-
- To update version 1.0 of Connections to 1.2 simply replace the program file
- named CONNECT.PRG and the opening screen named CONNECT.PI3 with the new ones.
- All other support files remain the same.
-
-
- Version 1.2 changes and additions
- ---------------------------------
-
- * Automatic loading of animation files is new. If you name your animation
- graphic blocks (.ANI) using numbers at the beginning or end of the filename,
- Connections will auto-load the entire animation at once. With the old
- method you must click on each .ANI file one at a time in exact order.
- Bypass this auto-load by holding down the ALTERNATE key when choosing the
- first .ANI file from the fileselector.
-
- Here are some examples of files that will auto-load:
-
- JUMP1.ANI 1LEAP.ANI
- JUMP2.ANI 2LEAP.ANI
- JUMP3.ANI 3LEAP.ANI
- JUMP4.ANI 4LEAP.ANI
- JUMP5.ANI 5LEAP.ANI
- JUMP6.ANI 6LEAP.ANI
-
-
- * Animation now supports "pingpong". This feature cycles the animation back
- and forth (forwards and backwards) in a continuous loop. Press the "P" key
- after placing down your animation to activate or deactivate the pingpong
- effect.
-
-
- * Better error correction and use of memory. Delete the opening screen
- CONNECT.PI3 to save memory.
-
-
- * If you plan on stacking an animation over top of a graphic child you can use
- the F10 key to align the two correctly. First set up the graphic child
- then when you next choose an animation, press F10 while moving "frame one"
- around the screen with the mouse. This will display the last graphic child
- and temporarily allow you to align the animation over top, just as it will
- look to the user. Press F10 again to toggle back to the original screen if
- you change your mind.
-
-
- * The menu bar on top of text windows can now display either,
-
- STATIC TEXT FIELD or SCROLLING TEXT FIELD
-
- Static text fields now adjust their vertical size as well as their
- horizontal size to fit small text files.
-
-
- * A new 150 cell ceiling for animation blocks
