Drop Out - B.Herivel & M.Rapps (Your Spectrum-No.15-Page 61)



Here's a clever little program for all you clever Speccy owners out there! 

The game's designed for 2-5 players and the more of you there are the better

the game. The aim is to get six of your counters through the maze-box by mo-

ving the sectors of the box to left and right. This clears a path for your

counters to drop down. Remember, you're not alone - your opponents will be

out to stop you so prepare for some hot competition. All you have to do to

destroy one of your opponent's pieces is to land on it. Simple, eh? Just you

try it.

 Your turn to move a section comes when the computer has rolled five dice.

The number of moves you can make to each of the ten sections hangs on the 

throw of the dice. If you haven't quite followed all that don't worry the

instructions are also in the game so you can play and learn at the same time.

You're going to need a lot of concentration and some quick thinking to play

the game. So, drop in and Drop Out!

Lines 100-200   This is the main playing loop.

Lines 300-410   This is the end-of-game routine.

Lines 7000-7720 This large block of code contains various subroutines to do

                the complicated maths in the game.
