HANGMAN (1K ZX-80)
by G Gill
from Sinclair Programs 2 (July/August 1982), page 17

G Gill of Westerham, Kent has produced a game of Hangman which can be played
on the ZX-80. The program, as written, contains a set of 12 six-letter words
which it chooses at random and the player has to guess it, losing one life
out of 10 each time an incorrect guess is made.

If the player guesses correctly, the screen shows: "Well done, that is it".
If you run out of lives it says: "You are dead".

The line of words can include a total of about 70 letters, so that other
combinations, such as 14 words of five letters each, can be used. If other
groups are used it is necessary to change line 5. In the case of 14 words of
five letters it would read

   5 LET A=RND((14)-1)*5

A$ contains 12 words each six letters long. Any words can be substituted so
long as they are all the same length. Words of, say, five letters long can be
used, then A$ can be 14 words long - A$ can contain about 70 letters.

OL' FAITHFUL (1K ZX-80)
by B Spencer
from Sinclair Programs 2 (July/August 1982), page 41

This is one of two programs included in this collection for ZX-80 users. It
is a very simple, user-friendly program intended for young children.

B Spencer of Chatham, Kent, who wrote it, said he did it because after two
years of owning a ZX-80 he thought it was time he bought a better machine,
probably a Spectrum. He wanted to hand his old faithful to his children with
something useful for them to do with it.

The listing includes lines to allow the person using the machine to input
their 100, 640, 750. When run, it asks what kind of sum is to be attempted
and then shows the required problem. An answer is given and that is judged
correct or incorrect, giving the correct answer. Press NEWLINE for another
attempt.

In case of division, the answer is given in terms of a whole number and then
the remainder, both of which are input separately.
