.

Game is best viewed with Firefox.
