Interactive Microcomputer Wargame for an Air Battle

摘要

The air battle computer program of this thesis is an interactive wargame using an APPLE III microcomputer programmed in UCSD PASCAL. It is designed as a many on many engagement, to provide a tool for operations planning and evaluation, as an interactive computer wargame. This wargame also has training and educational applications and therefore could be easily integrated into a wargaming or simulation course as a teaching aid due to its flexibility, ease of operation and portability. The selection of the Air Battle Analyzer as a model for this thesis was made because it provided a convenient format to initiate an interactive wargame on a microcomputer. It is designed to be general in approach and provide much flexibility in the play of the game. It also provided a very convenient and mathematical approach that was easily translated into a computer program.
