PDP-10
DECWAR - game
PDP-10 game. Seems to be written in Fortran and MACRO-10, for TOPS-10. Could probably be ported to ITS.
Thanks @drforbin, I'd like that. Also, have you built it from source?
OK. You can telnet into it. I'll set you up an account if you wish. As for source compile yes. The background is thus. CompuServe which ran a time share service during the late 80's used decSystem-10's, but their version of tops-10 was altered from standard DEC version. Decwar was written at UT Austin and ported over to CIS mainframes. The version of DECwar released, only version of source code known to exist will not run under standard tops-10. The version you see on github is my version which WILL run and compile on standard tops-10. It required me to reverse engineer the CIS version and make 30k+ edits to get it to work. Mostly the problem was CIS UUO's (system calls) which are not standard DEC.
Anyway that is short version of history. If you wish to discuss further etc my email is [email protected]
Wow, I didn't know it was so much work to get it running in TOPS-10. Thank you for your effort!
Your welcome. Alot of the edits are posted on github but not all. Which is to say I migrated the code over to github once some of the changes were alrdy done. But the difference between to original CIS version which is based on UT version and my version is quite dramatic. Alot of the changes were in WARMAC.mac which is a mac-10 assembly lang file.
Oh. by the way ALL of the changes are commented. with the original code left in place. So if you download the repository and peroose through it you will be able to see ALL the changes.
Hello again @drforbin,
Is there a main entry point to a description on how to compile and build this?
