- Product: Order Out Of Chaos (a.k.a. OOOC)
- Version: 1.12C (January 1996)
- Copyright: (C) 1994, 1996 by Pinnacle Software
- Author: Timothy Campbell (Pinnacle Software)
- Hardware: PC-Compatibles
- DOS: Windows 3.1 or higher
- Disk space: 2.5 Meg
- Video: VGA with color monitor
- Other Needs: Requires VBRUN300.DLL
-
- Keywords: WINDOWS, GAME, PUZZLE, FAMILY, PHILOSOPHY, CHOPIN
-
- Description: Good clean family fun. Colorful, challenging, and non-violent,
- with 45 minutes of music by Chopin. Nominated for "Shareware
- Puzzle Game of the Year" by Computer Gaming World magazine.
- Requires Windows and VBRUN300.DLL. 16-color mode supported.
-
- Details: "Order Out Of Chaos" shows the player a picture which has been
- broken up into 48 tiles and then mixed up. With the picture in
- this chaotic state, two random tiles switch places every half
- second. The player tries to restore the picture to an orderly
- state by clicking on a tile whenever it appears at or near the
- spot where it belongs.
-
- A game consists of ten such puzzles. The first time a game is
- tried, the player will take about 10 minutes to solve each
- puzzle, for a total of two hours of play. In subsequent attempts,
- the player will improve his or her time and make fewer errors,
- resulting in a higher score.
-
- OOOC is a pleasant diversion, but it also has depth of meaning.
- Underlying the game is a philosophical question, posed in a
- visual way by the 100 puzzles of the complete set.
-
- Interesting statistic: 90% of our orders for this game come
- from women. Perhaps they prefer putting things together instead
- of blowing them apart, or maybe mothers appreciate the non-
- violent nature of the game.
-
- Limitations: None -- fully functional shareware
- Registration: Other puzzle sets can be ordered (see Orders menu in OOOC)
- Payment via: CompuServe, Credit Card, Cheque, Money order
- Source Code: Visual Basic (Source code not for sale)
-
- This update: Version 1.12 addresses an obscure bug that sometimes afflicted
- people who started playing the puzzle before it was completely
- drawn.
