Somewhere above your planet is a Romulan ship.
|
|
|
|
The ship is in a constant polar orbit. Its
|
|
distance from the center of your planet is from
|
|
10,000 to 30,000 miles and at its present velocity can
|
|
circle your planet once every 12 to 36 hours.
|
|
|
|
Unfortunately, they are using a cloaking device so
|
|
you are unable to see them, but with a special
|
|
instrument you can tell how near their ship your
|
|
photon bomb exploded. You have seven hours until they
|
|
have built up sufficient power in order to escape
|
|
your planet's gravity.
|
|
|
|
Your planet has enough power to fire one bomb an hour.
|
|
|
|
At the beginning of each hour you will be asked to give an
|
|
angle (between 0 and 360) and a distance in units of
|
|
100 miles (between 100 and 300), after which your bomb's
|
|
distance from the enemy ship will be given.
|
|
|
|
An explosion within 5,000 miles of the Romulan ship
|
|
will destroy it.
|
|
|
|
Below is a diagram to help you visualize your plight.

X - Your planet
|
|
O - The orbit of the Romulan ship
|
|
|
|
On the above diagram, the Romulan ship is circling
|
|
counterclockwise around your planet. Don't forget that
|
|
without sufficient power the Romulan ship's altitude
|
|
and orbital rate will remain constant.
|
|
|
|
Good luck. The Federation is counting on you.

orbit - Play the game 'Orbit' from Basic Computer Games

=head1 SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
orbit.pl
|
|
|
|
=head1 DETAILS
|
|
|
|
This Perl script is a port of orbit, which is the 68th entry in Basic
|
|
Computer Games.
|
|
|
|
In this game you are a planetary defense gunner trying to shoot down a
|
|
cloaked Romulan ship before it can escape.
|
|
|
|
This is pretty much a straight port of the BASIC into idiomatic Perl.
