The BASIC code for “Bible Memory Verses” was originally published in J. Conrod,
Computer Bible Games (Accent Publications, 1984). The present adaptation is based on
the code for the TRS-80 Color Computer, with minor adaptations made for
gameplay and design. This unofficial, non-commercial
HTML browser-based version — v1.2 — is by Andrew
Perrin, built with artificial intelligence coding assistance. Past and present versions of the
game were adapted in good faith under fair use guidelines for educational, personal, and
research purposes. Original BASIC code used with permission by Philip Conrod. All original
rights remain with their respective owners.
