-
- Concentrate is a game that will tax your memory. There are 24 picture
- squares presented. There are twelve pictures. You must find and match
- the pictures by clicking on the picture squares with the mouse. You
- have 3 minutes to play as many rounds as you can. (Advanced game level
- contains 12 pictures, Intermediate contains 10 pictures and Beginner
- contains 8 pictures.)
-
- The Chalice (or Holy Grail as it is called in the game) will give you a
- special surprise if you match it the first time you encounter it in any
- given game.
-
- The files concentr.msg and concentr.ini must reside in the CONCENTR directory.
- If you move the game to a different directory, be sure to keep the concentr.ini
- and the concentr.msg files in the active directory for the game.
-
- You may add your own pictures (.ico files) to Concentrate 3.0b by modifying the
- setup file. Use the Icon created in the Concentrate group to edit this file.
- You need to add the path to the icons you wish to use in the game behind
- each Picture{n}= line in the setup file. (e.g. Picture1=C:\windows\myicon.ico).
- Once you have setup your custom icons, use the Options Menu function Pictures
- to activate your custom pictures.
-
- You also may add your own language to Concentrate 3.0b. It is a bit more
- complicated than the custom icons, but not overly difficult. To add a
- language first use the Icon created in the Concentrate gruop to edit the
- setup file. There is a section called [LANGUAGE] with four language
- setups. Language one is English and Language 2 is Portuguese. You may add
- lanaguages three and four. Below the [LANGUAGE] section is a section
- called [TITLES]. Each Language has a section of messages with a numeric
- prefix that matches the selected language. You will notice the the 1.
- messages are all in English and the 2. messages are all in Portguese. You
- will need to add 3. or 4. sections that match the languages you setup in
- the [LANGUAGE] section. Use the English or Portuguese sections as a guide
- for how to translate the title information to your language.
-
- If you want the Help Text to be in your language you can also edit the Help
- file by using the Icon created in the Concentrate group. This file is also
- in sections by language. The messages in the 100 level number sections are
- English, 200 are Portuguese, 300 and 400 are for your new language sections.
- Use the 100 or 200 sections as a guide for how to translate the Help text to
- your language.
