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.

Figure It
=========
Figure it is aimed to give an insight into different sorts of number series.
It explores Prime numbers, Fibonacci Series, Square numbers, Triangle
numbers and multiples of any number up to 100. All this information can be
seen graphically on a number grid - the size of which can be defined by the
user. It is aimed at Key Stages 2, 3 and 4, Attainment Target 5 (Number).
It gives factual information on any individual number; including all of the
above plus the prime factors of the number, whether it is odd or even and
whether it is perfect. All of these terms are explained within the program.
All this information can be saved in a variety of ways by the user for
inclusion in further investigations.
To encourage children with multiplication tables and understanding the
concept of factors and multiples there is a game of 'connect 4' that is played on a 10x10 grid. 00000000 54 68 69 73 20 69 73 20 21 46 69 67 75 72 65 49 |This is !FigureI| 00000010 74 2c 20 76 65 72 73 69 6f 6e 20 31 2e 30 30 20 |t, version 1.00 | 00000020 28 30 36 20 4a 75 6e 20 31 39 39 33 29 0a 57 72 |(06 Jun 1993).Wr| 00000030 69 74 74 65 6e 20 62 79 3a 20 4d 61 72 74 69 6e |itten by: Martin| 00000040 20 47 6f 6c 64 62 65 72 67 0a 0a 20 20 20 20 20 | Goldberg.. | 00000050 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 | | 00000060 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 46 69 67 75 | Figu| 00000070 72 65 20 49 74 0a 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 |re It. | 00000080 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 | | 00000090 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 3d 3d 3d 3d 3d 3d 3d 3d 3d | =========| 000000a0 0a 0a 46 69 67 75 72 65 20 69 74 20 69 73 20 61 |..Figure it is a| 000000b0 69 6d 65 64 20 74 6f 20 67 69 76 65 20 61 6e 20 |imed to give an | 000000c0 69 6e 73 69 67 68 74 20 69 6e 74 6f 20 64 69 66 |insight into dif| 000000d0 66 65 72 65 6e 74 20 73 6f 72 74 73 20 6f 66 20 |ferent sorts of | 000000e0 6e 75 6d 62 65 72 20 73 65 72 69 65 73 2e 0a 49 |number series..I| 000000f0 74 20 65 78 70 6c 6f 72 65 73 20 50 72 69 6d 65 |t explores Prime| 00000100 20 6e 75 6d 62 65 72 73 2c 20 46 69 62 6f 6e 61 | numbers, Fibona| 00000110 63 63 69 20 53 65 72 69 65 73 2c 20 53 71 75 61 |cci Series, Squa| 00000120 72 65 20 6e 75 6d 62 65 72 73 2c 20 54 72 69 61 |re numbers, Tria| 00000130 6e 67 6c 65 0a 6e 75 6d 62 65 72 73 20 61 6e 64 |ngle.numbers and| 00000140 20 6d 75 6c 74 69 70 6c 65 73 20 6f 66 20 61 6e | multiples of an| 00000150 79 20 6e 75 6d 62 65 72 20 75 70 20 74 6f 20 31 |y number up to 1| 00000160 30 30 2e 20 41 6c 6c 20 74 68 69 73 20 69 6e 66 |00.
