- MADgic40.lzh is Version 4.0 of The MADgic Core: Core War for the Amiga
- Copyright 1992 Mark A. Durham. It is freely distributable in its complete
- archived form.
-
- The archive should be decompressed to an empty floppy disk to get the
- full effect of the system. It requires about 90% of an 880K disk.
-
- New for 4.0:
- Keys:
- Menu short cuts now work with or without the Right Amiga key
- depressed. Foreign keyboard? Strange keymap? Dvorak lover?
- No trouble! It is taken care of. While we are on the subject
- of keys, be sure to try Left Amiga-V for OK gadgets and
- Right Amiga-B for Cancel gadgets. Also, play with the cursor keys
- (and SHIFTed cursor keys and ALTed cursor keys) in the new Load
- requester (see below). Don't forget these other short cuts:
- Right Amiga-ALT to deselect string gadgets; Right Amiga-Q to undo
- changes in a string gadget; and Right Amiga-X to clear a string
- gadget.
-
- Configurable Sound:
- Allows you to assign different frequencies (in Hz) to different
- instructions. Instructions for Player A are one octave above
- instructions for Player B - the frequencies for which are displayed
- (and alterable) in the Sound... requester. Hit the Sound button to
- turn sound on or off.
-
- Load Requester with that Release 2.0 look-and-feel:
- Many 3.x problems have been fixed here. The AReq, BReq, and Random
- gadgets are all accessible from single keystrokes.
-
- Go:
- Go has cleaned up its act. It is now a synonym for Continue.
-
- Windows:
- The main Core Window can now be sent Forward and Backward with single
- keystrokes. The Tasks Gauge and Timer Windows can both be moved
- about (as well as the Trace and Memory Windows) by selecting the
- window and then depressing the cursor keys. Be sure to try them
- SHIFTed and ALTed.
-
- Bugs, bugs, bugs:
- I have discovered and eradicated many potential 3.x bugs.

- SmallMARS88:
- When you want blazing speed and versatility in a small package, these
- four programs are it. No graphics or debugging - just fast and small.
-
- Redcode:
- Redcode programs from the 1987, 1988, 1989, and 1990 ICWS tournaments.
- No assembly required!
-
- TMARS:
- A round-robin tournament manager program. It is actually encrypted
- in the archive. This is to encourage you to register your copy of
- The MADgic Core with me. Registration is free. I just want to keep
- track of those using the system. When I receive your registration,
- I'll send you the MADgic word which decrypts the program.
-
-
- I think you'll agree that The MADgic Core v4.0 is "Worth its wait in gold!"
