-
- INCOMPATABILITES AND LIMITATIONS ---------------------
-
- Windows Only:
- CRAPS! is a game designed for use with Microsoft Windows(R) 3.X.
- It will not run in DOS alone. There is not a DOS version
- available.
-
- Screen Drivers:
- The screen layout is 640x480 pixels. This is full screen on
- EGA/VGA monitors. The game resolution cannot be changed. On
- screens with greater resolution the game cannot be played full
- screen. On screens with less resolution, the layout will not fit
- on the screen.
-
- Using large fonts on high resolution monitors may cause some of
- the game windows to truncate and crowd text in some dialog boxes.
-
-
-
- GENERAL -----------------------------------------------
-
- CRAPS! is an attempt to re-create casino play. Unlike many of
- the video craps games available, CRAPS! attempts to handle play
- as it is found in casinos. A comprehensive help file is provided
- to explain the game and how to play. This copy of CRAPS! is not
- disabled in any way, and other than the initial "CRAPS! is not
- Free" window, there are no "pester" screens that pop up
- threatening you with lifelong guilt if you don't register.
-
- This version of CRAPS! is being released on January 1, 1994. As
- author, I do have plans for future releases and upgrades.
- Potential (emphasis on POTENTIAL) upgrade features include:
-
- 1. Versions for different screen resolutions,
- 2. Auto-play or program betting (this would allow the player to
- develop strategies and let the computer do the work!),
- 3. Two person play,
- 4. A cheaters feature (you determine the number rolled!),
- 5. Sounds for those with sound boards.
-
- Again, I make no promises, but there is room for improvements and
- upgrades will come. As this is the case, please note the date
- of this release. If this version is over six months old, there
- may very well be a newer version available.
-
- If you received CRAPS! in the self-extracting file, you may
- freely distribute the game as long as you distribute the self-
- extracting exe in its original condition and do so without
- compensation. This includes uploading to bullitin boards.
