but I noticed my wife playing it a bit. :o)
I think it turned out fairly good.
If you want to try it it is at my web site:
http://www.gj.net/~genem/thingsmechanical/sprmatch.zip
Back off the filename and visit my homepage while you are there.

I hope Im not out of line by doing this. :o)
Thanks

I had a look at your site and it is very impressive.
I saw your milling machine and thought it would be interesting
to add stepper motors and control to it to create a computer
controlled machine out of it. Then you could use Euphoria
to write programs to automatically control the milling machine.
In other words a CNC machine. I think that Euphoria would be
an ideal computer langauge for doing this.
This site might give you some ideas:

You read my mind, Bernie.

Gene,
Haven't looked at your game yet, but I like your little steam engine, and
especially your little cartoon of how a steam engine works. From it I ca=
n
sorta see how an interest in designing/building mechanical gadgets and
programming are related: the differing radii of the power crank and the
control one (eccentric?) creates a kind of "timing loop" to allow the pis=
ton
to receive pressure and to exhaust at the right times. I realized that w=
hen
I noticed the two rod assemblies (power & control) were moving at differe=
nt
speeds, even though they were both attached to same wheel, & wondered how
that was done, & then I saw that the eccentric and the crank had differen=
t
radii. But in order to create that solution, a mechanical designer had t=
o
think in very much the same way as a programmer: what's the problem, what=
's
the general idea of a solution, & what's a way to implement the general
solution. Neat.
You might find this site of some interest,
http://www.geocities.com/CapeCanaveral/Hall/3551/
it belongs to a *master* Italian clockmaker, Carlo G. Croce, & I found it
after I saw a TV program about John Harrison & "his lifelong effort to wi=
n
the =A3 20,000 prize put at stake by the Board of Longitude for a clock a=
ble
to determine the longitude of a ship at sea with a maximum error of thirt=
y
nautical miles after a six weeks trip." The show was fascinating, and so
are Carlo's clocks.

Well done, Gene! I'll introduce it to my kids tomorrow. I'm sure they'll
delight in trying to beat my high score.

Hi Folks
When I posted my program I forgot to thank
all of you who so gladly answered my dumb little
questions on how to make things work such as
getting my sequences back from a disk file
in order to show them on the screen as a score ETC.
Thanks for the links to the sites that you all
new would be of interest to me. :o)
Oh by the way Jiri, my wife is harmless inspite of
her attitude. :o) I realy like using your mouse/RAT routines.
They are great.
Thanks
Gene

Gene,
I have not played your game (generally I distrust games wives play), but I
think your wooden models are truly superb. jiri
