- This program is a freebe.. meaning it is NOT shareware or freeware. Just
- use it to your hearts content!
-
- ---------------------------- FindMe V1.0 --------------------------------
-
- This is just a quick little game I threw together! It will show the
- complete alphabet at the bottom of the screen and some empty blocks above
- that. The empty blocks represent a word that you must guess at its letters.
- You do that by clicking on one of the LETTERS in the alphabet blocks at the
- bottom, if you get a correct letter... it will show its position in what was
- the empty blocks. If it is NOT in the word.. you will be told. You can
- click on the HINT block to get a slight hint as to what the word might be.
- Of course if you click in the GIVE UP block... you will be shown what the
- word was. If you click in the top BLOCK that has "F I N D M E !" on it...
- you can take a guess at the word. Wrong guesses will show you what the
- word was and will go onto the next word.
- Hitting the ESC (Escape) key will usally exit the program depending where
- you are at.. clicking in the QUIT box will do likewise.
- Once the word is either 'guessed at' or is 'solved' you are told to "click
- the left mouse button to continue or click in QUIT To quit" you can also
- hit ANY KEY to continue (except for ESC, which will exit the program).
-
- You can run it by clicking its icons or run it from CLI ... BUT! if you do
- run it from CLI... you MUST set a stack of at least 15,000.
-
- When you first run the program.. it will load a file called 'WORDS', which
- must be in the same directory as you run FINDME from. If the 'WORDS' file
- is not found.. it will tell you so and will exit the program. You can
- create your own 'WORDS' file with a plain old text editor (ED would do
- nicely). The way you must set it up (in a file) would be to do in it the
- following manner:
-
- word/hint text
- word/hint text
- word/hint text
- etc. etc. up to 500 lines worth
-
- or to be more exact:
-
- telephone/something you talk to
-
- Just to give you a little insite into the program... the 'WORDS' file is
- read into memory and is then re-arranged.
- So... IF "telephone/something you talk to" WAS the first line of the 'WORDS'
- text file it MAY actually end up being the 20th or whatever. I did that so
- the same words/hint text would NOT follow any particular order. Also.. as
- words/hint texts are shown.. they are marked as already being shown and will
- not show again until all of the other ones have been shown. I haven't tried
- it out, but if the 'WORDS' file is up to 500 lines long... it MAY? take
- FINDME a bit of time to find a word/hint text that has NOT been used
- already. Like I said... I haven't tried it out.
-
- The WORD you may put into the 'WORDS' file MUST NOT have anything in it
- BUT LETTERS!!!!!! Nor can you use a SPACE within the word. The
- characters shown below CANNOT BE USED!!!
-
- !@#$%^&*()_+|1234567890-={}[]"':;`~<>?/., or a SPACE
-
- Do not put any BLANK lines in the 'WORDS' file.
- You must seperate the actual WORD from the hint text with a /.
- The hint text can be up to 62 characters long.
- The actual word can be up to 26 characters long.
- Maximum number of lines allowed in the 'WORDS' file is 500, anything more
- then that will be ignored when the file is read.
