Astro-Bugs Club Tape #5 |
August 1984. This program is a mathmatical demonstration. From the game loading screen:
"About 30 years ago [1937] a professor named Collatz created this thought provoker. Start with
any whole number. If it is odd, triple it +1. If it is even, take half. Repeat. The final
result will always be one. Why is that? After all, the odd number is tripled + 1. This more than
compensates for the halves???"

This is the complete tape working as intended; you choose a game from the menu and it will
load automatically. This version preserves the original distribution process of the tape, but
it is slow to load a game. For convenience it is recommended to load each program serarately
(the programs can be found elsewhere). The eight programs that are included are:
