Really cool project. Here's one in MATLAB. I was going to write one if FASM for DOS as well.
% Guess what number for MATLAB 7.5.0
% rCX. 2009, public domain
MIN = 1;
MAX = 100;
Plr_Guess = -1;
while true()
clc %Clear Command Window
Randomed = uint8(rand() * ((MAX + 1) - MIN) + MIN);
rounds = 0;
disp(['Ok, i think random integer between ',num2str(MIN),' and ',num2str(MAX),'.'])
disp('Your job is to guess what it is in as minimal tries as possible.')
disp(' ')
disp('After your every guess, ill give you hint is my number higher or lower than your guess.')
disp('You can exit by ''guessing'' 0.')
disp('Press any key to start game.')
pause

while true()
rounds = rounds + 1;
disp(['This is round number: ',num2str(rounds),'.'])
Plr_Guess = str2num(input('Give your guess: ','s')); %'s' tells MATLAB to return input as string
if Plr_Guess == 0
return %exit program

Thank you very much for the information, i had not considered that they were mainly designed for games. It makes a lot of sense. i'm sure i will keep visiting this site because there are several areas i have not explored yet. Best wishes with the site.

Hi Kevin (and anonymous MystikShadows)
Thanks for your feedback about the site. To be honest, i havent worked much lately with this site since i am way overworked currently.
Site has existed pertty long, i think year 4 is goin on now. This is third "version" we have complited. First was pure html/frame site, made by MystikShadows. I think i do have copy of it in my secondary computer and i have planned to keep it online too someway.
Second site was build around TikiWiki software, but it was a bit mistake for us. Pretty quickly after moving to tikiwiki, we decided to move here where we are currently.
Hopefully this site can give you information as much as you need. If not, ask and we see if we could help.

p.s Mystik, yeah, youre old and your heart wont even survive flight over atlantic ocean :P

The charaacters themselves were designed because back then (in 11981) when ASCII came back to the PC world, there was no extended character set (128-255). Remember that back (prior to 1981) games were being made, and people started wanting some standard characters to make games out of, for example, the smiley face for classic rogue light games, the card suits symbols, the man and woman symbol and the other you can see in the 0-31 characters). The ASCI values of those symbols are one thing and were original designed to control output on the old computers that had continuous paper instead of a monitor for output. When the hardware fonts were stored in ROM somewhere, the addded 0 to 31 graphics to for the reasons above. and with the extended character set (128-255) well text graphics became what they have been since ASCII became the standard. :).
I wrote an article on the history of ASCII here for a little different point of view.

Hope this helped answer your question.
And E.K. One comment about my age here, and I'm going to Finland to kick your butt..LOL.

i'm interested in the origins of the control character symbols 0 to 31 (decimal), for example in codepage 437. Wikipedia and other sites seem to say that the symbols were designed at Wang Computer. There is very little information about the graphics themselves. Does anyone know?
P.S. i've just found this site, and like it a lot.

"SilverQuest" is an Online role playing game, that was developed in 2 days. SilverQuest's art style and game play are both inspired from 1980s game found on the Atari, such as "Adventure" and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rogue_(computer_game)">"Rogue"</a>. SilverQuest is free to play, and offers a unique online habitat for hanging out, chatting, and having little adventures.
We will update the game, adding new things to do about once every 2 weeks, it'll be fun and simple, and I hope you all will give it a try when it is ready.
Thanks, and I hope you all will have fun!

You can download from my website: http://operagn.co.nr/
Or you can just click <a href="http://web.mac.com/wozilla/OGN/SilverQuest_files/Silver%20Quest.zip">here</a> to get the game.

Hi Gordon.
You site seems somehow familiar. Unfortunately i am not been able to do anykind of link check in long long time.
I will try to do so in next week-end and update your informations there too.

I am not sure if my site is still listed here perhaps under an earlier name, as I believe it was at one time. But for many years I have been producing programs in a variety of versions of BASIC which can be freely downloaded along with a fee tutorials of mine from http://www.sigord.co.uk/
Some of the progams can also safely be run online from menus displayed.

UH?
I dont agree practically in anything with BVOCS. I dont need any crappy MS compilers. If VB dies, then it does so. Best basic dialects today does not come from MS, and that is only a good thing.

Not sure what BVOCS means but BASIC is far from dead. And whether you're talking about DOS or Console BASIC or others, BASIC is far from dead. There are plenty other languages getting on the dissapearing list and will be there long before BASIC is. There's still plenty of BASIC compilers (commercial and open source) out there so nah, I'm not bying the BASIC is dead one damn bit. :)…

It's kind of funny that with VB officially dead (2005) and buried (2008) we have people still playing around with Clan of the Cave Bear (DOS) tools like QB and FB.
The irony comes in with web sites that are entirely GUI, have RSS feeds, and other stuff that tired old QB must look at like flying cars from the Jetsons.
Of course you won't see me lining up to use that .Net crap myself. I keep hoping it will die and we'll get a new and decent Windows Basic compiler from Microsoft. I wanted to love FB but it is such a pile of 1982 that I can't even be bothered to download newer versions.
Things are so bad I start to wonder if we shouldn't make a tombstone for Basic. R.I.P.

There's a week time left: deadline on Saturday the 14th of June.
Two part ASCII-compo, freestyle ANSI and tracked Adlib music competitions.
So, if there's some activity on this site or in the ASCII-scene, now it's time to shine
If have any questions, please ask.
