OK, thank you.

After a short look at the code I wonder why some integer constants carry trailing zeroes (e.g. 4.0, 0.0, 6.0 ...). And what about an optimized more effective (shorter and faster) version ?-)

BTW, I am missing the rules of the game and an example of a session. What's the highest possible score a player can achieve?

There is a "HP35s virtual calculator" by HP. AFAIK it comes with the real thing on CD. Since I already bought my 35s in 2007 (with the printed manual, but without a CD) I downloaded the emulator some years ago from the HP website.

Edit: I didn't find it on the HP website. Did they change their policy? However, I am quite sure it is still available somewhere. Try Google.

And finally:

I am not sure what exactly you are looking for. You know hp41uc, don't you? It's here (and possibly a newer version somewhere else). I use it here and there with the V41 emulator to generate program listings, but it can do much more.
