SPEEDWALLER
SpeedWaller is a two-line AppleSoft Basic program implementing a
two-player action game.
I wrote SpeedWaller about 6 years ago, and upon recently finding it deep
in the recesses of my filing cabinet, I decided that it was high time
that I released it to the public. SpeedWaller was written in response
to the numerous two-line AppleSoft Basic programming contests I used to
see in Apple ][ magazines all the time. I wrote SpeedWaller over a
period of many months in my high school computer lab during study hall,
since there was little else to do. The last three months I distinctly
remember because I was trying figure out how to shave off ten more
characters in order to get it to fit in two lines. Crazy.
The program is, to the best of my knowledge, the only two-line
two-player (Applesoft) action game in existence.

=====================
Typing In SpeedWaller
=====================
This program must be typed in exactly as shown, WITHOUT spaces!
For example:
]1ONSCRN(X,Y)<>7ANDB<>0ANDSCRN(U,V) etc...
(The exception to this is the print '?' statement in line 1, which
should have one space between the IJKM and the WASZ, and two spaces
after the WASZ - though this is just for readability)
===================
Running SpeedWaller
===================
Keys to play the game:
player 1 player 2
W I
^ ^
| |
A <-+-> S J <-+-> K
| |
v v
Z M
At the end of the game, you can hit 'return' to start over. If you
want to stop, you need to type control-c while the game is running
(not after it has stopped)
Try playing the game before you read the rules in the "Hints" file.
