- Word Hunter is a computerized version of a Word Search puzzle.
- Included in this Shareware version are about half a dozen puzzles
- to solve. You can also create your own Word Hunter puzzles.
- As the intro screen states, this program is Shareware which means
- if you like it and continue to use it then you are required to
- register the program with us. Registration simply means mailing us
- a check or money order for $20.00. In return for registering
- you will receive the official Word Hunter documentation, the
- latest version of Word Hunter (free of any Shareware notices),
- and several of our other Shareware programs for your evaluation.
-
- Getting Started-
- After installing Word Hunter (by copying all of its files to
- a directory) and loading Word Hunter you can either load and
- play one of our existing puzzles, or create your own puzzle.
- Most functions shouldn't take too long to figure out, but here
- are a few tips.
-
- * When playing you can 'circle' a word by dragging the mouse over
- all the letters in that word from start to end. If that's a word
- from the puzzle then it will be removed from the word list and
- displayed in a different color.
-
- * There is a timer option for those that wish to compete against
- the clock.
-
- * When creating a puzzle you can edit the word list. Control-M
- is used to separate words. We intend to make the <RETURN> or
- <ENTER> key serve this purpose eventually, but for now just
- type in a word, press CTRL-M, enter the next word . . . etc
-
- * To add letters to the puzzle just click on the appropriate
- letter from the letter selection box and click on the appropriate
- square. To place an entire word just click on that word, point to
- a square and then drag the mouse in the direction you want the word
- to be placed.
-
- Questions, comments, ideas, and registrations are appreciated.
-
- Intended Features Not Yet Implemented-
-
- * Random Puzzle Generation
- * Ability to print puzzle solutions
- * Ability to have puzzles with hidden/scrambled words in (e.g.
- once you're done the remaining letters form a word)
- * Different colors and fonts for the puzzle.
- * Background graphics for the puzzle.
-
- Enjoy!
