Arena.xlsm Excel-Based Game |
 This
is pretty cool, especially if you appreciate someone using a tool for
a purpose likely never conceived of by its original creator. You have
probably used a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet at some point in your career
for business, engineering or personal calculations. Did you know that
Excel is programmable in the form of macros (Visual
Basic for Applications, aka VBA) and via external calls from
other programming languages? My RF Cascade Workbook series relies heavily
on VBA. This rudimentary game titled
Arena.xlsm
is a spreadsheet created by Mr. Cary Walkin (xlsm
is the file extension for an Excel file with embedded macros).
Your objective is to pursue and slay evil snakes, bunnies, and other
garden variety (pun intended) creatures
before they kill you. The interface is reminiscent of early DOS-based
games. Posted April 2013 |
