3DHOUSE3 - by Charles Carr
Version 3 - February 1993
To run 3DHOUSE3, type [RUNVGA 3DHOUSE3.RUN]. Make sure both files are
in the path. When the title menu comes up, choose '3' if you have a
mouse. It can easily be used with the keyboard though, and SHOULD work
as-is with a joystick. Give it a try.
If you have a SoundBlaster or Adlib compatible sound card you'll be
'alerted' when you wander into a wall.
This new version has many improvements over earlier ones: more objects
(Sammi has a new friend!), better palettes, a hidden version number
(good luck!) and a tighter screen in general.
An undocumented feature (aren't they FUN?!): Putting the crosshairs
on a door and firing (by pressing the left mouse button) instantly
transports you inside it. A fast way to get around. I wish I could do
THAT at home! Some things teleport you when clicked.
Using the keyboard:
------------------
Q - rotate left H - move left
W - rotate right J - move right
P - look upward R - rise
L - look downward F - descend
O - move forward U - U turn
K - move backward I - center view vertically
Also, pressing 'V' then 'B' allows you to rise VERY high using 'R' and
'F'. Bird's-eye view!

When using the mouse, pressing the right button usually does the same
thing as the the left - only much faster.
I wrote 3DHOUSE3 with DoMark's "Virtual Reality Studio" using Incentive's
FREESCAPE language. It's great - definitely worth getting if you're into
this sort of thing. ACCOLADE is the American distributor. You might be
able to order it directly from them but it would probably cost a bit more
(800/245-7744). Check game distributors in any issue of "Computer Gaming
World" magazine for a discounted price.
