- SLIDER V1.2
- Copyright (c) 1991
- By Greg Spurrier

-
- Hello and welcome to Slider. Slider is a puzzle game like
- the old puzzle with the numbers 1 through 15 on a board and a
- blank space. The object of the game was to slide the numbers
- around on the board until they were in order.
-
- Slider is just like that (sort of). Slider uses pictures
- instead of numbers and the player can choose between a 4x4, 5x5,
- or 6x6 playing grid.
-
- Slider is menu driven so it is easy to use and requires
- little explanation. All you have to do is use the up and down
- arrow keys to select the menu item you want and then press enter,
- or, you can type the number of the menu item and then press
- enter.
-
- Menu Items:
- ==== =====
-
- 1> Play Game
-
- This starts the game with the options which are shown on the
- bottom of the screen--play mode and picture.
-
- Playing is simple: use the arrow keys to move the blue
- square, which represents the blank space, around the board. When
- the square is moved, it switches places with the block that was
- in it's new place. For example:
-
- If the blocks looked like this (* is the blank space):
-
-
- A B C D
-
- E F G H
-
- I J K L
-
- M N * O
-
-
- and the right arrow was pressed, the blank space would switch
- places with the O and the new board would look like this:
-
-
-
- A B C D
-
- E F G H
-
- I J K L
-
- M N O *
-
-
- To aid you in unscrambling the picture, the correct picture
- is displayed to the left of the playing board so that you can
- always see where the pieces should end up to win the game.
-
- Once all of the have been put pieces in their proper places,
- some music will play and a congratulations message will appear.
- After that the main menu will be once again displayed.
-
- If you want to quit playing and go back to the main menu
- prior to completing the picture, just press the ESC key.
-
-
-
- 2-4> Grid Sizes
-
- By selecting one of these menu items, the play mode (dis-
- played at the bottom of the screen) is changed to play mode
- selected. Choose menu item 2 for 4x4 grid, 3 for 5x5 grid, and 4
- for 6x6.
-
-
-
- 5> Change Picture
-
- This menu selecting changes the picture to be used when
- playing. Currently there are four pictures to choose from. The
- name current picture is displayed at the bottom of the screen.
-
-
-
- 6> Exit
-
- This one quits the game and returns you to DOS.
