PROGRAM INFORMATION
-------------------
Glass Bead Challenge is an ORIGINAL game of strategy for one
or two players. Dominate your opponent without capturing any
pieces! Multiple computer levels, several board sizes, 16
and 256-color graphics with digitized sound and music. FUN!
GETTING STARTED
---------------
To install, follow these directions:
1. Copy the program files to your hard drive, or you
can install the program from your floppy drive.
2. Make sure that the file VBRUN300.DLL is either:
A. In the same place as the program files, -or-
B. In your Windows SYSTEM directory, where it can be shared
with any other Visual Basic Application.
3. From Windows, run the program BEAD.EXE (from Program
Manager select the "Run..." option from the File menu)
4. If you want, you can easily create an icon in Program Manager
by selecting the "New" option from the file menu. The file
you want to add is "BEAD.EXE"; it is fairly easy to browse
for it in the New Program dialog.
TIPS
----
If you are in 256 color more or true color:
Go to the "Options" menu and select one
of the custom piece sets -- they look
cooler than the 16-color standard.
If you get a blank board after a "New Game":
You are probably in a weird video mode.
Go to your system setup or your video
card setup and switch to a video mode
with 16 or 256 colors or true color
(16million). Hi-color (65,000 colors)
and other color modes are incompatible.
If you beat the computer too much:
Let it go first the next game using the
"Switch Colors" button on the "New Game"
dialog. For an extra challenge, put
a handicap in your favor on the "New Game"
dialog.
If the computer beats you too much:
Read the "Strategy" section in the help
file and make sure you move first on
every game until you get the hang of it.
