TALLYHO! Version 1.1
--------------------
Version 1.1 fixes a bug that was in version 1.0 that caused TallyHo! not to
work properly on Workbench screens of less than 16 colors.
In order to insure the proper appearance of the TallyHo! screens, copy the
contents of the TH!_font directory to your FONTS: directory. The XEN font
is one that I use as my system default. I'm not really sure where it came
from so you may already possess it. You may delete the TH!_font directory
and it's contents after you have copied the contents to your FONTS: directory.
TallyHo! was developed and tested on an A500 with 2.5 Meg of RAM, however, I
know of no reason why it would not work on any Amiga setup including machines
running WB1.3 with only 500K of RAM. If you find this to be false, please let
me know and I will try to correct it.
I originally wrote TallyHo! just to get familiar with some of the abilities
of ACE-Basic V2.0 (an AmigaBASIC compiler with some nice extras by David Benn)
and I thought my kids would enjoy playing it. I had no original intentions of
uploading it to any BBS's since I wasn't sure if the game already existed for
Amiga's and it doesn't take long to master it, but then changed my mind since
I thought somebody may enjoy it.
Once you start playing the game, there will be additional files created to
hold the high scores. Do not try to modify these files manually because the
program will notice the change and create a new file eliminating any previous
high scores. I did this because my kids thought they would make me believe
that they had beat my scores, when in fact they had manually changed their
scores. I was on to their tricks when they set their scores higher than the
maximum possible score. Now they have to play it to get a score!
I hope you enjoy playing TallyHo! and if you have any comments you would like
to make, please drop me a line. Especially if you have any problems with it,
I can learn from my mistakes.
