Arctic Adventure
By Harry McCracken
For Tandy TRS-80

Solution by Garry Francis
----------------------------------------
This is a minimal solution. Directions must be given in full, e.g. GO NORTH instead of N. Use LOOK
to examine things. Type HELP for some helpful advice, then follow the advice to get further help.

NOTE: The game won't run as printed in 'The Captain 80 book of BASIC adventures due to a
few bugs. In particular, add a "0" at the start of the second string in line 1240 so that
it reads "001...", rather than "01...".

If you have problems with the input and flashing cursor routine (as I did), change the following
lines:

170 PRINT "YOUR COMMAND-->";CHR$(176); : I$ = "" : GOSUB 210
210 A$ = INKEY$ : IF A$ = "" THEN 210
220 IF ASC(A$) < 32 AND ASC(A$) <> 8 AND ASC(A$) <> 13 THEN 210
230 IF A$ = CHR$(8) THEN IF POS(0) > 16 THEN PRINT CHR$(8); CHR$(8); CHR$(176); : I$ = LEFT$(I$,
LEN(I$) - 1) : GOTO 210 ELSE 210
240 IF A$ = CHR$(13) THEN PRINT CHR$(8); : GOTO 270
250 IF POS(0) < 30 THEN PRINT CHR$(8); A$; CHR$(176); : I$ = I$ + A$ : GOTO 210
260 GOTO 210
270 GOSUB 1050 : IF I$ = "" PRINT "WHAT?"; : GOSUB 1050 : GOTO 150
275 I$ = I$ + " "
