BATTLEGROUND:CGC Who will control the ultimate in crappery, the CSSCGC? a CSSCGC 2010 entry by Edward Cree / aka AYChip Description: AYChip gets political with his latest game, reflecting current events in the biggest news story of the year so far (this was written in January), the war that has erupted between two parties, the comp.sys.sinclair Usenet newsgroup and the World of Spectrum web forums. This war started in a small way, with minor territorial infringements and a few elderberry-related insults, but it quickly escalated to a major international conflict which will shape the geo-political climate for decades to come. Or something. Matters came to a head when it was discovered that this year's CGC host, one "BloodBaz", was a WoS sympathiser - and seemed bent on turning the Crap Games Compo into a WoS event, and stealing it from our beloved CSS. Your mission is to save the C.S.S. CGC from the barbarian hordes who think 'CSS' is something you use in web pages, and restore it to its rightful place. Technical notes: There is no way to win, nor to lose. The struggle of the prole-net-ariat is neverending. The controls are QAOP-space, up to isomorphism. You don't always have to hit every letter of a word, and hitting letters that are still lying around from elsewhere can help. (The details should be easily deduced). Sometimes a word starts a bit far to the right and wraps round. In order to continue, you have to pull the abovementioned trick of hitting other letters. Sometimes this is possible. Sometimes it isn't. Computing the expected 'score' achievable before hitting an impossible point is left as an exercise for the reader. (How's your probability theory?) In a violation of the basic principles of quantum crapodynamics*, this game actually has proper keyboard handling using IN statements, so you can press two keys at once. Fortunately, the situation is saved by the crawling slowness with which your crosshairs move. *Also known as QCD. Textbook of quantum crapodynamics not included, but I think Feynman wrote one. Crappyrights: Rule 8 this year requires that "by submitting games you agree to grant non-profit distrubution[sic] permission on them." I have gone further than this, and granted a GPL v3+ license. You should have received a copy of the GNU GPL from aliens. If not, you can obtain a copy by performing an arcane ritual involving goats' blood, demonic possession, and Perl. Footnote: No crap was harmed in the making of this game.
