- Program Title:
- Race!
-
-
- Detailed Program Description:
- Race! is a program that lets the user compete in miniature car
- races against other users or the computer. The cars can accelerate,
- decelerate, and turn through twisting tracks but many obstacles block
- the path of the user's car including walls, slopes, gates, tornadoes,
- and gas slicks. Fortunately, after each couple of successful races,
- the cars can be improved in acceleration, speed, traction, and
- helicopter speed. Race! also lets the user construct his own tracks
- to compete on in case the premade tracks become too easy or boring.
- The program is fairly user friendly because it is menu driven and
- keeps the user informed of errors.
-
-
- Who is the intended user?
- People who have some leisure time or who want to relax are the
- intended users.
-
-
- If this is an update, improvements over old version:
- This is the first version of this program.
-
-
- Unique features of the program (why is your program better?):
- The program is very entertaining because it can be played by up
- to four people simultaneously, it can be played by one person, or it
- can be watched in a demo mode. It also has a long shelf life because
- the user can create his own tracks to race on. Also, the computer
- controlled cars become more challenging after each race has been
- successfully won. Therefore, I hope it would take a long time before
- the user would become tired of this game.
-
-
- Program's capacity or limitations (i.e. how many records it will
- hold, situations or conditions where the program won't work, features
- described or implied above that only come with registration):
- A maximum of 99 tracks can be made on one disk. The first 19 are
- filled with tracks that have been premade by myself.
-
-
- Does your program require any special system requirements other than
- 256K memory, one floppy disk drive, and a monochrome monitor. If yes,
- please list them:
- A Color Graphics Adapter and color monitor (Enhanced Graphics
- Adapter is optional) are required. A Hercules Graphics Adapter might be
- able to run Race! if a CGA simulator is purchased. Race! requires
- MS-DOS or PC-DOS 2.0 or later.
-
