Introduction:
════════════
Invisible Maze was originally written using Quick basic v4.5 then
converted to Visual Basic. Invisible Maze is a relatively simple,
but sometimes challenging game. Simply put, you walk through a maze.
What's the catch? You can not see any of the walls UNTIL you bump
into them. Sound simple, doesn't it? The maze can have any size
from a 5x5 maze all the way up to a 30x25 maze.
There is ALWAYS a route through the maze.
Files included in the .ZIP file:
═══════════════════════════════
INVMAZE.TXT - This intro file.
INVMAZE.EXE - The WINDOWS executable file.
INVMAZE.HLP - Help file for Invisible Maze.
FILE_ID.DIZ - PC Boards description file.
DESC.DEZ - Non-PC Board description file.
VBPICBTN.VBX - Custom control for the program.
This .ZIP file has been generated using AUTHENTICITY VERIFICATION.
If any of the files maintained within, do not carry the -AV signature,
please inform me where the file was obtained from. If there are any
additional files in the .ZIP file, please contact the SysOp where the
file was obtained, and request they remove the additional files.
Additional files:
════════════════
INVMAZE.INI - Created when a "SAVE" is performed and read by
"RESTORE".
INVMAZE.SCR - Created to store HIGH SCORE TABLE.
FILES NEEDED:
════════════
VBRUN100.DLL - This is the Visual Basic Run Time routines.
What is Shareware?
═════════════════
The shareware concept is great for both programmer and the end-user.
The programmers can distribute their product without getting involved
in expensive marketing or advertising. The end-user benefits by
receiving a full-featured program, usually better than the commercial
competition, and support available directly from the author. But it
only works if the end-user participates in supporting the shareware
concept.
Shareware is not free. After using INVISIBLE MAZE for the suggested
30 day trial period, you must pay for continued use of the program.
We have spent a long time and worked hard to produce this fine
program. We also feel that the $10.00 registration fee is very fair.
Registering Information:
═══════════════════════
The current version will always be available on The Wizard's World.
To register the game, simply select REGISTER from the INTRO screen.
Fill out the form, print it and mail with US FUNDS to the address on
the form.
Registration entitles you to ALL future updates to the program.
All registrations will give you CONTRIBUTING USER status on
The Wizard's World for the period of 1 year.

Invisible Maze and all accompanying files are provided on an "AS-IS"
basis with no warranty, either stated or implied. R & R Enterprise

Setup:
═════
Setup for Invisible Maze is real simple. Simply place the .HLP, .VBX
and the .EXE files in the same directory.
1.) Start WINDOWS.
2.) Add a new FILE/Program to any of your existing program groups.
For file name, you may either BROWSE, or enter the full path to
INVMAZE.EXE.
3.) Select OK.
4.) Then enjoy the game.
Controls:
════════
Controls are mainly ONLY on the play screen. This is where you will
see the 'maze walker'. All controls will be covered briefly. We
have included a full help system with the game to assist you. From
ANY screen, you can hit the {F1} key to access the HELP SYSTEM. It
will bring up specific information about the field/button that has
control in the form. You can tell where control is by either an 'I'
cursor in an input field or a dotted ring (usually red) on a button.
Common Controls:
═══════════════
OK Button This is the YES button. Also the same as accepting
the input.
Cancel Button This is the NO button. Same as DON'T DO IT.
Specific Controls:
═════════════════
Reseizing Scroll Bars These are used on the RESEIZING screen to set
the size of the maze.
Up, Down, These are movement controls. They will move
Right and Left HANDS the maze walker (or at least attempt to move
him) in the direction the finger is pointing.
You can alternatively use the ARROW keys.
Button with '?' This is a HINT button. It will show the maze
for a short time. At that point the game will
continue as before the key was pushed.
Button with BLUE path This is the GIVE UP key. This will show the
and maze maze and not allow you to move any more.
Button with maze This is the RESTART button.
Exit button This will end the program completely.
CUDOS:
═════
The only real cudo is with the cursor arrows. This item will be
addressed in future releases. The problem is that the only arrows
that will work are those on the numeric pad and ONLY if the NUM LOCK
is ON.
HISTORY:
