Subj: INTEREST IN UNIQUE PROGRAMS
I am curious if anyone would be interested in basic programs for the Model 100 that would simulate dice rolls and dice games. I have developed a number of programs with my children for different sided die ranging from six sided to twelve sided because they lose the plastic dies they get with their adventure board games. Now they use their own M100 for all dice rolls in their games. If there is any interest from others facing these kid problems, I would make it a project to clean them up, with the kids, and post them. At his point, all are statistically correct because of some of the unique features of the 100 series. We even have a roulette table running. If you have Nintendo type kids and want to have something to raise their interest in computers, let me note that this has been the only application on any computer I have found that has peaked their interest in computers. The programs have been used by a six year old by himself. Older children have actually taken the programs and written their own without knowing basic. If your kids are missing their "eight sided dies", let me know of your interest.
