This document contains the documentation, source code, and logic flow for a slot machine simulation program written in the FOCAL language for the PDP-8 computer.
Key details include:
- Functionality: The program prompts the user to place a one-dollar bet, then simulates the spinning of three wheels using random integer generation.
- Logic: It utilizes a DO loop with a random number function to select from eight possible symbols and evaluates the result against predefined winning combinations to determine if a payout is owed.
- Requirements: The program requires 4K FOCAL to run.
- User Experience: It tracks the user's current winnings or losses throughout the session and allows the user to terminate the game at any time by responding "No" to the betting prompt.
