The program was written in 1992 and could definitely be optimized to run faster. The drawing primitives are at lines 200 and 225. It looks like the subroutine at line 800 does collision detection. ============ 10 GOSUB 1000 100 W = W + 1: IF W > LV THEN W = 0:…

Apple Disk Transfer (ADT) by Paul Guertin is one of the simplest packages to use. Although many Apple II web sites still have software in Shrinkit (.SHK) format, the .DSK format is catching on. There are currently 3 packages…
By Cecil Fretwell Telecommunications is not a new subject.
