LUNAR LANDER based on the classic video game. Written by Eric Ries for the

TI-82. The 4th game in the ERGAME pack.





LUNAR LANDER is another rehash of the classic video game that many of you

may or may not remember. Most people like this game the best, because it is

both challenging and entertaining.



To play, you will need:

LUNAR

SETLUNAR



To keep score, you must have L6 empty, and with 7 slots, or have the my

menu program, GAMES (part of the ERGAME pack)



To play lunar lander, you must land your little lander module on a flat

surface on the moon. If you miss the flat surface, you DIE.

To control your movement, use the arrow keys:

UP will fire your anti-gravity pods. These decelerate you      

proportional to the the gravitational acceleration (shown in    the upper

right hand corner of the scr

LEFT nd RIGHT will fire thrusrs which will increase the horizontal     

component of your velocity (HORZ= on the bottom of the  screen). Be

careful; momentum is fully in effect here, and  there is no screen

wrapping.

DOWN will give you an extra boost of speed (vertical component of      

velocity.)



There is another catch. Your score is your fuel. You start with 100 points.

every time you push a button, you expend 1 unit of fuel. Thus, you also

lose a point. When you land safely, you gain fuel/points proportional to

how fast you are going. Sound tricky? It sure is! 



LUNAR LANDER was written by me, Eric Ries, while in high school (well, I

still am) and since I have so many boring classes I get time to program

every now and again. I do not get to use the LINK for programming, so if

you want to get a taste of what it's like, type these in BY HAND! 



I do not own a TI-82, I must borrow my teacher's. When I graduate, I will

no longer have access to this 82. If you wish to see more cool games like

this one, feel free to send a small token of your appreciation (i.e. money,

or just a post card if you want) to:
