MultiPuzzle v1.1
================
Copyright (C) 1994 Lorens Younes (d93-hyo@nada.kth.se)
This program may be freely distributed except for commercial purpose,
so long as the files included are not separated or modified.
INTRODUCTION
------------
MultiPuzzle is a little game that runs on the Workbench screen.
The purpose is to sort a number of bricks so that they form a picture.
The number of bricks and the picture used may be set by the user.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
-------------------
Since MultiPuzzle uses datatypes.library to load pictures, it requires
version 3.0 or higher of the OS.
HOW TO PLAY
-----------
When MultiPuzzle is run, it tries to load the selected picture (or a
default one if none has been selected). If this fails, a file requester
will open where a picture can be selected. When the picture is loaded a
window will open on the Workbench screen where the picture is diplayed.
To start a new game choose New from the Game menu. The bricks are now
shuffled (it may take some time if there are lots of bricks). When the
bricks have been shuffled it's time to start sorting them.
The bricks are moved by clicking on them with the left mousebutton or by
using the arrow keys. Only neighbors to the empty position may be moved.
It's possible to move a whole row or column with a single mouse click.
Since it some times is hard to see any difference between two bricks it's
possible to display there numbers. This is done by pressing 'n'. If the
mouse has three buttons, pressing the button in the middle also displays
the numbers. The numbers are hidden when a brick is moved or by pressing
'n' again (or the middle mousebutton).
To quit the program choose Quit from the Game menu or just close the
window.
The picture can also be set from within the program by selecting
Load Picture in the Settings menu. This brings up a file requester from
where a new picture can be chosen.
TOOLTYPES
---------
MultiPuzzle currently recognize three tooltypes:
PUBSCREEN=<name of public screen>
Use this to open the window on other public screen than the default one.
(If there is no public screen with the given name, the program will trie
to open its window on the default public screen).
PICTURE=<name of picture>
Set this to the name of the picture to be used.
ROWS=<number of rows>
Use this to set the number of rows wanted.
COLUMNS=<number of columns>
Use this to set the number of columns wanted.
(NOTE! The number of rows or columns set here will be corrected if they
are to big or small.)
VERSION HISTORY
---------------
v1.0 (94-04-10) Initial version.
