I just posted a new game to script central
Lunar Lander.
Some of you may remember this from the Apple II e days.
The help text from the script follows:
 
Press Control-Alt-Shift-L to play the LunarLander game.
You are landing on the moon and have taken over manual control
500 feet above the surface of the moon.
You have a downward velocity of 50 feet per second
and you have 120 units of fuel remaining.
Your objective is to land softly on the moon and still have fuel remaining.
To do this, you must burn fuel at a rate which will slow you down,
but not exhaust the fuel too early!
Unfortunately, you cannot burn fuel at a constant rate and accomplish your objective.
If you burn the same amout of fuel twice in a row, you will forfeit 1 unit of fuel!
you can burn from 1 to 30 units of fuel at a time!
You need to land with a downward velocity of 10 feet per second or less!
Enter letter r alone to repeat your current status.
Good luck!
 
Try it out and let me know if there are any problems.
Jeff Weiss
