Advanced Anticlimactic New Years Simulator

By Lee Spoons

Genre: Utility: It’s so true!

As a brave new year approaches, Lee has submitted (hopefully at the thin end of a bottle given the time) this rather compact bit of code to the competition.

AANYS is a work of genius because it is ahistorical*.  Whether past, present or 100 years hence, people can count down to a new year in which everything will be better, and it might be.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

*apart from the computer bit but, y’know.

Thankyou Lee!

Advanced Power Cut Detector Simulator

By Lee Spoons

Genre: Utility: Chocolate Fireguard

This utility was inspired by the unfortunate weather induced power cuts over the festive period.  We were unaffected in our locality, and were jealous of those without power, who were set free from the restraints of the grid – just imagine the things you could do: play scrabble by candlelight, eat raw meat, write a poem, contemplate a wall and so on.

So to use this tool simply load into your real Spectrum, which unlike your PC can run on the chuntey alone in the absence of proper juice.  Simply follow the questions and after the rather nice interlude music, it will decide and tell you if you have a power cut and how to act accordingly.
