FLIPPER
A COMPUTER VERSION OF A REAL LIFE COUNTERPART
By Jonathan Albert
This is a game taken from the idea of a company called
Binary Arts, who make a game called Top-Spin. I got the idea
from them. It is the first computer version of it I know of.
Files:
You need:
Flipper.exe
Flipper.scr
Optional:
Flipper.doc (what you are reading)
The object of this simple game is to switch to position
of the 1 and 2 blocks so that the order goes 2 1 3 4 5 ....
This is not an easy task. They are only 3 moves, rotating
all the pieces clockwise and counter-clockwise, and flipping
the four pieces in the top, thus:
__________
1 2--3--4--5 6
20 ~~~~~~~~~~ 7
19 8
18 9
17 10
16 15 14 13 12 11
Would become As you can see,
__________ the 1 and 4, 2
1 5--4--3--2 6 and 3 positions
20 ~~~~~~~~~~ 7 switch.
19 8
18 9
17 10
16 15 14 13 12 11
Help:

The keys are:

Q quit - Y yes N no
H help
A clockwise
S counter-clockwise
F flip the 1 and 4, 2 and 3 positions in the block
Mouse:
If you have a Microsoft compatible mouse, this game can
be played entirely with it. Or if you find the keyboard
better, you can use it. When you quit, you can click on the
yellow on blue YES and NO to respond to the game.
This is public domain. If you really enjoy it send a
postcard.
Or send 50 cents. I just want to know people play it.

Thanks.
Note:
I had to add a short delay after every move so it doesn't repeat to
quickly. My dad was playing it and it was very difficult to flip the pieces
just once, so I fixed it.
