Are you the Jeff Cameron that wrote the STARTREK game for the DEC Rainbow? If so, what a great version of the old STARTREK computer game. I love the added graphics. Is the source available? What language is it written in? |
Yes, I wrote STARTREK for the DEC Rainbow
about 12 years ago. I had never written a PASCAL program
before, and I needed to learn PASCAL to teach a class, so I
picked up Turbo Pascal for the Rainbow, and decided to
write, from scratch, the classic STARTREK PC game from the
ground up, along with new graphical enhancements. All of the
graphic enhancements use ANSI/ASCII standard
sequences. The source is written in Turbo Pascal
Version 3.0 and is written in overlays due to the then 64K
program section limit of the time. I still have the source,
and if anyone is interested in porting the program to
another platform, I will send you the source, just
send
me email requesting it, and I'll
send it back to you. If you have a DEC Rainbow and would like
the game distribution, download
this trek3.zip file, or you can
read the
distribution
information.
