-
- EquiLog is nothing but a Master Mind : I think it's a better name for it,
- that's all.
-
-
-
- Warning : EquiLog works on PAL standard !
-
-
-
- To play with EquiLog, it's necessary to previously run HeliosMouse, which
- is a window activator.
-
- So, EquiLog package comprises :
-
- * the program EquiLog itself
- * its icon EquiLog.info
- * this file EquiLog.Doc_Fra or EquiLog.Doc_Eng
- * a drawer c: containing HeliosMouse
- * a drawer l: containing Helios-Handler
-
- For those that don't use a window activator :
-
- - copy HeliosMouse in the repertory c: of your system
- - copy Helios-Handler in the repertory l: of your system
- - launch from shell or startup-sequence the command :
-
- heliosmouse
-
- - that's all : now launch EquiLog from its workbench icon or from shell.
-
-
-
- Great thanks to David P. Cervone, author of HeliosMouse.

-
- How to play :
- -------------
-
-
-
- The player chooses his mode of game and the level of difficulty (3,4,5 or 6
- pawns) in the right part of the screen.
-
- There are three different games :
-
- - human versus human : player A chooses a combination that player B has to
- discover.
-
- - human versus Amiga : The player has to discover the combination that
- Amiga has chosen.
-
- - Amiga versus human : Amiga has to discover the combination chosen by the
- player. The latter may or may not enter his combination. If he enters
- it, Amiga will make propositions and supplies answers itself. If the
- player does not want to enter his combination, he will have to answer
- Amiga's propositions with the triangular buttons.
-
-
-
- The player chooses his colors with the cursor that appears in the left part
- of the screen when he goes on. Then, he puts the selected pawn on the
- central game area.
-
- To erase a pawn, just click two times on it.
-
- The upper lunar rocket erases the complete current line.
-
- The lower lunar rocket repeats a line : the undermost line of the game
- area if the player clicks on or under this line, or every line on which the
- player clicks.
-
- To uphold his proposition, the player must click with the right mousebut-
- ton.
-
- A "hole" without pawn is not considered as a color.
-
-
-
- Remember that in Master Mind, the first number (in white on the screen)
- indicates the number of pawns of the right color at the right place. The
- second number (in grey on the screen) indicates the number of pawns of the
- right color but not at the right place.
-
-
-
- You can remove every requester by only clicking on the right mousebutton.
-
-
-
- Warnings (but not bugs) :
-
- If you click just on the boundary of central area and left area, your bowl
- disappears and you must restart a new game. If you maintain the
- mousebutton pressed and you come and go over the screen, you will probably
- crash the system.
-
- EquiLog does not support screen zapping : if you come and go among screens,
- you may have a certain difficulty to restore the control of events.
-
- But in normal use, you don't have to do such things.
