Programs converted to VB-6 and C++ Builder are at the beginning of this screen with source code. Warning: Visual Studio and .NET support will be slowly phased out at this site someday:
Tic tac toe program.
to demonstrate use of VB6 resource files and temp files. It is a programming
exercise only. It was used to explore a variety of items needed for other programs. It is dedicated
to my grand daughter Sarah as an introduction to artificial intelligence. i.e. Don't be fooled by the old
grandpa behind the curtain. Source code is provided so that you can swap out sound files of your own chosing.
All the sound files used here are from a public website and are copyright MGM Studios from the movie "Wargames".
As such, commercial use of this program is prohibited unless you first create your own sound files and have
The screensavers here should work with XP and Windows 2000
Upgraded with VB6 and the help of several open source elves Drag .scr file to system file under winnt or windows directory. Right click on desktop to select screensavers.
Warning: the screen savers made here were designed for Windows 3.1 &
95 and do not run or run poorly in Windows 98 and above. Some of the ini
files may have the same names as other ini files in this series, please check before
unzipping. These are presented for the techno-curious and for
the good of all Rylans.
Several hand made screen savers=:)======*Ketan's mechanism
Shows the mechanism used by the Winfree spiro-simulator program above. Built for
the amusement of Ketan Schroff and the BASID department!! Suggest using
a Pentium XXX at 300TeraHZ.
Many of the programs here were originally written for sale many, many
years ago and were copyrighted and marketed by Science Specialists, Inc.,
a company started by my wife and I . Some were prototypes of Windows programs
and do not have any source code documentation. Others simply never saw
the light of day. Science Specialists , Inc. now invites you to take an
old dead thing and make it live again. If you rewrite & change the
look and feel of the program its yours! If you send me an improvement or
a totally different program that simply behaves better, I will post it
without copyright and will encrypt the machine language version it so that
your name is preserved forever as the creator of the new version!! No error
trapping was included in most of these programs. No one had ever heard
of Visual Basic or C++. File handling was a black art and improper entry
meant 'start over'! But because these particular programs are often helpful
their source code and compiled versions are zipped and presented here.
If you choose to use these programs in a commercial product as-is rather
than take the few hours to rewrite them, then you must pay Science Specialists,
Inc. a small licensing fee, (call 1-800-456-4448 ). That would be terribly
foolish but it would be better than being sued!!! High schools and colleges
are granted permission to use them as-is without charge provided no money
is made from their use or resale and provided that copyright notices are
preserved.
1. Windows based computer art program
Alert:AMT Students...
Math problems giving you headaches, these programs may help .......
Use following programs on homework or use TI-80 series calculator...
2. Solve simultaneous equations with real coefficients and values. Older DOS based program.
A tribute to the thousands of programmers resurrecting and emulating old ROM games & computers. A nodding wink from that old game warrior her own self:
This Ms. pacman gif is from a typical Mame32 site in Germany.
These game emulators represent a milestone in computer science (This page last editted December 2008)
