- WRDSEK, given the words to be used, will construct a 15 by 15
word search puzzle. The computer will use the number of words
you specify, place them in the puzzle at random locations and in
random directions, and then print out a word list, solution, and
the puzzle.
- WRDGES will play 'guess the word' with the user. The user will
be able to determine the word size (up to 50 characters) and the
time in which he has to look at the word. The computer will then
generate the word, let the user look at if for the given amount of
time, then totally eradicate the word, and ask him what it was.
- LIFE is a computerized demonstration of Conway's Game of
Life as found in Scientific American. This program illustrates the
mathematical patterns which result as the organisms on the grid
grow and die. Random or determined starting positions of
organisms may be used, and the program terminates itself when
it has reached an equilibrium.
- LIFES1 is another version of Conway's 'LIFE.' It works with
teletype output.
The population occupies a grid up to 35 wide by 60 long. Excess height
is automatically trimmed to save paper. Changes in the population are
counted and the run stops automatically when the population reaches a
stable pattern.
- TICTAC will play the game of tic tac toe against the user, trying
to pick the move which is most advantageous to the computer.
If the operator makes the first move, the computer will play
defensively. If the computer makes the first move, it will play
offensively. The board is printed out after the computer's move.
