Basketball
This program simulates a game of
basketball between Dartmouth College and
an opponent of your choice. You are the
Dartmouth captain and control the type of
shot and defense during the course of the
game.
There are four types of shots: 1. Long Jump
Shot (30 ft.), 2. Short Jump Shot (15 ft), 3.
Lay Up, and 4. Set Shot.
Both teams use the same defense, but you
may call it: Press (6), Man-to-man (6.5),
Zone (7), or None (7.5). To change defense,
type 0 as your next shot.
Note: The game is biased slightly in favor
of Dartmouth. The average probability of a
Dartmouth shot being good is 62.95%
compared to a probability of 61.85% for
their opponent (This makes the sample run This chapter is adapted from the book Basic
slightly remarkable in that Cornell won by a Computer Games Small Basic Edition published
score of 45 to 42. Hooray for the Big Red!) by BibleByte Books.
Charles Bacheller of Dartmouth College
was the original author of this game.
