Multiload Hangman
=================

by Equinox for the comp.sys.sinclair Crap Games Competition 2008.

This is the traditional hangman word game. However, rather than
include a few DATA statements with words that the player will soon
memorise, I have elected to include the entire Collins dictionary
of 267,751 words that are acceptable in Scrabble.

The C# program Dict2Tap.cs was used to convert the words from a
text file into a Spectrum tape file. They are stored in a very
lazy uncompressed format so that each word begins at a 15-byte
boundary.

With the addition of code and graphics, the resulting tape file is
4,027,944 bytes long. Since the Spectrum's average loading speed
is about 170 bytes per second, this means that if you are unlucky
enough to get a word beginning with Z you can probably expect
about seven hours of loading time.
