ECB BASIC Programs
Here is a collection of Extended Cassette BASIC (ECB) programs, all contributed by Ralph Hopkins. Ralph wrote some of the programs, and ported many of them from their original source to run under ECB.
The programs are presented in ASCII format. These can be loaded into the emulator as follows. After starting Extended Cassette BASIC, load a program by using the File/Script... menu option. This causes the emulator to read in the file as if the user was typing it by hand. ECB asks how much memory you have (just hit return so it uses as much as it can). Next it asks if you want to retain the MATRIX functions, and if you say N, then it asks if you want to keep the trig functions. Some of the programs require the trig functions to operate. I'm not sure if any need the matrix functions.

11931 | Ralph Hopkins |
| COMBT.ECB | Ralph Hopkins (Era Feb-82) Trig functions require loading the extended functions. 'Combat' is the ultimate STARTREK and is and goes beyond GALAXY. The biggest difference is in how the SCAN is done in an open X, Y co-ordinate 'galaxy'. You have 8 StarShips, 2 Transports and 5 Bases in a 'Federation Space' extending 40,000 units from 'center' at location X, Y = 0, 0. Ships are randomly placed around 'center'. Navigation is done by 0 to 360 courses or a move to a X, Y location and replaces the classic STTR '1' to '8' navigational directions. Warp 8 will move 8,000 units. Ships can tow each other back to a Base >B< for repair. Beside standard Phazers and Photons, all ships have a 'Special' weapon which may be a 'Cloak', 'Neutron Disrupters', 'Meson Lasers', 'Plasma Weapon', 'Particle Beam', etc. COMBAT throws out the 10 x 10 universe idea and displays a 'square' of space AROUND your current ship, transport or base. Short range scanners go 2,000 units AROUND the ship. Long range scanners show 5,000 units of space. Deep Scanners are 10,000 or 20,000 depending on the type of ship. Scans up to 5,000 units will show the ship symbol. For example: 5 types of Klingons are: *K* (K) +K+ :K: >K< CMDS.ECB are the Instructions. Longer range scans show an unknown with range and 360 degree courses. Other enemy groups include Romulans, Gorns and Xeonites. (I worked on a Windows Visual Basic 5 version of this in 2000!) Not enough memory to run it under CP/M. |

| GALXY.ECB | Ralph Hopkins 1978-1981 Multi-ship Star Trek on a 10x10 grid. See STTR1.ECB for very basic instructions. GALAXY or GALXY.ECB evolved next and went to a 10x10 universe, more playable 'StarDates' and gave you up to 5 ships each with a ShuttleCraft. You also got weapons like anti-matter bombs to use against <K> and 0=< KLINGONS, +R+ ROMULANS, ^Z^ ZORPHs, [G] +G+ >G< GORNS and *X* XEONITES. ShuttleCraft could Short Range scan a Quadrant (when you couldn't) and ALSO launch ONE anti-matter bomb that would NOVA any other nearby stars along WITH ANY SHIPS in range. Awesome weapon! Enemy ships moving in a quadrant re-set the 'Universe' numbers for the ship scan results. The overall 'MAP' of the 'Universe' starts out filled with zeros. Each ships short or long range scan contributes to the overall MAP. (I have on a Windows Visual Basic 5 version of this done in 2000!) Not enough memory to run it under CP/M. |

| KORPS.ECB | Ralph Hopkins; last change 02-15-81 R.E.H. AFRIKA KORPS pits you as a 1942 German Commander against British armored units. This game was inspired by SeaWolf (SWOLF.BS5). You are randomly assigned one of ten tanks or vehicles to oppose one-to-many enemy units. Like SeaWolf, you NEVER see a 'MAP' of WHERE the enemy really in relation to you. You only get a numbered 'LIST' of 'Description' and 'Range'. There are some commands like 'Status', 'Scan', 'Points', 'Enemy Info' that do not result in you losing your turn to enemy movement. But once you move, shoot or wait you allow the enemy to take their turn to move, shoot or wait! To avoid a very pointless exercise in ballistic mathematics, you just do a 'shoot' command. (When more than ONE target exists, you will be asked to select it's 'target number'.) It is always assumed that you are an EXPERT gunner. It may take you up to around 3 shots for YOU to get the correct target angle and elevation. For an equal opponent, they may need up to 4 shots to get YOUR range and trajectory! If you really are 'The Commander' then you will just give the order to shoot and let your crew do the work. When they get within about 10 meters / yards of you, then you must decide between moving or shooting. (If you are an 88mm Flak Gun, decide sooner!) Do you chance one more shot to *STUN*, +* DAMAGE *+ or DESTROY the opposing vehicle? Or do you try an evasive move? Maybe you just retreat; especially, if you are out-gunned or out numbered. Or ... do you advance and try to run over Trucks?! You can even try a shoot-and-retreat pattern - until you escape. Remember, Firepower and accuracy double at ANY unit's 1/2 range. Check 'Enemy Info' to determine how dangerous an enemy unit really is. Compare that with YOUR 'Status' to see how dangerous YOU are! 'Points' gives you a quick and simple idea of 'dangerous units'. Moving is like in STTR.BS5 or in number directions 1 to 8. You use numbered commands such as '4' to retreat to a randomly more fortified 'ground' that allows you more protection. (HIGH GROUND doubles and maybe triples your 'protection'). ANY unit/vehicle which is *STUNNED* loses a turn to move or shoot. Damaged units cannot move - including you! However, if you run out of shells, like Seawolf runs out of torpedoes, you may return to 'Base Camp' to re-load and live another day. If damaged, you may ABANDON you tank and escape the battlefield without penalty. ALL tanks or vehicles are worth 'POINTS' which are logged cumulatively between missions. Play wisely and you can run up a great score. Tank armour, speed, armament, shells carried etc. are based on real data taken from board games like (I think) Steel Panthers that used cardboard tokens/units on a grid-map battlefield. |

| LUFTW.ECB | by Ralph Hopkins (Jan-77 to Mar-83) LUFTWAFFE - Air war game. You are the WING COMMADER controlling two squadrons on a BOMBING RAID against the LUFTWAFFE over France. The objective is to BOMB or ROCKET at least one target type. Enemy squadron(s) may take-off to oppose you. See LCMDS.ECB which has the instructions. Navigation is via '8' directions (Like STTR2). This is an 'evolution' of what I call 'Aircraft clones' of STTR or StarTrek. Other examples are BUZBM.ECB, LUFT1.ECB and LUFT2.ECB Any one squadron is limited to 9 planes which can move singley or ALL as some kind of group. Plane 'speeds' vary slightly as to how many 'sector' squares you can move. Unlike STTR2, you cannot 'warp' a plane across 8 Quadrants. The best you can do is a little over 1/2 a Quadrant. Detailed Quadrant scans will show 'dots' for ocean and 'blank' for land. Beside aircraft symbols, the only other things visible are the numbered targets such as: **6** =2= *OIL* **6** (Showing aircraft unit #2 a couple of sectors left of a target.)

| MIDWY.ECB | by Ralph Hopkins (Era Jun-79) Simulation of the Battle of Midway. My attempt to create the Battle of MIDWAY based on a StarTrek 10x10 grid of 'ocean' around one grid location that represents 'Midway'. This is an 'evolution' of what I call 'Aircraft clones' of STTR or StarTrek. Examples are BUZBM.ECB, LUFTW.ECB, LUFT1.ECB, LUFT2.ECB You command the ENTERPRISE [E=] with aircraft and a heavy and light cruiser <H=> <L=>. Along with Midway aircraft, your mission is to defend Midway and perhaps sink the attacking Japanese Aircraft Carrier [K*], Battleship <B*> and cruisers <H*>, <L*>. You have =Pb= and =Sp= search planes to find the Japanese ships which also has *Sp* ship search planes to find YOU. For example, =F3= =D6= =T2= are the symbols for 3 Fighters, 6 Dive Bombers and 2 Torpedo Planes. (I worked on a Windows Visual Basic 5 version of this in 2000!)

| SWOLF.ECB | by Ralph Hopkins; (Era Jun-79) WWII Pacific Submarine game. SEAWOLF was inspired by another program called BLUEFIN. (BLUEF.ECB) One improvement was to use numbers, not word commands. This is a write-from-scratch version that gives SEAWOLF 'xx' days and 26 torpedoes to sink some Japanese ships in World War II. From the time you start until the 'War ends' (Somewhat like 'StarDates') you can run missions to sink ships, gain 'points' and build up a LOG of 'kills'. Each 'Day' sets up a random convoy with a of a number of ships for you to attack. SeaWolf 'loses' its turn when it dives, waits or shoots (torpedoes or deck gun). You NEVER see a 'MAP' of WHERE the enemy really is in relation to you. You only get a numbered 'LIST' of 'Ship' and 'Range'. There are commands like 'Status', 'Points', 'See kill log' that do not result in you losing your turn to enemy movement. The skill is in knowing when to run, when to fight and WHO you can use the deck gun against to save valuable torpedoes. NOTE: Another German version of this exists as UBOAT.BS5. |
