[Type_ins] Test Match Poster Programs 2

Something's wrong between the ASM and the listing...


Program not debugged.

Thanks for typing the program up.

I found several errors in the BASIC and machine code, and the program now at least runs. However, I'm not sure if further bugs exist or the game is just a bit poorly written. It also doesn't help that I have no idea what it's on about when it talks about a Chinaman and Googlies... A guess a cricket fan will be better placed to comment on whether it makes sense and plays in a sensible way.

Chinaman and Googlies.

Simply put when a right handed spin bowler bowls to a right handed batsman, the normal action is for the ball to turn away from the batsman, a Googly ball turns into the batsman.

A Chinaman is a left handed spin bowler, bowling the mirror image of the right handed bowler re leg spin and Googly etc.

There is more nuance to it but for a simple description it suffices.

I don't very much this game will exhibit such finesse though.

Hi,

Many Thanks Paul !

Cricket may be the English baseball, like soccer the American football...

All very similar really, except in American sport they wear body armour whereas in English sport we break mid-afternoon for a relaxing cup of tea, a sandwich and a slice of cake...

Chinaman and Googlies.

Oh, and talk in jibberish!

My apologies I thought you were genuinely interested.

Nice to be patronised all the same

I can't say I've ever been into cricket, else I would probably already have heard of the terms. I could handle the cup of tea, sandwiches and slice of cake; it's just the rest of it that I'm afraid puts me to sleep. But it is nice to now have an awareness of what the terms mean because otherwise they just make no sense whatsoever!

By jibberish I was referring to the terms themselves, not your excellent explanations of what they mean.

[Moggy]

In which case please accept my apologies for not reading the room right, as it were.

That's a pretty risque poster. I didn't know they played cricket it body-paint suites, check out the "nips"
