I interviewed Everett Kaser in Januarybut I needed more time to research his Windows games, so I asked for more time to do the second half of the interview. At long last, the Everett Kaser interview is finally being published. I like to start interviews with a short autobiography.
Who is Everett Kaser, and how did you get your start? I got started in gaming in a round-about way. I spent many hours 'calculating', by hand on graph paper, generation after generation of dots. Slow and painful, hearts and bones hp palmtop game for free download, to say the least.
So I started designing an electrical circuit, using discrete logic ICs, to automatically calculate the generations, and display them with LEDs. I never got too far, because the cost and the labor to build a large enough array to be very useful was daunting. However, at JUST that same time, microprocessors were JUST being introduced, and two issues of Popular Electronics around SeptI believe had a 'kit' project to build an RCA Cosmac Elf microcomputer with BYTES!!!
of memory, 9 toggle switches, an 'enter' button, and two hex digit output displays. TOO cool!!! One of the first programs I wrote for it was The Game of Life. About the same time actually a few years before Pong and other arcade games were invented and were being sold in home units for your TV.
So, naturally being the red-blooded American boy that I was, primitive arcade games were the next thing I started programming for this microcomputer no high-level language, no low-level assembly language, all written directly in CPU opcodes machine code. In lateI was hired by Hewlett-Packard, and the story of my sojourn there is long, twisty, and documented elsewhere. But the division I was working at was developing the HP, a small self-contained keyboard, monitor, tape drive, printer all built in computer.
I started writing many games on it, all arcade games of one sort or another. You can read more about that, and actually play some of those old games, via the HP emulator that I wrote a few years ago, and which is available on my website at: www.
Then the IBM PC was introduced, and it quickly became apparent what direction "microcomputers" hearts and bones hp palmtop game for free download headed in, so I bought one for myself and started learning to program it. I'm a totally self-taught programmer, I studied Art and Custom Designed Jewelry in college. At the time, I didn't feel like 'finishing' it polishing it up for official releaseand besides, I had to get back to work. So I released it as freeware along with the source code.
That was the last of my game programming before I became a 'professional' by writing and releasing Solitile as shareware. In you developed Solitile, which is a Mah Jongg game, but the layout is customizable and the tileset has been Westernized. Was that to set it apart from other Mah Jongg games? When did you become interested in the game, and what made you decide to make your own? In late or earlyI and another fellow I worked with discovered Nels Anderson's Mahjongg. It was a GREAT game, but it lacked a little in my estimation.
I didn't care for the 'classic' Mahjongg tile graphics, which were difficult for many American eyes to come to grips with, and the mouse interface didn't please me. There were a few other details about the user interface that I didn't care too much for. Nels' game supported loadable tile sets, so you could change those, but it only had the one layout or basic arrangement of tiles. It seemed to me that an obvious and very nice extension of the game would be to allow the loading of other basic tile arrangements what I chose to call 'layouts'.
So, I started programming in spare time, and in 5 or 6 months had what I considered the 1. I waffled over whether to release it as freeware, or as shareware. At the time, I was a little nervous about running afoul of HP's "conflict of interest" rules, since I was working as a programmer at HP.
But since HP wasn't in the games business, I decided to take the chance and released it as shareware. It didn't make me instantly rich still hasn't :-but it did bring in enough "pocket change" to encourage me to try more. Since I had Snarf sitting around, I rewrote it, polished it up, and released the 2. Way back when It was inspired by a video arcade game called Tutankham. I got it fairly functional, very close to done, but didn't feel like finishing it, so I released it as "freeware".
I retained the copyright, but it was freely distributable. Then, after releasing the original Solitile in mid as my first shareware product, I was casting about for another hearts and bones hp palmtop game for free download and decided to re-write Snarf, finish it, and release it as shareware. I thus proceeded to do so, releasing it in November if memory serves It was a complete re-write very little of the original code was retainedand the game did ok in sales even thought that was at the very end of such "primitive graphics" for arcade games.
A number of people created new levels for it and sent them in to me, and I added the levels to the game, which now contains 52 I think although I could well be off by a bunch it's been a LONG time since I've looked at it.
All of my other DOS games Solitile, Sherlock, Hero's Hearts I eventually ported to Windows rewrotebut by that time I was solidy in the "puzzle game" arena, and had left my arcade-game past behind me, so I've never had any 'itch' to port Snarf to Windows.
Because of that, I'm willing to let you distribute the full last version of Snarf from the Classic DOS Games web site, but please include a note that YOU have permission, but no OTHER sites or persons may redistribute the full licensed version for what good such a statement will do Consider this a 'special' just for you. Here's the link where you can get it: Snarf, hearts and bones hp palmtop game for free download.
In you created an original game called Sherlock. I play a lot of Sudoku and cryptograms and Chess puzzles, so it was the first Everett Kaser game I hearts and bones hp palmtop game for free download played. It's a challenging and very rewarding game. I was trying to find some games for my mother to play and I introduced her to Sherlock a few weeks ago.
Now she plays it every day. I think she owes you some money. Anyway, this is a fantastic game! It's basically Sudoku, in that only one of each item can appear in each row, but you get hints to help you solve the puzzle. Where did the idea for Sherlock come from? After Solitile and Snarf, hearts and bones hp palmtop game for free download, I started thinking about what to do for my next project. I thought about what actually made Solitile SO much fun to play. What I came up with was that it was:.
That sounds simple, but it's important to note that as in every game you have to achieve a "sweet spot" of BALANCE between and within all of those. ANYONE well, almost :- can sit down and write a game that uses those elements, but hitting the "sweet spot" of balance in the game is devilishly difficult and I've certainly had varying luck with doing it myself over the years, no one can bat a thousand So, in casting about for another game idea that satisfied those elements I tried many different ideasI remembered a puzzle that was given to us in high school geometry class.
It was a single sheet of mimeographed paper, hearts and bones hp palmtop game for free download, and was the first that I know of logic puzzle, as they're known today, the classic "Who Drinks Water and Who Owns The Zebra? You can find that puzzle in the Help screens for the Windows version of Sherlock.
From start to finish, the original 1. Ah, the days of youth, when working all day, then coming home and programming until midnight or one in the morning was no problem! The story I've been most interested in hearing about is Kosynka. It's a Russian solitaire game that was programmed by Sergey Ryzhkov in Moscow, Russia, but published by Everertt Kaser Software.
How did you come into contact with each other and why did he choose Everett Kaser Software? Sergey became familiar with my shareware games, and contacted me via email. This was in the early 's before the creation of the web, when Usenet and email and ftp were about all there was. This was JUST after the fall of the Iron Curtain, and sending money to Russia was just about impossible, because pretty much anything from the U. He'd written the Kosynka game, and asked if I'd be willing to handle it for him.
I reluctantly agreed I'm really a "go it myself" kind of individual. It's the only game I've ever handled that I didn't write entirely myself. I also got the impression, reading between the lines, that he was concerned that he might get in trouble for some reason, with some authorities.
Maybe I was imagining it, but that was the impression I got. So did you wire him money electronically? I notice that you no longer sell Kosynka. Did Sergey eventually start distributing the game himself, or how did that arrangement end? Actually, Hearts and bones hp palmtop game for free download never sold all that many copies of it, and I never got his share of royalties to him.
It was just kind of weird. No, I'm not aware that Sergey hearts and bones hp palmtop game for free download distributed it himself, and to the best of my knowledge he never wrote a Windows version of it or wrote any other games.
We kept in contact for quite a few years, then just ran out of conversation, so to speak. He'd moved on to other pursuits. When I first read that one of the inspirations for Hero's Heart was Boulder Dash, hearts and bones hp palmtop game for free download, I was expecting a "rock and diamond" game, but there's not much tunneling and strategically dropping rocks to collect the hearts.
The levels are usually open and there isn't much dirt, and there are just as many things that move up balloons as fall down. Throw in arrows, rafts, Worms and Creepers, and it starts to remind me of games like Crusher and God of Thunder. Unlike those other games, Hero is turn-based, like Sokoban, hearts and bones hp palmtop game for free download. By eliminating reflexes and the ability to outrun the falling rocks, was that to create a pure puzzle game with an optimum solution, or was it a technical limitation you ran into?
Actually, the hearts and bones hp palmtop game for free download inspiration was "PC Wanderer", which was a PC version of "Wanderer", which to quote from the CREDITS file of the game "was created by Steven Shipway, a first year mathematics student at Warwick University, England. The idea for it came from games such as Boulderdash, Xor, and especially the Repton games from Superior Software.
Whether that's the basis for "PC Wanderer", the same thing, or what, I don't know. Anyway, like with Solitile, I thought it was a great game idea, but it left a little to be desired, particularly in the user interface and general program control.
