You move your android to any adjacent square on a 10 x 10 playing board studded with destructive force fields and up to 49 enemy robots in such a way as to lure the robots into their own electronic booby traps and save the android. The robots will always close on the android, moving to the square adjacent to their present position which is nearer to the row and column position of the android, and will team up to destroy him. The android, like the robots, is destroyed by moving into a force field, and the android is also destroyed by colliding with a robot. If robots collide all but one involved are destroyed. You choose the initial number of robots. The number of force fields is equal to the initial number of robots plus one. Even a few robots can be challenging and the more robots the more difficult. All initial positions are randomly generated.
If you move the android into a force field you will see "ZAP" then "TOO BAD". If you move the android into a robot you will see "STOMP" then "TOO BAD". If a robot stumbles into a force field you will see "STUMBLE". And, if robots hit, you will see "BUMP". Finally, if all robots are destroyed, you will see "YOU WIN".
The board is set up as below:
Board positions are denoted as x.y . The android shown is at 7,2. To move the android use the digits keys to specify directions as follows:
1 - down and left 6 - right
2 - down 7 - up and left
3 - down and right 8 - up
4 - left 9 - up and right
5 - no movement
Note: Do not move off the board. Execution times at all points in the program increase with the initial number of robots.
Note: Requires 1 Memory Module on HP-41C
