Media Price Code: D2 Football Scouting Report Systems BASIC8-34 Submitted by: Harold L. Singer Operating System: EDUsystem-30 Source Language: BASIC Abstract: Two systems for analyzing football scouting information are described. Results of each play are coded on special mark sense cards and the game is exhaustively analyzed by a series of chained EDU-30 BASIC language programs. Actual use by our coaching staff has produced a time savings of from 18 to 30 coaching man hours per week.
Those not having a CM-SE mark sense card reader but equipment capable of running EDU-30 BASIC or OMSI-BASIC can easily code the play information on paper tape using the TTY.
Either of the two described systems can be used unchanged if your coaches can adapt to the notation system used. If they cannot, these systems should prove excellent guides for producing a tailor made system to your coach's specifications. Note: CM-8E mark sense card reader recommended.

Media Price Code: D1 LILAC: Laband's Ingeneous Little Automatic Computer BASIC8-39 Submitted by: Keith Leband Operating System: EDUsystem-25 Source Language: BASIC Abstract: LILAC is a hypothetical machine language written in Edusystem-30 BASIC for a PDP-8 series computer. The program itself is supposed to simulate a real computer's machine language. It contains quite a few instructions that can be found in real assembly languages, but modified in form to fit the needs of this simulator. It also has a few other instructions not found in assembly languages.
Due to the size of the actual program, (on a 4K PDP-8) you are limited to only 175 lines of machine language programming. If you are using a larger BASIC, you can easily modify the program for more programming text.
Since this program simulates many of the steps in learning a real computer's machine language (i.e. the loading and operation of pro- grams) it should be extremely useful to a beginner in machine language programming. Media Price Code: D2, G5 Tutorial Exercises in Chemistry BASIC8-40 Submitted by: Paul Couchon Abstract: Teacher's Guide and Student Workbook are available from DEC's Software Distribution Center.

Size: 4 TSS/8 Disk Segments Media Price Code: D2, G5 STF and STM: Stellar Formation and Stellar Model BASIC8-48 Submitted by: Robert Schaffer Abstract: Two BASIC programs are provided which can be applied to studies of stellar evolution and nuclear physics. STF is used to simulate the birth of any star, given certain parameters. At the same time, it tests the possibility of stellar contraction and the start of fusion. If fusion becomes possible, STF considers the condensation a star, and it halts. If condensation proves impossible, then no simulation of birth is given-STF halts. The second program, STM, is composed of several sub-programs which represent data concerning a given star. These sub-programs make it possible to compute a sun-relative model for any star, plot an H-R Diagram, plot the Mass to Luminosity ratio, or estimate the radius of a star.
These programs are more applicable to CAI than actual scientific studies, due to a simplified view of the processes involved. Media Price Code: D4 GASSER BASIC8-49 Submitted by: Kent Springer Operating System: EDU-20/25 Source Language: BASIC Abstract: This program solves problems involving the Ideal Gas Law equation for any of the four variables in the equation. It will accept temperature in degrees Farenheit, Centigrade, or Kelvin, pressure in P.S.I., atmospheres, or mm of mercury, and volume in liters or milliliters. Media Price Code: D1, G5 CSHHS BASIC-73 BASIC8-50 Submitted by: "PK" Kretzman, George Roukis Abstract: CSHHS BASIC-73 is a language patterned after, and in fact, consisting of numerous modifications to DECUS No. 8-195, POLY BASIC. Extensive rebuilding of both the compiler and editing sections have given the language enormous scope and increased power. Neverthe- less, almost complete upward compatability has been maintained between POLY BASIC and CSHHS BASIC-73. Features include: 1). Computed GO TO, 2) Extended function definitions, 3) Data repointer, 4) Line search feature, 5) 'Tab' function, 6) Improved text handling, 7) Correction of all known POLY BASIC bugs, and many others. Note: No source available. Media Price Code: A2, F20 DISEDU: Loading EDUsystem-20 on the 4K Disk Monitor System BASIC8-51 Submitted by: Jeff Nisler Operating System: 4K Disk Monitor System Source Language: PAL-III Abstract: This program enables the user to load and save EDUsystem 20 on the 4K disk/DECtape monitor system. Media Price Code: D1, G5 (Includes F) POSTER, SIGNS BASIC8-52 Submitted by: Christopher A. Kryzan, Malcolm Slaney
This program also offers a good example of printout control.
This game runs on a PDP-8/L running a standad Edusystem-20 with a three-user configuration.
CHECK6C runs on an 8K PDP-8/L running Edusystem-20 with a three-user configuration.
NLYSIS HAS NO BASIS IN ACTUAL HANDWRITING ANALYSIS. The program is a good example of how the computer's reputation as a "superbrain" can be used to fool the uninitiated.
CLNDR5, with no changes, will run on an 8K Edusystem-20 with three users. When abbreviated (through the use of three-letter commands) the program will run on a four user system.

Restrictions: BRTS User Overlay Area Media Price Code: D1 Symbolic Editor Program BASIC8-92 Author: Christopher A. Kryzan, Northwestern University, Chicago, IL Operating System: EDU-30 Source Language: BASIC Memory Required: 4K Abstract: Text-editing and word processing facilities are welcome and desired on all computer systems, including small systems with only one available compiler at one time period. In order to provide editing capabilities on even these small systems, EDITOR was created. BASIC was seen as one of the most abundant system languages in use on small high-school systems, and thus EDITOR was designed in the BASIC language. Text-editing capabilities similar to standard DEC editors and a character capacity of up to 6600 characters serve to enhance EDITOR's attractiveness. Media Price Code: D6, G7 Scrambled Word Generator BASIC8-94 Author: Christopher A. Kryzan, Northwestern University, Chicago, IL Operating System: EDU-30 Source Language: BASIC Abstract: Oftentimes instructors wish to supplement their lectures with extraordinary teaching aids. One common method utilized by teachers is scrambled word lists. In order to increase the ease with which lists can be compiled, SCRMBL was created. This program will scramble words in lists of up to 150 characters (or more on larger computer systems). An attractive feature of this program is its ability to generate multiple for mass distribution. Media Price Code: D1, G5 MADMAZ Maze Generator BASIC8-95 Author: Christopher A.

The program consists simply of a data list of characters and a routine to enter and output the message, creating punched tape records of up to 400 characters in length. Media Price Code: D1, G5 HOCKEY BASIC8-97 Author: Joseph Cannata, State University of New York at Stony Brook, NY Source Language: BASIC Abstract: This version of HOCKEY is designed to simulate almost every facet of the game. To start, the rink was divided into 24 zones with an odd~ven numbering scheme. This allowed control and monitoring throughout the program. Because of this system, icing, offside passes, and passing could be built in. Icing and offsides are checked by differences in zones. Passing is based on a probability of completing a pass, depending upon whether it is a long or short pass, or whether it is a lateral or back pass. Restrictions: This program was written for use on a Univac 1110 computer, and will require modification for use on most other versions of BASIC. There are approximately 350 lines of code.
