Lunar Lander
Lunar Lander Simulation game, 1 dimensional, no graphics.
9/22/21 Added LunarLander2 based on Jim Storer's 1969 FOCAL program. The lunar lander is 500 ft above the moon with a downward velocity of 50 ft/s and has 120 units of fuel. The height, velocity, and remaining fuel are displayed. The program will pause for up to 60 seconds. Enter the number of units of fuel you wish to burn during the next second, then press the Enter key. The new height, velocity and remaining fuel are displayed. The maximum amount of fuel you can burn at one time is 30 units. For more instructions, view the program INFO on the HP Prime. The program was adapted from the Rocket program in Basic Computer Games, MicroComputer Edition, 1978 by David H. Ahl. The Rocket program was written by Eric Peters at Digital Equipment Corporation. A copy of the program is shown below. The Rocket program is a simpler version of the very first lunar lander program that was written by Jim Storer in 1969, while he was a high school student. ADDED 11/9/18. Rocket Program Code from Basic Computer Games, MicroComputer Edition. Code: 10 PRINT TAB(30); "ROCKET" LunarLander.zip (Size: 2.92 KB / Downloads: 47) |
