- Thank-you for downloading Code Breaker II. I place this
- program and its source code in the public domain so as
- to assist other programmers in learning the Windows
- environment.
-
- Code Breaker is based on a commercial game of similar
- design. The computer has randomly choosen a code
- consisting of 4 coloured pegs. Your task is to
- determine the code. As you play each round the computer
- will provide clues.
-
- NOTE: In the first version of this program some users
- believed that the position of the clues was important.
- This is not so. The program randomly positions clues.
- The position of a clue is not meant to be a clue itself.
-
- The source code and bitmap files are also included. I used the
- Borland C++ compiler although the code is standard C. There is
- nothing in the code unique to Borland so Microsoft users will
- have no problems picking apart or compiling the code.
-
- If you have Borland C++ and wish to compile this program
- then the easiest way is to create a project file with the
- following three files:
- wcdbrk2.c
- wcdbrk2.h
- wcdbrk2.rc
-
- For the most part I feel that this program is complete. There
- are only two things which could be done better. First, a bitmap
- instead of a text asterisk could be used to show the current
- colour. Secondly, the enormous help screen could be redone
- using the help compiler.
-
- Aside from placing this program in the public domain I have also
- designated it EGOWARE. What this means is that you must (please)
- send me a letter (electronically or postally) telling me that you
- have downloaded it and what you think of it. I plan to make a
- Scrapbook containing your messages. Also include what part of the
- world you are from.
-
- Please use my electronic mail box and not the message boards of the
- SIGS or Roundtables to contact me. I may only check in weekly and
- miss your message.
-
- Have fun!
