- (c)1992 Alan Farrell SHAREWARE
-
- Suggested fee: Whatever you think is appropriate! (HAHAHAHAHA)
-
-
-
- Welcome to summer, school's out and the Amiga is, once again, on!
-
- Here is your latest chance for you to laugh at my shareware dreams. It's
- called ORDER and once again, it is NOT an arcade game.
-
- Order is a tile game played on a 7X7 board. Each tile can be one of 5
- colors or can be blank. The purpose of the game is to make me lots of
- mo...oops, the purpose of the game is to arrange the tiles in a way to
- achieve the maximum order.
-
- Each tile has a desire (don't we all!).
-
- Red tiles don't like to be around other red tiles.
-
- Blue tiles like to be around exactly 1 other blue tile.
-
- Green tiles like to be around exactly 2 other green tiles...
-
- Purple, exactly 3...
-
- Yellow, exactly 4.
-
- Points are awarded for satisfying the tiles desires. There is no right
- way to arrange the board and I really don't know the maximum score for
- any board. Experiment! Someone called this game easy to learn, hard to
- master, I dunno, I just hope SOMEONE sends in the shareware to show
-
- 10. they like the game.
- 9. my articulate plea tore at your heartstrings.
- 8. they're sick of me whining about it.
- 7. our country is full of intelligent, beautiful people who APPRECIATE
- my blood, sweat, and tears to bring a modicum of enjoyment into
- others lives.
- 6. that my programming, unlike my readme files, is worthwhile and
- should be rewarded.
- 5. that my readme files, unlike my programming, is worthwhile and
- should be rewarded.
- 4. how sexy they think it is for a guy to spend LOTS of time programming
- silly games in assembly that would take any moron 10 minutes in some
- wimpy language like C or BASIC.
- 3. they appreciate weak sexual innuendo in a readme file about a TILE
- GAME, for God's sake!
- 2. AMERICA IS GREAT! (Sorry, everyone ELSE throws that in to get money,
- thought I would give it a try)
- 1. they appreciate ripoffs of Dave's top 10 lists!
-
-
- Anyway, to run it either
-
- type "order" at a CLI prompt like power users do or...
-
- double-click on the silly, lazy man's icon provided.
-
- BTW, requires arp.library in libs...why, I can't remember right now.
-
-
- Notes you may want to read if you really like reading help files.
-
- 1. There is only 1 save file allowed. It saves all the boards to a file
- called OrderLevels.save in the directory the game was started from.
-
- 2. This game is fun, really, IT IS. You really do WANT to pay me for it,
- I can see it in your eyes! Really. Think fun. Think strategy. Think,
- I sure should send this Alan guy some money, he really is great!
-
-
- Strategy:
-
- 1 red tile alone is worth 1 pt.
- 2 blue tiles together is worth 4 pts, 2 pts each because each is
- touching just 1 blue tile....ahhh...I see the light dawning!
- 1 green touching 2 other greens is worth 3 points, but string them
- together for more pts as all the ones in the middle will be touching
- 2 other greens and earn pts.
- 1 purple touching 3 other purples earns 4 pts...see green hints.
- 1 yellow touching 4 other yellows earns 5 pts...see green hints.
-
- Thats all folks! Enjoy! -AJF
