LOG HOP by Christopher Gibbs from ZX Computing Oct/Nov.1984 Would-be lumberjack Christopher Gibbs sent us this challenging program from Reading Forest. A program which is as addictive as this and yet written in BASIC is a rare thing indeed. Christopher has created a game which is not only fast but fits into 16K with room for titles as well! As can be inferred from the title, the game involves jumping over logs and up through gaps to reach the rings at the top of the screen. You control a running man with keys 5 and 8 for left and right movement and key 0 to jump. If you jump and miss the hole above you, you will be rendered unconscious for a short period of time and may fall through an approaching gap in the level you have reached. Three levels of difficulty are included and a hall of fame chart for those who become adept enough to reach a good score. Christopher says his highest score so far is 93%. I admit to not getting any score at all - mind you, I wasn't feeling too well. The score is worked out on the time you take to reach the rings. So for a real test of your ability type in this relatively short program - go on, hop to it!
