| These file Downloads below were some of the first
we were asked to write and though, to the expert seem ridiculously easy,
presented us freshers with huge problems. However, looking at them again
two years on it is now possible to see the strategy placed within their
content. I have included the 'pas' files created in Turbo Pascal and the
compiled executables. Providing you have 'Dos' on your comp (Windows 95,
98, ME- not NT or 2000) once downloaded, these programs should run when
the icon is double clicked. If you wish to experiment with the 'pas' file
you will need the Turbo Pascal 7 compiler. Pascal is a high level programming
language that has gone out of fashion, having said that I have, and still
do, enjoy many hours doodling at my computer writing and experimenting with
programs in this compiler. Indeed there are many gifted programmers out
there on the web that have written programs whose graphical skills and knowledge
would take your breath away. In the narrative above I have targeted the
fresher and hobby programmer. Like me, they enjoy doodling on their computer.
Pascal has taught me the basics of programming and opened the door to object
orientated programming. I still have much to learn and with the many tutorials
out there on the net, there is no excuse not to. |
