- Introduction
-
- I'm a student of computer science in Karlsruhe, West Germany. After
- my last test, there were 6 weeks of emptiness lying before me. So I decided
- to fill this hole with training my VGA-Programming skills. This is
- what came out of this.
-
-
- The Game
-
- BRIX is an arcade-style strategy game. After the starting screen
- a tree of levels is shown. Depending on the number of the level
- you have one, two, three, ... choices. Each of the choices consists of
- 4 problems which have to be solved to get to the next level.
-
- THE ULTIMATE GOAL IS TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM ON THE RIGHT BOTTOM.
-
- In the tree of levels, use SPACE to select one (only the blue Problems
- can be selected).
-
- In a problem you have to move the icons together (vertically or horizontally)
- and they BLAST AWAY. There should be no icons left, or the problem is
- not solved. Attention: Sometimes it is necessary to put together three
- icons at once! On the left side the level, problem-numbers, the remaining
- time and some statistics on the icons left on the playing field are
- displayed.
-
- The selector is controlled with the cursor-keys, space toggles between
- move and select mode. During the game, ESC exits (immediately!),
- F4 restarts the level (up to 2 times, but the time continues). If you have
- used F4, there will be no bonus count.
- If time runs up, you can continue by pressing space (5 lives).
-
-
- Technical issues:
-
- This game uses a 320x200, 256 color-mode. The timing-loop uses the
- real-time-clock, so you must have at least an AT-class-computer!
-
- The game comes equipped with 112 different levels. I have written a
- level-editor to design the levels. If you want to do your own
- level(s), write or mail to me (adress below), so that i can send you the
- level editor.
-
-
- Release notes:
-
- I release this programm into the public domain, but if you enjoy it
- you may send me ANY amount you want (Michael Riedel, Volksbank Karlsruhe,
- West Germany, BLZ: 66190000, KtoNr.: 909599) ---- Thanks a lot!!!
-
- The best way to communicate with me is via the BITNET or INTERNET
- (see adresses below).
