-
- Overview
- --------
-
- JT WOF is my first program for the USR PalmPilot. It is a fairly accurate
- version of the TV game show Wheel of Fortune.
-
-
- Upgrading
- ---------
-
- This version of JT WOF should install over an existing copy. If you already
- have a puzzle database loaded, you do not need to load a new one (this will
- save you from being forced to play puzzles you have already seen). If you
- have a graphics database from version 1.10 installed, you do not need to load
- a new one. If you do not have a puzzle databas or a graphics database, you
- will need to install the one provided with this archive.
-
- If you are upgrading from a previous version of JT WOF and run into problems,
- delete the previous versions files (be sure to remove the game, puzzle
- database, and graphics database) first using the Memory application on your
- Pilot. After deleting the old version, load the new release.
-
-
- Installation
- ------------
-
- To install JT WOF, you must install two additional databases along with the
- game. The files you need to install onto your Pilot are:
-
- - JTWOF.PRC (The game itself)
- - PUZZLES.PDB (The puzzles for the game)
- - GRAPHICS.PDB (Some of the graphics used by the game)
-
- The reason for using multiple files is so that you can customize the game
- yourself. The source code package for JT WOF (available on our web site)
- contains utilites for creating your own puzzles and game graphics.
-
-
- Installing New Puzzle Packs & Graphics
- --------------------------------------
-
- To install a new puzzle pack or graphics database, use the Memory application
- to remove the old puzzle or graphics database before you HotSync the new
- database into your Pilot.
