Welcome to the cute little program that I have done in AmigaVision.
Its called HangMan. It looks really neat and it functions pretty good
also. My name is John Seitz and I wrote this little program. If you
have any questions about this program you can write to me on GEnie
(J.Seitz3)
Before I start I would like to thank some people. First to Jeff and
Jeff-O, the best roommates during college at University of Florida.
Also to Astrid, thanks for being funny. And most important, my girl-
friend, Jenny. Thanks to all of you.
Now to the program.
This is a small, simple hangman game that I wrote in AmigaVision
(AV). This program took about 5 days to write because programming
this was to teach me AV. So if the programming sucks, sue me....I was
learning AV.
When you PRESENT the AV script you will be show the opening screen.
You will see some button marked with labels, the gallows, and the
place where the word fits. Clicking any where but the letter buttons
will bring up the help file. Clicking on the letter button will
select that button and check to see if you are correct. If you are
not then you get one body part added to the gallows. You get six (6)
wrong tries before you are die. Also if you are a WIMP, you can use
the GIVE UP button to show you the word and move on to the next word.
Explanation of the word database used:
In order to get a random word from the database, I had to use to
fields in the database (hangman.words.DBF). The first field is a
count field and the second is the actual word field. If you are
going to add more words to this database make sure that the new
word has its own count number in field one (1) I have included 56
words in this database each with 9 letters or less. When adding
words, also use 9 letters or less. Why because I wrote it that
way, change it if you want! Just kidding.
About the Help File:
I used brushes to show my help file. Well I stole the idea for
the brush from the StarShip AV calendar script. I thought this type
of help file is really good. Sorry if I stepped on anyone's toes.
Well I really hope that you like this program. It was fun and easy to
do with AV and a really good paint program (DPAINT III of course).
