Compared to the commercially released game Tricky Dices, we can't tell which one is a copy of the other. This Dutch version might be the original, as evidenced by this line:
Tricky Dices : 2400 POKE3391,104:POKE2367,10: [...]
Yahtzee (Dutch): 1600 POKE3391,104:POKE3391-1024,9:[...]
They essentially do the same. Yahtzee's code looks like the code someone would write when they are thinking about how to solve a problem. Tricky Dices' code is more optimized, but harder to understand (they did the subtraction, so that the interpreter doesn't have to).
Either Yahtzee (Dutch) is the original, or possibly there's another even earlier version, or possibly they are both independent conversions of another C64 game. |
