Well, it's not under 250, and it isn't very animated. But it is only a first
draft ... more of a proof of concept. See what you think.
You'll have to save this code as a file (e.g. VidDOORS.R) and then Do it ...
The square brackets aren't up to the Console's expectations, so you can't
just cut and paste it into the console
Here's an interesting feature of this code (in my eyes any way) .... In any
other language I expect I would have used a state table: when a door is
clicked the code could check what that click means (First selection; illegal
attempt to pick Monty's door; final selection etc). And--even in Rebol--that
would be an elegant approach. But I've done it different. I change the VID
action facets instead.
Another perhaps interesting feature shows a drawback of VID. VID is
inherently multi-threaded. I'm using WAITs to control some pathetic
"graphics". But that means you could click the other boxes while I'm doing
that. So I have to prevent further input--hence the Disable-doors function.
Sunanda.
