December 9, 2003:  Viewer Ricky requested a one player version of the Hangman program.  One where the program was always the hangman and the human always the convict.   One player Hangman is now available for download from the  Hangman2 page.  A brief addendum there describes the changes including the revised implementation of the "tricky" hangman.


  

December 6, 2003:  We are back!  Had a great visit but I've been under the weather for the last few days - not caught from the grandkids.   A 102o  (39o C) temperature makes hard to concentrate on computer stuff.

 I did upload a file today that contains executable versions of 50+ programs on the site.  I put it together a few weeks ago for  use in our schools here.   The file includes an autorun.inf file and  is intended to run from a CD but should run fine from a hard drive.  There's also a loader program, Programload.exe, used  to select programs by category (Science, Math,  Games, Puzzles, Tricks).  If you run it from hard drive or if auto start is not enabled on your PC, start by running the loader program, .     The file is  DFF Play CD.zip  (zipped), around 15mb in size.  There will be periodic updates with additions, deletions, and enhanced versions, so pertinent feedback with bugs reports or suggestions will be appreciated as always.
