Android Nim	Adventure International	1978	androids basic commercial executing forethoughtrequired idleactivity keyboard laserbolts laserweapons license-proprietary machinecodelang nim perfectinformation softscifi sourcecodeavailable traditional visiblelasers	I wrote the original Android Nim program for the Radio Shack TRS-80 computer in 1978. It was well accepted since few graphics programs were done on that machine owing to the low resolution and lack of color. The feature that most people commented about was the android animation which included head and arm movement and eye blinking. People also liked the bad attitude the computer had when it lost. The program was written for my 7th and 8th grade students to help them learn about the binary system. Nim can be analyzed mathematically using base two. With this knowledge, a player can always win. This characteristic also makes this game a good one to put on a computer since the computer can be taught how to always win.*The well known game of NIM will never be the same. In this version there are three robots (ANDROIDS) whose task it is to eliminate those ANDROIDS that you or the computer have decided to "remove". This is done with a lot of "talking" and moving about. But, watch out! The computer gets nasty if you win.[media=youtube]awYrj1RhLxU[/media]**This game uses a programming technique whereby a BASIC program writes machine code that then overwrites the BASIC program in memory and executes the machine code. This has many advantages, including using all available memory on the system. If the application in fact fills up all available memory, users will find it very difficult to modify the program (cheating will be very difficult). The program itself cannot be copied out of memory and saved for illegal resale or sharing. It cannot be decompiled. And the original BASIC program makes little sense unless your are the original developer, it is effectively an encrypted source code.
