WHAT IS THE HORSE RACE GAME: When I was a Speech Teacher, I had a small group of students. At the time, using questions was a therapy method. I wrote a program that accepted answers from up to 8 students answering together. I used it successfully and continually tinkered with it. I lavished my attention on this program. I think I thought of some good ideas. Although my programming style was primative, I am still proud of it and it still works. At that time (2016), I had no people interested in the idea, beyond my local group. (if that). I put in a demonstration of horses using the same race students would use in the Testing Machine. How it Works: 8 boxes are shown on the screen. As students answer on a prepared keyboard, the boxes turn purple. After all students answer, the computer marks them. All questions are two choices (alternate choice). Alternate Choice is another subject. The students number goes across the screen toward a finish line. WHO WINS: I found that a smart student would win all the time. He would taunt others by winning by only one point. This disencouraged students to play. I had the computer pick a winner based on how close they were to the actual winner. The chance to win was expressed as a percent. It was halved for even point behind. Everyone had a chance to win and effort was rewarded. I HOPE YOU LIKE IT: THE HORSE RACE GAME is crude and slow, but the ideas are there. Its program code is cryptic. I have since used procedures which really help make programs orderly. With my ability to put this on the internet with TES, I am presenting it to you. (This is the far future, you know.) I also have a talking TALKING MACHINE on TES you can download. Your ideas are welcome. Paul Skittone 2023

THE HORSE RACE GAME IS A RACE BETWEEN EIGHT HORSES. EACH HORSE HAS A DECK OF CARDS TO GIVE IT ABILITY TO MOVE FORWARD.
