OVERVIEW
________
Wheel of Fortune is an adaptation of the very popular TV game show.
The game is played almost exactly the same, however, you will have to
use your imagination when it comes to who is turning the letters on
the board. I can assure you that Vanna is not doing the turning. The
game has a SAVE feature which allows the caller to quit the game and
pick up where they left off, when the caller next chooses the door.
NOTE: Most errors will be logged to a file called DFRAME.ERR, which is
created in the directory you run the door from.
INSTALLATION
____________
Installation is fairly easy and straight-forward. The following steps and
examples should have you up and running in a very short period of time.
It is assumed that you are familiar with setting up DOORS on your system.
To this end, only examples of the configuration file and Door batch file
are described.
1) Create a directory to hold all WHEEL of FORTUNE files.
2) Unzip WOFxx.ZIP into the the above directory.
3) Create a configuration file, with a name of your choice, or
modify the supplied WHEEL.CFG file. A description follows:
** Location of System FIle (See Below)
SUNRISE-80 BBS Your BBS Name

00000000 Registration Number
50 Number of entries in the Top Score file
Minimum=10, Maximum=50, Default=50
20 Number of puzzles each player has to solve.
Minimum=10, Maximum=50, Default=20
# 7 NUMBER of chances given to solve each
puzzle. A wrong letter choice, landing
on "LOSE TURN" or "BANKRUPT" reduces
this variable by 1. When it reaches 0
the caller receives 100 pts, whether
caller has accumulateed more or not,
and they move on to the next puzzle.
This is the default!
- or -
LEVELS - allows caller to select a level
of difficulty. There are 4 levels and each
level carries a different number of chances
& a sliding percentage of the wheel points
caller will accumulate.
2 The number of players that must complete
all puzzles, before the puzzles are
changed automatically by WOFMAINT, usually
in your nightly event processing.
# 3 Number of puzzles the caller is allowed
to play per day.
(Sysop is unlimited in registered version!)

2 1 = Do Not Display ADOPT-A-DOOR Message
2 = Display ADOPT-A-DOOR Message
# 2 Keyboard Timeout Value in Minutes.
If key not depressed for "value" minutes
then game is saved. Minimum = 2 minutes
# N Y = Allow callers to add Puzzles
N = Do not allow callers to add Puzzles.
(See 'Caller Supplied Puzzles' below)
12000 Value used to dictate the speed the
wheel will spin. Since I run on a 286/12
I have determined that a value of 12000
performs well. For an 8088 CPU you would
lower the value and for a faster CPU you
would raise the value (range: 1000-15000)
If you find the optimum value for a
specific machine type, please share it
on the support board or thru any Sysop
or BBS_Door echo you have access to!
# Y Y = Allow Sysop to play as many games as
there are questions
N = Sysop just like a regular player
@ # XXXX/YYYY Blackout Range From/To
@ # XXXX/YYYY Blackout Range From/To
@ # XXXX/YYYY Blackout Range From/To
@ # XXXX/YYYY Blackout Range From/To

N Y = Force Caller to respond to
Instructions <y/n). May need this with
Digiboards.
N = Allow caller to press ENTER in
response to Instructions <y/N>
N Y = Use Alias for Caller's name
(Requires Door.Sys)
N = Use Logon Name for Caller's name
Y Y = Log all callers to USAGEx
N = Do not log callers
