- INTRODUCTION -- WHAT'S SUJU
- ---------------------------
-
- The game of SuJu was derived from the word game of Jumbles. In the
- game of SuJu, you are shown four scrambled words. Two of the words
- contain five letters each, the other two contain six letters each.
- These words must be unscrambled to form four common words you'd
- find in the dictionary. Each of these words contains one or more
- mystery letters. As each of the words are solved, the mystery
- letters will appear. Once all the words have been solved, you'll
- have all the mystery letters exposed which form a mystery answer.
- You must now unscramble the mystery letters to form the mystery
- answer. Once that has been done, you've completed the jumble.
-
-
- INSTALLING SUJU
- ---------------
-
- Hard Disk Installation
- ----------------------
-
- Place your SuJu disk in Drive A and from your DOS prompt, type in
- "SUJUHINS" and press ENTER. This will create a directory on your
- Drive C called \Games and copy the necessary files needed by SuJu
- into that directory. When you're done and you see the DOS prompt, type in
- "SUJU" to start playing the game.
-
-
- HOW TO PLAY SUJU
- ----------------
-
- SuJu has two modes of play, the Normal and Tournament playing
- modes. When you first boot up SuJu, you will be in the normal
- playing mode. You are allowed to switch back and forth from the
- normal and tournament modes only at the beginning of each round of
- play. Both the Normal and Tournament modes consist of playing three
- games which make up one round. You may quit anytime but may not
- move from Normal to Tournament play until each round has been
- completed.
-
- Normal Playing Mode
-
- While playing the game in the Normal mode, you may take as long as
- you wish to solve the jumbles and the mystery answer. Beside each of
- the scramble words, you'll see a pointer with the current word
- number you will be working on. Move this pointer to change to a
- different word by using either the Up or Down arrow. As you do
- this, the pointer will move to another word and at the same time
- display a prompt at the lower portion of your screen where you will
- be typing in your answers. If you have trouble solving any of the
- words, press the Alt-H key combination to receive help. If you want
- a clue for the mystery answer, you can press Alt-C. The Normal Mode
- consists of a three-game series.
-
- Tournament Playing Mode
-
- The tournament mode is quite different. You're not given much time
- to solve the four words and the mystery answer. When you start the
- tournament mode, you start with the first word and proceed to the
- next, only after solving each word. After all four words have been
- solved, a clue for the answer is shown. You then solve the answer.
- When you start the tournament mode, you must continue until the
- tournament is over. The tournament consists of three different Suju
- Jumbles that are different from the ones used in the normal mode.
- If you take too much time entering your answers, letters will show
- up to help you out until the word or answer has been solved. This
- will continue until the complete jumble has been solved. You then
- proceed to the next jumble until the end of the tournament. When
- the tournament starts, you only have to enter your answers without
- pressing the ENTER key. In the tournament mode, pressing the ENTER
- key will erase your answer.
-
-
- NORMAL PLAYING OPTIONS
- ----------------------
-
- All the options require you to press either one key or the
- combination of the Alt key and a letter. Solve one of the words or
- answer by just typing in what you think the word or answer should
- be, then press the ENTER key. There will be a prompt on
- the lower portion of your screen awaiting your input. While in the
- normal mode, you have the following options:
-
- Up/Down Arrows - Move Word Pointer
-
- This will allow you to move from one word to another. An arrow will
- point to each word you are currently working on.
-
- Alt C - Show Clue
-
- When you press Alt-C, you will be shown the clue for the answer.
- You can do this anytime.
-
- Alt H - Help with Word or Answer
-
- This is what you press if you want help with one of the words or
- the SuJu Answer. Be sure your cursor is pointing to the word you
- want help with. Each time this is pressed, a letter will appear at
- random to help you with the word. Once all four words have been
- solved, Alt-H will give you help for the SuJu answer only.
-
- Alt K - Del Top 10 (REGISTERED VERSION ONLY)
-
- This will allow you to erase the Top 10 score and start over.
-
- Alt Q - Quit & Show
-
- If you want to quit the game and see the unsolved jumble, then you
- press this key.
-
- F2 - Playing Mode
-
- Pressing the F2 key will toggle you back and forth between the
- normal playing mode and the tournament playing mode.
-
- F5 - Next Game
-
- Pressing this key will bring up the next game of SuJu.
-
- F7 - High Scores (REGISTERED VERSION SAVES HIGH SCORE)
-
- Press F7 to display the top 10 highest scores. You will see
- the highest top 10 for both the normal and tournament modes.
-
- F8 - Score Chart
-
- Press F8 to display the score chart. This will show you how the
- game of SuJu is scored.
-
- F9 - Sound
-
- Pressing F9 will toggle the sound OFF and ON. I wouldn't want your
- boss to hear you playing SuJu during working hours.
-
- F10 - Quit Game
-
- Need we discuss this key...
-
-
- TOURNAMENT PLAYING OPTIONS
- --------------------------
-
- The options available in the tournament mode are available to you
- only prior to starting the tournament and at the end of the
- tournament. While the tournament is in play, you just type in the
- correct words or answer at the prompt that will be displayed at the
- bottom of the screen without the need to hit the ENTER key. As
- soon as you've solved one word, the pointer will move to the next
- word for you. The clue for the mystery answer will be given to you
- without point deductions.
-
- ENTER - Start Tournament Play
-
- The following options are available in the Tournament Mode prior to
- starting tournament play:
-
- Alt S - Playing Speed
-
- Pressing Alt-S will toggle you through four speed modes. The four
- modes are: NOVICE, INTERMEDIATE, EXPERT and MASTER. When high
- scores are saved to disk, your score will show which speed mode you
- achieved your score in. The first letter of the mode will be shown,
- such as 5690 N, 9865 M, etc.
-
- F2 - Return to Normal Playing Mode
-
- F7, F8, F9 & F10 - Same functions as the Normal Mode.
-
- NOTE: You are encouraged NOT to cheat! Enough said about that.

- Expert=x3 and Master=x4.

- SuJu puzzles for the Normal Mode, and 20 for the Tournament Mode.
- The Registered versions of SuJu come with 100 puzzles for each mode
- of play.
-
-
- CLUES & TIPS FOR TOURNAMENT PLAYERS
- -----------------------------------
-
- While typing in your correct answer for any of the four words or the
- SuJu Answer, you may hear a beep. Don't get alarmed! This is just a
- little warning letting you know you've just been given a bit of
- help for the word you're working on. This beep will only occur if
- you've started to type in an answer and the help comes up before
- you have a chance to finish typing in your answer. SuJu is letting
- you know your typing is being erased and you must start over with
- that answer.
-
- At times, you may have part of your SuJu Answer solved for you. This
- would normally be a word or two. If you see this in one of your
- SuJu answers, DO NOT type those words in as part of your answer.
- You will be wrong if you do. SuJu is looking for the missing
- letters, not letters or characters that may be given to you as
- help. An exception to this can be a hyphenated word or a word that
- contains an apostrophe. If this occurs, you can either enter the
- special character or not. SuJu doesn't care.
-
- Examples of SuJu answers (Assume the correct answer to be GOOD
- GAME):
-
- Answer Your correct response would be
-
- .... .... GOOD GAME
- A .... .... GOOD GAME
- ANOTHER ....-.... GOOD GAME or GOOD-GAME
- WHAT'S A ".... ...." GOOD GAME or "GOOD GAME"
-
-
- The best and fastest way to enter the SuJu answer is to type in the
- letters that belong where the missing letters are. In the SuJu Answer,
- the missing letters are displayed as "Dots or Periods".
