LUNAR LANDER based on the classic video game. Written by Eric Ries for the
TI-82. The 4th game in the ERGAME pack.


LUNAR LANDER is another rehash of the classic video game that many of you
may or may not remember. Most people like this game the best, because it is
both challenging and entertaining.

To play, you will need:
LUNAR
SETLUNAR

To keep score, you must have L6 empty, and with 7 slots, or have the my
menu program, GAMES (part of the ERGAME pack)

To play lunar lander, you must land your little lander module on a flat
surface on the moon. If you miss the flat surface, you DIE.
To control your movement, use the arrow keys:
UP will fire your anti-gravity pods. These decelerate you      
proportional to the the gravitational acceleration (shown in    the upper
right hand corner of the scr
LEFT nd RIGHT will fire thrusrs which will increase the horizontal     
component of your velocity (HORZ= on the bottom of the  screen). Be
careful; momentum is fully in effect here, and  there is no screen
wrapping.
DOWN will give you an extra boost of speed (vertical component of      
velocity.)

There is another catch. Your score is your fuel. You start with 100 points.
every time you push a button, you expend 1 unit of fuel. Thus, you also
lose a point. When you land safely, you gain fuel/points proportional to
how fast you are going. Sound tricky? It sure is! 

LUNAR LANDER was written by me, Eric Ries, while in high school (well, I
still am) and since I have so many boring classes I get time to program
every now and again. I do not get to use the LINK for programming, so if
you want to get a taste of what it's like, type these in BY HAND! 

I do not own a TI-82, I must borrow my teacher's. When I graduate, I will
no longer have access to this 82. If you wish to see more cool games like
this one, feel free to send a small token of your appreciation (i.e. money,
or just a post card if you want) to:
