 
SCORING & GAMING TOOLS
Part 1 of 2
BetMaster 1.0 - Bet Master is a tool for the horse and dog racing
enthusiast that helps select the most profitable betting strategy. It performs a
statistical analysis on the handicapping odds provided by you, and the "WIN"
odds posted at the track to select the bets that are most likely to generate the largest
payoffs. Bet Master is SHAREWARE! So, if you use it (and especially if you win some $$$)
please send $10 to the author.
Coinflip 1.0 - A simulated coin for deciding
simple things. Two versions are included: one with all the options, one with the bare
minimum. Why use a Newton to do that? Well, as a Newton owner myself, I know that we
almost always have a Newton around-- but we may not often have coins.
Cricket Scorepad 1.0 - Cricket Scorepad was written in response to some
requests from the readers of the comp.sys.newton newsgroup on the internet. Being a dart
player and Newton owner myself I decided to take a shot at writing a good score keeping
program for Cricket - Cricket Scorepad is the result. Operation of the program is fairly
straightforward. The top of each column has an input line for the player or team names.
These are displayed only and not used for saving games (yet) so feel free to leave them as
Player A and Player B if you like. Each "point" 20 - 15 and Bull are represented
by a row on the scorepad just as if you were scoring on a chalkboard. To register a hit
click on the '+' button. 3 hits, 3 clicks.
CricketScorer 1.88 - An 80k package for OMP, MP
110 and MP 120 and for both OS 1.xx and OS 2.0 systems. For keeping score at limited-over
cricket matches. For following ball-by-ball cricket commentaries on the radio. For helping
understand the complexities of scoring. It automatically generates bowling statistics and
a scorecard which can be stored in the unfiled Notepad soup for editing, printing, etc.
Darts Scorepad 1.2 - is the successor to an
earlier effort Cricket Scorepad. Cricket Scorepad was originally written in response to
some requests from the readers of the comp.sys.newton newsgroup on the internet. Being a
dart player and Newton owner myself I decided to take a shot at writing a good score
keeping program for Cricket - Cricket Scorepad was the result. After using Cricket
Scorepad for a while I found it was lacking some obvious features and set to upgrading it
properly. Darts Scorepad 1.2 is the result. For those who used Cricket Scorepad I'll start
by listing the enhancements in this version.
GoRecorder 2.01 Demo - Go Recorder is a package
with which to record or play the game of Go, or study Go problems, openings etc. This is a
demonstration version. This version is fully functional, except that - it doesnıt have
any of the improvements or great features which will be in the final version (as a result
of your feedback, and further work on my part!). It prints ³DEMO² on the screen and
printouts every so often (rude I know, but just to jog your conscience...). It doesnıt
have a couple of planned features, such as Newton Connection Kit compatibility (which will
enable you to import/export games and problems from your Mac) and import/export to SmartGo
format.
LifeKeeper 1.1 - A utility for keeping track of life points in a Magic
duel. It probably also has other uses. Why use a Newton to do that? The Technomancer does
not ask why. Mishra and Urza would understand. LifeKeeper will use a certain amount of
heap in order to save information‹ your name, the last opponent's name, and the
scores. This is so that you can restore a game if you accidentally close LifeKeeper. For
my information, it takes 276 bytes out of the heap. This is not all that much,
comparatively; but if it presents a problem for registered users, I may change it to a
soup entry for future releases.
