The lure of thai yellow stuff, I<br />
can almost smell it, more than a<br />
teacher gets in a week! Thetrou<br />
ble is that nothing comes easy<br />
and the previous owner put<br />
some pretty formidable<br />
obstacles in the way of getting<br />
hold of it.<br />
I know it's in the castle but<br />
the first job is getting in there,<br />
the gatekeeper wants a passnumber<br />
before letting me enter<br />
and I think he has cannabalistic<br />
tendencies. Still, he's pretty<br />

Mark has produced an entertaining<br />

ducing a game which makes it a<br />
challenge to everyone in<br />
eluding the programmer who<br />
types it in, as there are no preset<br />
codes which will help the typist<br />
solve the game.<br />
To enhance the end result a<br />
variety of BEEPs and <strong>graphics</strong><br />
have been used at appropriate<br />
points. As the program is essen<br />
tially a suite of subgames,<br />
variables are repeated in each<br />
