You will probably not be eaten by a grue

Read Original

The article details a project to run the original 1978 Oregon Trail game in R by writing an interpreter for a subset of BASIC. It discusses the motivation—avoiding manual translation of legacy scripts (like SAS or SPSS)—and explains the interpreter's design, including handling GOTO statements and rewriting BASIC expressions into R syntax. The technical focus is on software development, interpreters, and code translation.
