Horse Racers

Horse Racers is a text-based horse racing simulation game made in 2003 for the TI-83 Plus calculator by Cleod9 Productions and published by McLeodGaming.

Gameplay
The game can be played with up to four other players, or it can be player with just one person. To play, each player selects one of four different horses to bet on that they believe is going to win the race. Each horse is represented by symbols on a calculator: Pie is represented by π, Moon is represented by ), Beak is represented by >, and Lump is represented by θ. The order players get to choose their horses starts with player 1 and ends with the final player available. Players are not allowed to choose horses that have already been chosen, so when played with four players, player 4 is forced to use the horse no other player picked.

After the horses have been selected, the race is portrayed with each symbol on a separate "track" and each track is separated with a series of asterisks. With each moment, a single randomly selected horse will move forward by one asterisk. The race will continue until a horse reaches the end of the track, and the person who chose that horse is the winner.
