- ^1@6SHOW FONTS@^2[5 by John Law.[0
-
- ^4 This program was sent in by John Law. We've had to alter ,it
- ^4slightly to make it suitable for this disk. It looks for all the
- ^4fonts on your disk, then prints the name of the font using the font
- ^4itself.
-
- ^2 Thank you John for being the first reader to send in a program.

- ^1@6LOGGER LARRY@^2[5 by Aaron Fothergill.[0
-
- ^4This is one of Aaron's famous 10-liners! It is on the Sprite X
- ^4disk which is available to Amos Club members (from Déjà Vu
- ^4Software.)
-
- ^6 Larry's task is to progress from the bottom to the top of the screen
- ^6by climbing up the diagonally sloping logs. Just to add more fun
- ^6there are logs rolling down the slopes and some other nasties to be
- ^6avoided.
-
- ^2It's amazing what can be done inside just ten lines! Any takers
- ^2for our challenge to write a 10 line game??
-
- ^5 Thanks Aaron for letting us publish Logger Larry.

- ^1@6SPRITE GRABBER@^2[5 by S.Raaiymakers[0
-
- ^6Taken from APD
-
- ^2These are the original docs that came with this program, the only
- ^2bits edited out were the diagrams showing how a sprite is grabbed.
- ^2This was done because they contained some control codes we use to
- ^2display the text you're reading!
-
- ^4 This is for you, the makers of AMOS and the people of APD. I, like
- ^4many other people, have a version of Deluxe Paint. I use it to draw
- ^4all my sprites and grab them with the spritegrabber later. But the
- ^4sprite-grabber lacks a lot of functions. So I changed yours to
- ^4fulfill my needs. And here it is.
-
- ^6These are the new functions:
-
- ^5- AJUST MOUSE. Makes it possible to reach the entire screen with the
- ^5pointer.
-
- ^5- DEL. Deletes the spritebank. To activate this, press both
- ^5mouse-buttons. This is to avoid mistakes.
-
- ^5- EXTRA MEMORY. Closes editor, workbench and erases the
- ^5PAC-PIC-Bank. Handy if only you have 512 Kb.
-
- ^5- QUIT. Not new, but here you have to press both mouse-buttons too.
-
- ^4- I added a memory-counter.
- ^4- I made the selection-screen look a bit nicer.
- ^4- When you press a button, you here a sound to indicate that you
- ^4really DID press it.
- ^4- When you pick up a sprite, you get the sprite that is exactly IN
- ^4your box.
- ^4 With Deluxe Paint, they do it my way, which is more logical.
- ^4- I included A counter which shows the total number of sprites.
- ^4- Fast Search: When you press the arrows with the right
- ^4mouse-button, it makes a step of 5 images.
-
- ^2 I think a lot of people will be pleased to use this version, so
- ^2maybe you could include it into the new version of AMOS.

- ^1@6PUZZLE GAME@^2[5 by S. Raaiymakers. [0
-
- ^4 This is a little slide puzzle game that is on one of the source code
- ^4disks on the PD Library.
-
- ^5 You have a 4 x 4 grid, which has 15 tiles and one space making up a
- ^5picture which is displayed at the top of the screen. You move a tile
- ^5by clicking on it with the left mouse button, it will then move into
- ^5the space, if possible. You complete the puzzle when it is back to
- ^5its original form. There are 3 options, PLAY, PRACTICE or QUIT.
-
- ^2 The author says that if a message appears at the top of the screen,
- ^2you can get rid of it by clicking right mouse button.
-

- ^1@6BUBBLES@^2[5by Dicon Peeke.[0
-
- ^4 Here's a very handy little routine that you will be able to include
- ^4in your programs, credit Dicon please, if you do.
-
- ^5 It allows you to create speech bubbles for your characters, like
- ^5you'd find in cartoon books. The bubble is automatically created to
- ^5be the right size for your message.
-
- ^2 Nioe one Dicon, and thanks!
