PROGRAM INFORMATION
Spider Spell has been written in STOS
and then compiled. A fully upgraded
version of STOS was used, so it is
compatible with all versions of ST's
and STE's.
RUNNING
Place the disk in drive A and turn on
the ST. When the desktop appears
double click on the SPIDER.PRG icon.
The program will then load and run.
This file may be placed in an AUTO
folder for automatic loading and
running when the ST is turned on.
INTRODUCTION
Spider Spell is a non-violent version
of hangman. It has a dictionary of
over 4,000 words, and uses music and
dancing bugs as a reward for correct
words. Spider Spell is entirely mouse
driven.
THE STORY
The 3 bug brothers have a broken cord
on their radio. They are sad as they
love to dance to music. The 3 snake
sisters have agreed to help them by
joining together to form a new cord,
but the want the bug brothers to work
for their help. They must guess a word
that each one thinks of. As they get a
word correct one of the snake sisters
will form a part of the cord. Once all
three snakes are joined to the cord,
the radio will turn on, a tune will
play and the bugs will dance. Your job
is to help the bug brothers by
guessing each letter in a word. Sammy
spider will move each letter as you
guess it, either to place it in the
word or to have Betty beetle burn it.
You may only get eight guesses wrong
before Sammy will show you the word
and you'll have to start with a new
word.
INSTRUCTIONS
Once loaded, the Spider Spell
selection screen appears. Use the
mouse to select either end game or the
number of letters in a word - 3 to 8
letters or any word. The main game
screen will appear. Select letters by
moving the mouse over them and
pressing either mouse button. The
letter will turn green, and cannot be
selected again. If the letter is in
the word then Sammy will move down the
screen and take the letter up to the
word box. If the letter is not in the
word then one of the eight baby bugs
will move onto the screen. Once all
eight babies are on the screen Sammy
will show you the word and then give
you another word to guess. You may
quit this game at any time by
selecting the 'END' box at the base of
the screen.
UNDERSOFT
We are a group of programmers that
see a great gap in the ST software
market for children's software - both
educational and games. We produce this
software as shareware and encourage
you to copy it and give copies away to
friends and enemies. We do ask that
all files remain unaltered on the disk
if you choose to share it around. If
you use and enjoy the program then
please send an amount of money,
suggest $15-20, to the address below
to become a registered user. (Does
this mean I'll soon be rich? Ha Ha!)
