I remember when I was six, my dad programmed a chess game on the Sinclar ZX81. He used to play real-life chess a lot so naturally, this was his first use for this little box. It was slow as hell and he had to pause screen rendering to make it faster. If you call simple backtracking "AI" then I think my dad wrote that "greatest program ever" too without knowing David Horne. (And my dad is definitely no urban myth, either...)
- charltones 17y agoAre you sure the ZX81 he was using didn't have a 16Kb ram pack attached? Most people I know (me included) had one, since it was hard to do anything without it.
- dirtbox 17y agoVery true, but I had this game, it was one of the few that ran without the rampak. I think I used the pak primarily for Bomber and 3D Monster Maze. Good times!
