- THE AWALE
-
- Awale is an ancient African game, certainly one of the oldest reflection
- games of the humanity.
- Its rules are simple, but the strategies to be successful can be complex
- and subtle.
- The program can be run under Windows 95 or Windows 3.1x+Win32s and needs
- about 1500 Kb of free memory space.
-
- To install it, just launch 'install' and enter the directory name you want to
- install 'Awale' into.
- The Microsoft WinG Runtime is also installed if necessary.
-
- If you encounter some problems during starting of the software, try to launch
- it while maintaining the "Ctrl" key depressed, in order to disable music and
- sound effects.
-
-
- WHAT'S NEW ?
-
- This new version offers additional features that had been suggested by some
- users.
- First, it's now possible to view the played holes history list, and to get
- back at any point of the game. You can also save or load a game. This allows
- you to try several strategies for a single playboard configuration, and
- therefore to improve your level...
-
- Registering this version allows you to play against the "Grand Master" game
- level. This level is now configurable in terms of depth and computing time.
-
- A great number of users write to us to communicate their enthusiasm for Awale
- and inform us about their own variations of the rules. We want to thank them
- here.
- In order to create a rules and variations database, we integrated to Awale the
- capability of defining your own rules. If you know an interesting rule, define
- it, test it, and send us the definition file, we'll then be able to integrate
- this new rule to the next release of Awale, and propose it on our Web site.
-
- It's now possible to print a game manual describing all the rules known by the
- software, as well as the history list.
-
-
