WORDCHASE CHANGES
-----------------
The following are the fixes and enhancements that Wordchase
has gone through from version 1.0 to the present.
#########################################################
ENHANCEMENTS FROM 2.0 TO 2.0a
1. DISPLAYING SCORES - In some instances you would
receive an "@" sign next to the computers
score and word count. This has been fixed.
2. DISPLAYING SCREENS - When running Wordchase under
Windows 95 you would sometimes get a screen
that was slightly larger then the bitmap
it was displaying. This has been fixed.
3. SCORING - During the round you will now be able to
track your progress during the round. You
will notice the SCORE and WORDS captions
will turn white and track your current score
and word count. This score is only to show
you how many words you've selected, it will
change accordingly depending on how many
of those words match the computers list of
words.
4. SCORING - If you receive a high score you will now
be presented with your high score for that
round and the computers score for that round.
Previously you would receive your high score
for the round and the computers score for
the game. This was confusing and has been
fixed.
5. WINDOWS 95 - We have gotten plenty of feedback about
Windows 95 and Wordchase, and so far there
have been no problems with the games
operation. Wordchase runs under Windows 95
but is still a 16 bit application.
6. GAME - You now have 4 game limits. Instead of only
playing to 500 or 1000 points, you can now
choose between 100, 300, 500 or 1000 points.
#########################################################
ENHANCEMENTS FROM 1.0a TO 2.0
1. SOUND - WordChase now supports your Sound Card. If you
don't have a sound card there is limited sound
available for your PC Speaker.
2. CHANGING PUZZLES - You can now manipulate the order of
the puzzles. You have two options, first is to
start over at the beginning. Second is to enter
a puzzle number and start at that number.
3. PUZZLE DISPLAY - The current puzzle number being played
is displayed in the caption of the floating
toolbar. This is to help you identify the
puzzles as you're going along.
4. MORE PUZZLES - The registered version now comes with
200 puzzles instead of 100.
5. REGISTRATION MODULE - WordChase now allows you to fill
out the registration form within the program. Just
enter the necessary information and hit print.
6. CERTIFIED SPELLING OF ALL WORDS - We now run the puzzles
and dictionary against a database for correct
spelling. All words the computer produces are
guaranteed to be correctly spelled.
7. WINDOWS 95 COMPATIBLE - WordChase has been tested under
"Windows 95" and will easily migrate to this new
operating system when it becomes available.
#########################################################
ENHANCEMENTS FROM 1.0 TO 1.0A
1. WCHASE.INI - WordChase now has its own .INI file and no
longer uses the win.ini file to store it's info in.
The program will also check your win.ini file for
version 1.0 information and delete it if found.
2. ACCEPTING WORDS - WordChase now allows you to accept a
word by clicking the "Right Mouse Button", as well
as clicking the Left mouse button on the ACCEPT
button. This feature speeds up the game
tremendously, and is quite handy.
3. 3 MINUTE GAME - WordChase now has a option for a three
minute game, version 1.0 only had 5, 7 & 10 minute
game options.
