Kalah

Kalah is a game written by Dale Cooper and published by CodeWorks - Cursor for the Commodore PET. It is a digital implementation of the traditional board game Kalah, also known as Mancala, which involves strategic movement of seeds or stones around a board with the goal of capturing more seeds than the opponent. The game leverages the Commodore PET's text-based display to simulate the board and gameplay.

CodeWorks - Cursor was known for developing and publishing games for the Commodore PET, a popular early personal computer. Dale Cooper, the programmer, contributed to the library of PET games during the late 1970s and early 1980s. Kalah was one of the titles in their catalog, showcasing the simplicity and strategic depth of the original game in a digital format.

Specific details about the game's release date, exact features, or reception are scarce, as documentation from that era is limited. However, it is confirmed that Kalah was part of the CodeWorks - Cursor lineup, reflecting the company's focus on bringing classic games to early computing platforms. The game remains a niche piece of retro gaming history, particularly for enthusiasts of Commodore PET software.
