- ADDUP (1.0)
-
- The program ADDUP.PRG requires the file ADDUP.DAT and should
- also be accompanied by this file ADDUP.TXT.
-
- Blocks fall in groups of three. The object is to make 3
- consecutive blocks add to 15 in either a horzontal, vertical, or
- diagonal row. When this occurs the blocks dissolve and any
- remaining blocks above fall downward. The second objective is to
- avoid 3 consecutive blocks that add to 14. When this occurs the
- blocks are marked with X and cannot be elimated from the game.
-
- Start the game with the F1 key. Exit the game with Escape or
- Undo.
-
- You maneuver the block group by the right, left and down arrow
- keys, or you can use the J, K, L keys. The left arrow or J moves
- blocks left, the right arrow or L moves blocks right. The down
- arrow or K changes the order of blocks in the three group that is
- falling. The space bar can be used to drop the group immediately.
-
- The fall rate of the blocks is slow to give you time to look for
- combinations that add to 15. Your time decreases as the columns
- get higher increasing the difficulty.
-
- Points are scored according to the numbers on the block
- eliminated.
-
- SCORE shows the score for the current game. X SQR shows the
- number of X blocks in the playfield. BLOCKS shows the number of
- blocks eliminated for the most recent fall. MOST shows the
- largest number of blocks eliminated on a fall. TOTAL shows the
- total number of block eliminated during the game.
-
- A high score file is maintained so you must have your disk
- unwrite protected in order for the file to be updated.
-
- An alternate game could be played where the goal is to get the
- largest number of X blocks on the playfield. The program has no
- provision for retaining a list of these scores.
-
- The program was made using GFA basic 3.50 and may be distributed
- freely providing it is accompanied by this text file.
