-
-
- DESCRIPTION:
-
- Hangem is a WINDOWS 3.X version of the well-known word-guessing
- game. This version, however, has more options than most that
- we have encountered, and good graphics.
-
- The game allows for one player or two. Scores are kept, and
- the 'GAME-SCORE' may be changed from it's default of 5 correct
- words to as few as 2 or as many as thirty. Also if two players
- are playing, there is an option to enter single words instead
- of using the internal words, so that each player may enter a
- word for the other to guess. There are several hundred words
- in the program which are picked randomly. Entered words may not
- exceed 14 letters.
-
-
- HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS:
-
- As this is a Windows program, it requires WINDOWS 3.X, and all
- associated requirements. A mouse is not necessary, but is highly
- recommended.
-
- The file VBRUN100.DLL is also required to be available to the
- program. We have distributed it along with the other program
- files, but if you don't seem to have it, it may be that the
- distributor from whom you got the program has removed it. The
- file is very common, and readily available from almost any
- distributor or BBS.
-
-
- INSTRUCTIONS:
-
- There are some internal instructions in the program, and we
- assume that almost everybody is familiar with the HANGMAN
- type game, so these instructions will mainly be particular to
- THIS program:
-
- Most of the options are available through the pull-down menu,
- and some of these must be set before doing anything else. Once
- the Next Word button is pressed, the game begins with current
- option settings...some of which can't be changed without re-
- starting.
-
- First, choose Options, to decide if one person or two will
- be playing. This will bring up a box in which to enter names
- of the players. Please do not enter names over 12 characters.
- If this option is not chosen at the start of a game, default
- is one player, and default name is Player #1.
-
- If only one person is playing, the second score box will show
- number of missed words, otherwise, it keeps track of player
- #2's score.
-
- If two players is chosen, from the same menu, you can choose
- single entry words, or internal randomized words. If single
- is chosen, at the beginning of each player's turn, his opponent
- will input a word for him to guess instead of using the words
- contained in the program.
-
- Next option which must be set BEFORE starting the game is the
- SCORE option, where you can choose the score which you will
- play to. Note that only correctly guessed words count as score.
-
- After you have chosen these settings, you may begin the game by
- pressing the Next word button. When this is done, several
- asterisks will show in the upper box, one to represent each letter
- of the word. At the bottom, the player who's turn it is will
- be shown next to a space where their letter selection will
- appear. About in the middle will be the alphabet, minus any
- letters already used.
-
- To guess a letter, just press the letter, you don't need to
- press [ENTER]. The man in the picture will appear as you miss
- letters. If you have not disabled sound and messages, you
- will hear a beep and get a message describing what you just
- lost or won. The sound and message options are available at any
- time during the game, and remain as set if you press Replay.
- Note that SOME of the messages and beeps cannot be disabled.
-
-
- INSTALLATION:
-
- Although there are really only 2 files needed to run this
- program, an installation program is included: INSTY.EXE.
- It will only install HANGEM.EXE and VBRUN100.DLL.
-
-
- To use it, place your program disk (or backup thereof) in
- your diskette drive and log onto that drive. Then type INSTY.
- The installation will then read the directory to see where it
- is located, and after you press [ENTER] you will go to the
- main screen where a destination drive/directory will be
- suggested. In this case it will say C:\WINDOWS. If this is
- where your Windows program is, just press [ENTER] and it
- will install there. Otherwise, specify the driveletter and
- directory where your Windows program is, and then press [ENTER].
-
- OR, you may start WINDOWS, and choose RUN from the program
- manager and then key in A:\INSTY or whatever your diskette
- drive designation is, then follow the rest of the above
- instructions.
-
- NOTE that if you specify an EXTREMELY long directory name,
- the installation program will not work.
-
- After your program is copied or installed, from within Windows
- program manager you should select NEW to ADD the program ICON
- to your desktop. See your Windows manual if you need help here.
