Meltdown
--------
by Mark Goddard 1993
Instructions:
Upon loading a simple screen is shown. Clicking on the faces will change the
type of player between human, computer and off. Sliding the bar at the
bottom of the screen changes the computer intelligence and clicking on start
starts!! Each player takes it in turns to place a piece on the board.
Players can put a piece in a blank square or in a square where they already
have a piece. When a square has a certain number of pieces on it it will
explode, spreading its pieces to surrounding squares. (It will explode when
it reaches its critical mass. This depends on the number of surrounding
squares. A corner square is surrounded by two squares and therefore will
explode when it has two pieces on it. A middle square is surrounded by four
squares and explodes when there are four pieces on it.) The pieces landing
on the surrounding squares add to the pieces already on them. If a piece
from an explosion lands on an opponent's piece then it is 'captured' and
turns into one of the present player's pieces. However, if these new squares
are equal to their critical mass then they too will explode, spreading their
pieces to surrounding squares causing a chain reaction. A player wins when
he has captured all of his opponent's pieces.
I hope you enjoy playing Meltdown. I wrote it in AMOS and as I don't have
a compiler it uses RAMOS to run.
Meltdown is freeware so give it to whoever you want.
Bye,
