Triangles et Quadrilatères (Thomson TO)

Triangles et Quadrilatères teaches students the shapes of polygons with three and four sides. It was bundled alongside several other educational programs teaching geometry.

Commented-Out Lines#

The TO9/TO8/TO9+ disk version from the Logiciels Nathan Ecoles : Mathématiques compilation has two commented-out lines in TRIQUA.BASwhich are not present in any of the tape releases, including the one for the MO series:

  • Line 7060 is part of the menu code. In normal conditions, the player would warp to Line 7975 if a random polygon choice is always enforced.

'GOTO 7975

  • Line 40040 is part of the incorrect answer routine, and would have been triggered if a random polygon choice was not enforced. Uncommenting this makes the shape drawing menu briefly appear before the points reset.
