Subject : A golf game for your hp48

Version : 1.2 (ENHANCED by Mike Rovak)

Authors : Marc Moline for the 48 adapting the original writen by

          Mike Ortega for the 28


    As you may guess form the title this is a Golf game. The original game
was written by Mike Ortega for the hp28s and I addapted it to the 48sx
changing many details (mostly graphical). This program was done a long ago,
in a distant 1990, so when I uploaded it to my calculator I saw that many
changes could be made...

    Well you play by pressing (You'll never say) GOLF and you only have to
do what you are asked to do. Just don't get to hasty. Wait until the sand
clock indicator turns off to press the next key.

Features:

Wind (It appears on top left when choosing club)

    Positive numbers: Wind from left to right
    Negative numbers: Wind from right to left

Clubs (In this version 1.2 are the A_B_C_D letters)

    Wood       For long distance shots

    Iron       For not so long distance shots

    Wedge      For high short shots (To go out of a bunker)

    Putter     For real short range shots



Strength (The increasing bar on top left once you have chosen the club)

    The longer the line is, the stronger you shoot. Three tings about this:

    1 - Due to garbage collection it sometimes stops. I don't know how to
        avoid it.

    2 - It adds one when you press for shooting, this turns PERFECT shots
        into fumbles. Just to make it a bit fustrating like real golf( This
        happens in real life: the more you risk, the bigger the cances to
        flop.)

    3 - I removed the bar from Ver 1.0 This is supposed to be challenging!


    If after a n_uple bogey you take the easy way out (ON) you'll see a lot
of silly variables. To get rid of them execute the program CLR (Not the
Blue-Backspace) The CST menu has a GOLF button, a CLR button and a HOME.
use this CLR to get rid of the variables

    This is If_You_Find_This_Good_Send_Me_A_Comic_Book-ware and since it
doesn't call ML routines It's SAFE and SLOW.

    Be careful not to purge (Overwrite) the EQ and the PPAR !!

specially welcomed!
