RTR/!BlindMans/!Help
This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.
Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

This application allows you to navigate a maze using
sound or touch feedback.
To move arround use the four arrow cursor keys.
Menu:-
Rules; This determins the type of game,
Game 1 - You have to click the mouse button where you think you are.
Game 2 - You start in the bottom right corner and have to find the X.
Game 3 - Same as game 2 but you don't know where you start from.
Game 4 - Same as Game 3 but there are lots of Xs.
Game 5 - Find all the Xs but you can click anywhere to set your position.
Game 6 - You have to find all the Xs but they are hidden.
Size; This sets up the size of the maze.
Sense; This determins what senses you can use,
Sight - You can see your position, good for practice but defetes the object
of most games appart from number 6. When this is selected the eye icon
on the icon bar will be open, otherwise it is shut.
Sound - When you bump into a wall you will here a tone whos pitch tells
you if the wall was in front, behind, left or right.
Touch - Use the touch sensors attached to the printer port.
New; This starts a new game.
For the Touch sense option to work you need the hardware described in the Christmas
1996 issue of Acorn User.
