An ancient computer game: Osric the Stoat

quote:
This game was written in the "R" programming language and was presumeably utilized by the children of Druids. The screen shot illustrated depicts the hero of the game, Osric the stoat, atop an Elm tree, throwing a stick at the hedgehogs below.

"The fact that real stoats don't actually climb trees, and that the hedgehogs are oversized and crudely rendered did not dissuade eager Druish children from playing this delightful game, I am sure. Just as in modern day video games, we sometimes see equine gorillas, and walking mushrooms," said Dr. Tunalu.

Hey! This site is great! You can learn all about druidic programming.

Did you know they coded in Unary?

The basics of the unary number system, the simplest of arithmetic bases, is quite elementary. Whereas the more complicated binary number system uses two digits; the simpler unary number system uses one.
