Using Your Model/2 bis - Revisited

"Traveller has always been an easy game to mate to a computer."

So begins Marc W. Miller's first entry in a short-lived column in The Journal of the Travellers' Aid Society and Challenge magazines, issues 24, 25 and 26. This series of articles, published in the Stellar Reaches fanzine revisits the series with the goal of teaching introductory programming to a whole new generation of TRAVELLER players.

The examples from the series can be found on this page and can be used without downloading anything, but I encourage readers to dig into the source code and figure out how everything works, just as Marc Miller intended his readers to do when the original series was published.
