- In KRYPTO, a Quotation is converted into a series of symbols. Only the
- letters of the alphabet and the dash(-), apostrophe('), period(.) or
- questionmark(?) are allowed in the Quotation. The Kryptogram will be
- up to four rows deep, depending on the length of the Quotation. The
- maximum Quotation size is 100 letters and spaces. The purpose is to
- assign letters to the symbols in the table until the Quotation has been
- re-constructed.
-
- To play, type KRYPPLAY, choose an KRYPTO file, then choose a Kryptogram
- from that file. Press F1 to find out how to move, erase letters, etc.
- and what the Train and Cheat Modes do.
-
- Creating Kryptograms is easy. Just find an interesting quotation up to
- 100 letters and spaces long. ( Remember only letters of the alphabet,
- spaces, apostrophe('), period(.), dash(-) and questionmark (?) can be used.
- Type KRYPMAKE for the create module, and type in or select a filename.
- Enter your name ( as the creator of the KRYPTO file ) and press F10.
- Now choose ADD, type in your quotation and press F10. Now type in the
- the name of the Quotation's author ( or a sentence to give the player a
- clue about the quote ) and press F10.
-
- And that's it! You can add as many Kryptograms as you want to the file
- ( up to 200) but I suggest you limit the file to 20 or 30 or the file gets
- too big.
-
- KRYPMAKE produces two files. The first ends in .KSR and the second one
- has the same name but ends in .KRP. The .KSR file is the source code so
- that you can change a Quotation later. The .KRP file is the one that is
- used to play KRYPTO. So if you want to share your creations with others,
- they only need the KRYPPLAY module and the .KRP files.
-
- Why not upload some to your local Bulletin boards? Or to Compuserve
- ( the IBMNEW Forum - Word Games library or the Education Forum -
- ShareWare library ). Identify your files with the key word KRYPTO so
- others can find them easily. And watch for more of ours on Compuserve!
-
- Have fun!
