This page illustrates the advancement in human factors
engineering needed to satisfy the expectations of today's
computer users. The code below is part of a BASIC program
which plays Yahtzee. Both this page and the code below
are intended to handle the
dice rolling functionality of that game. Which would you rather interact with? |
