GAME NOTES

In this game the computer tries to guess your favourite food.  It asks questions 
to which you can reply by entering capital Y for yes or capital N for no.

At first the computer does not do very well.  However, if you play several games 
the computer will build up a question 'tree' by asking players to enter extra 
questions that have yes or no answers.

If the computer cannot answer your question the message "SUGGEST ANOTHER QUESTION" 
will appear.  For instance, the question "WHAT COLOUR IS IT?" would be rejected 
because the answer is neither Y nor N.  In then same way, if your favourite food 
is LEMONS, and the computer guesses BANANAS, the question "IS IT YELLOW?" would be 
no good because it has the answer Y for both fruits.

The program allows the computer to store up to 49 questions and 50 types of food.  
If your machine has room for more questions in its memory, you may increase the 
value of J in line 110.

Whenever you play this game remember that typing RUN clears the computer's memory.  
To restart the game without losing the current stock of questions, type GOTO 200.

Spectrum users can record the program together with all stored questions, using 
the command SAVE "BANANAS" LINE 200.
