    I'm trying to figure out how to write a simple game on my Atari 400 which goes like this:

    The Atari picks a random number from 1 to 100. The player enters their name, presses return and then types in a guess. The computer says "Try a higher or lower number or That's it! if they guess it.  The computer keeps track on screen of how long it takes to get the correct number.

    Here's what I have so far but it's not working.  I'm hoping for some help.  Thanks.

      For starters, X has no number being stored in it.  You're missing your statement where the computer is picking a random number.  Until then no one will be able to guess correctly.

    Ok, that’s what I needed To know. Thank you!

    Will the cable for the Atari 1050 disk drive also work on the Atari 810 drive?

    Well, we played my game at Christmas and all my grandchildren loved it! We all had a lot of fun. Thanks for all the help! Now I'm going to try and expand it and make it better for our next gathering! Thanks again. Dennis

    Here's what I ended up doing. It does work it just counts up instead of down. On line 15 how can I make it so the number is a random number between 1 and 800 instead of always being 800? 10 GRAPHICS 2 15 FOR I=1 TO 800:NEXT I 30 FOR X=1 TO 1000 32 POSITION 9,5 35 PRINT #6;X 40 NEXT X

    I tried it but it doesn't count down to 0. It looks like it counting down 1000 to 0, then 900 to 0, then 800 to 0 and so on, but it goes so fast it's really hard to tell. Also, how do I get it into Graphics 2. Is it PRINT #6?

    Wow thanks! I'll give it a try right now. I'll let you know;
  18. D-Man
    OK, thanks!

    Thank you Rick. I was thinking you, or someone, could just type it on this post and then I would write it down. I don't think it's very long...if my memory is corrct. LOL Or you could email it to me. Whatever works best for you.

    I was teaching school when the Atari 800 came out. I wrote a simple program (game) for my students to play. Here it is: The screen read On Your Mark, Get Set, Go! Then it would start counting from 1000 to 0. I would pick a number, say 73, and they would type run and then hit ESC to try to stop it on 73. Whoever came the closest won a prize! I have that program on an Atari floppy disk but no disk drive. Could someone type that program for me so I can play it on Christmas when the grandkids come over. I think it is only a few lines of typing in Graphics 2. I do have the Atari 800 computer so I'll be able to type it in if somebody answers this. Thanks in advance. D-Man
