Who says someone can’t have fun with Harbour? 
My answer would be JawaBunky!

Animal2.ZIP contains my source files for (Harbour 3.2 or 3.4 using wvg) 
and everything except ANIMAL2.exe.

For the ANIMAL2.exe user:
  Download 3 files: ANIMAL2.exe, animal.dbf and animal2.dbf

This emulates an old CPM Mbasic GAME called ANIMAL. I really liked it. But, 
it lost all it learned when you quit the game.

You think of an animal and the program will try to guess it by asking
yes or no questions. If it can't guess it, it will ask for a characteristic 
that would make it different from the others. It saves the information AND 
IT LEARNS AS IT GOES. It can become quite funny depending upon how 
your characteristic is entered. It is more fun with multiple players.

When it gets too smart there is a R key press that can be used to remove all 
the information it has learned.

I did this in dbIII when I was a baby computer programmer, then clipper 85 
and 87. I converted it to Harbour pretty much unadulterated. Changes are noted. 
It could use some refinement but, not too much, it still should be fun!

Have some FUN, MikeK
