I made this quite a while ago and specifically remember wanting to post it to this forum asking for help.

It's an application where a predator feeds on a prey, every time it finds its prey, a noise is made. The prey can be moved around (when in edit mode) and the predator will chase it.

There was some kind of issue with the fact that it looked impossible to make separate scalar (template?) objects. - to be able to draw one shape for the prey and another for the predator.

That was a while ago now and since then I became quite busy with other projects and forgot all about this one (and the problems I wanted solving).

Anyway, posting it here for you to explore and enjoy, comment, hopefully through discussion we can remember and better the issues I uncovered. (it had something to do with future planned features, like creating multiple predators feeding off from one prey, not being possible on a single template e.t.c.)

I created this to try and emulate

After TV pong this is basically the first real computer game I ever played, written in BASIC. It was called "sheep" on the PET about 1978 (there was also "ghosts" on the TRS80). You started at a random location with one predator at a random location and you took a move, then the predator took a move, and you had to try to escape from the area. Next round there were two predators etc...
