S C H O T Z
by Dave Moorman
SchotZ is about Success and
Failure, not winning and losing. You
[cannot] lose, but boy can you FAIL!
Each Level presents five screens
of colored tiles on a white
background. Click on groups of three
or more tiles of the same color
touching each other left/right/above/
below. The random rows will scroll
towards the top. If a colored tile
would scroll off the top,
YOU FAILED!
You will have to do the screen over
again. And again. And again. Until you
Succeed.
If you clear all the tiles before
the time is up, you receive a bonus.
Then comes THE WALL, a predesigned
screen full of colored tiles that
[must] be removed in exactly the right
order. Should you have a few tiles
left over, click the big X in the
lower right corner of the screen. How
can I put this nicely? Oh, yes:
YOU FAILED!
You will have to do The Wall over
again. And again. And etc. Forever and
ever.
Unless you choose to Quit. If your
score is in the Top Ten, you will have
a chance to input your name. If not,
you can always Clear the Top Ten list
and put the current score in top
place.
That's all there is to it. I got
the idea from my sister who described
something like this she downloaded
from Yahoo. The only tricky part of
the program was the recursive code
that figures out if three or more
tiles are next to each other. I was
going to explain this technique in
detail, but I am out of space.
So, with that bit of luck, take
your best SchotZ!
