Games • Re: Converting Old Text-based BASIC games.

Hi,

Here is another interesting game, "Chomp" that had its origins in a January 1973 issue of Scientific American magazine. The game was described in an article by Martin Gardener. A BASIC version of this game is included in the book "BASIC Computer Games" by Creative Computing, copyright 1978.

My LiveCode implementation is pretty close to the original except I used HTML formatting to introduce colored text. I'm a bit new to working in HTML so I am having a bit of a struggle getting the title "Chomp" to be centered in the GameBoard field. Suggestions welcome.

Have fun with "Chomp"...there may be a few more of these coming. They are short and fun to code.
