- DESCRIPTION
-
- BUGFIXES FROM 3.0
-
- Apologies to anyone who may have downloaded V3.0, which I did manage
- to get deleted from Aminet. These bugs have now been fixed, and his
- prefs window now adjusts its size according to the resolution, and
- loads a font that the user will be able to read comfortably.
-
- I also added 60 new phrases, added some more contextual phrases, and
- improved the inflection with new discoveries that I've made on
- Amiga Speech. See the program "talk2me.lha" if you are interested in
- creating sofware that uses Amiga Speech - I think that the improvements
- made since V37 enable the creation of a Monkey Island-type game with
- speech for the different characters. talk2me.lha is currently being
- tested, and will be uploaded one week after this program.
-
- WHAT TIME IS IT, MR. WOLF?
-
- Wow, a clock with a difference! :)
-
- Puts a transparent image of a wolf on your Workbench. Click LMB above
- his eyes and Mr. Wolf will tell you the day and the date; click the LMB
- below his eyes, and he MIGHT tell you the time - though sometimes he
- will say something a bit cheeky instead.
-
- Discovered that it is possible to incorporate a wide range of inflections
- into Amiga speech.
-
- He has 120 phrases, plus various context-related messages, such as
-
- "You made me lose count, tick tock tick tock tick..."
- "Don't u point @ me!"
-
- Pressing the RMB will bring up his draggable window, which you can move
- to a new location, or press the gadget in this window to bring up his
- preferences window - where you will be able to specify Mr. Wolf's colours,
- and tell him when your birthday is.
-
- He will also tell you if your system clock has been trashed.
-
- Adjusts his aspect ratio and size according to the screen's resolution.
-
- Does absolutely nothing unless you click on him.
