Round 1 & 2 (Small Screen Game)

Miss Bytes will introduce the first 2 players. The round works with choosing one category, the host will give one letter on the bottom of the screen, another letter will be at the top of the screen, a player gets it correctly gets 1 point and downloading the letter down and the player who got it right will take the answer correctly will get 4 points (in total 5 points). After a contestant says the answer at the top of the screen and then downloaded the letter that was on the top of the screen before and the contestant doesn't know the main answer, if this occurs a letter will be at the top of the screen for someone to guess it, downloading the letter and until someone guesses the main answer right. Sometimes when a letter is on the top of the screen, if 2 contestants do not press the buzzers in time or one contestant guesses the wrong answer/doesn't know and then the other contestant guesses the wrong answer/doesn't know, the host will give the answer and then download the letter and back at the top of the screen to attempt the correct answer. The player with 10 or more points will win that round and come back in Round 3. Round 2 is the same thing but with different players. The player with the least points will get prizes. The categories used were Screen Dreams, Planet Earth, Sounds, True Blue, Techno & Sweating It Out.

COM file

A COM file is a type of simple executable file. On the Digital Equipment operating systems of the 1970s, .COM was used as a filename extension for text files containing commands to be issued to the operating system (similar to a batch file). With the introduction of CP/M (a microcomputer operating system), the type of files commonly associated with COM extension changed to that of executable files. This convention was later carried over to MS-DOS. Even when complemented by the more general .exe file format for executables, the compact COM files remain viable and frequently used in MS-DOS.

The .COM file name extension has no relation to the .com (for "commercial") top-level Internet domain name. However, this similarity in name has been exploited by malicious computer virus writers.

MS-DOS binary format

The COM format is the original binary executable format used in CP/M and MS-DOS. It is very simple; it has no header (with the exception of CP/M 3 files), and contains no standard metadata, only code and data. This simplicity exacts a price: the binary has a maximum size of 65,280 (FF00h) bytes (256 bytes short of 64 KB) and stores all its code and data in one segment.

Video game bot

In video games, a bot is a type of weak AI expert system software which for each instance of the program controls a player in deathmatch, team deathmatch and/or cooperative human player, most prominently in the first-person shooters (FPS). Computer-controlled bots may play against other bots and/or human players in unison, either over the Internet, on a LAN or in a local session. Features and intelligence of bots may vary greatly, especially with community created content. Advanced bots feature machine learning for dynamic learning of patterns of the opponent as well as dynamic learning of previously unknown maps – whereas more trivial bots may rely completely on lists of waypoints created for each map by the developer, limiting the bot to play only maps with said waypoints. Bots can be created by game-developers as well as by users after the release. Using bots is against the rules of all of the current main Massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPG).

In MUDs, players may run bots to automate laborious tasks: this activity can sometimes make up the bulk of the gameplay. While a prohibited practice in most MUDs, there is an incentive for the player to save his/her time while the bot accumulates resources, such as experience, for the player character.
