Literati Lite Version 1.16
Copyright (c) 1994 Diana Gruber
Windows conversion: Bob Provencher, Aesir Software, Inc.
An MVP Software Production
This game is shareware. You may freely try it. If you like it or
find it useful, then you must register with MVP Software. To
"register" a shareware game means to purchase it directly from the
developer. (Shareware games are evaluation versions only, which
means you have the right to try them, but after trying them you must
either register them with the author or delete them from your
system. It is unlikely that anyone will check up on you, so
shareware works because of the honesty of users.) When you register
you will receive Literati Plus for Windows, which includes many
additional features, such as:
* A much bigger dictionary, including seven-letter words.
* The ability to edit the dictionary, including adding, deleting
and modifying words.
* Many different board configurations.
* Play in different screen resolutoins for full-screen play on
resolutions up to 1024x768.
* A printed manual with tips and hints by the author.
* Lots more!
Literati Plus for Windows is just $24.95 plus shipping. So order
today! Registered users receive a special offer on other MVP
products.
To order, call 800-968-9684 toll-free 24 hours a day. Please have
your Master Card or Visa ready when you call. Or fill out the order
form in this manual and fax it to: 616-245-3204. Make sure your
credit card number and expiration date are legible. Or if you
prefer mail the order form and your check to: MVP Software, 1035
Dallas SE, Grand Rapids, MI 49507-1407.
For overseas orders or technical support call 616-245-8376.
This document refers to two programs: Literati Lite, the shareware
version of Literati, and Literati PLUS, the retail version of
Literati. You may run Literati Lite for the purpose of evaluating
the program. You may distribute it according to the terms of the
license agreement. When you "register" Literati Lite, you will be
sent a copy of Literati PLUS. The differences between Literati Lite
and Literati PLUS are described below.
Before I get into the details of program functionality, which is
required by documentation critics, and hardly anybody else, let me
answer the most commonly asked Literati question, so that anybody
who is looking for this bit of information can satisify their
curiosity and get back to playing Literati:
Most Commonly Asked Literati Question
_____________________________________
Q. Why does the computer get to cheat and use words like "aa",
"ef", and "xu"?
A. We have done our very best to generate a good word list for
Literati! Many people have worked on the dictionary, most
especially Shirley Jensen, who spent many hours looking up words in
other dictionaries for spelling and meaning. Although we have tried
to have a complete and accurate dictionary, experience has shown we
will never be able to please everybody. That's why Literati PLUS
gives you a method to edit and personalize the dictionary yourself.
Knowing the legal two-letter words is the key to winning Literati.
You must take advantage of the two-letter cross words to get the
highest score. Here is a list of the two letter words in the
Literati dictionary:
aa ad ae ah ai am an ar as at aw ax ay ba be bi bo by da de do ef
eh el em en er es et ex fa go ha he hi ho id if in is it jo ka la
li lo ma me mi mu my na no nu od oe of oh om on op or os ow ox oy
pa pe pi re si so ta ti to uh un up us ut we wo xi xu ya ye
If you don't like any of these words (I don't like some of them),
you can remove them from the dictionary. Use the DEDICT program to
decompress the dictionary, then use any text editor to add or remove
words. Be sure the words are in alphabetical order! When you have
the dictionary just the way you want it, use ENDICT to "encrypt" the
dictionary, that is, put it in a form that Literati can use.
History of Literati
___________________
Literati is a Windows port of a DOS shareware game. Diana Gruber
(me) wrote the original DOS program in 1990.
In late 1993 it became clear there was a big demand for Windows
games. Even inferior Windows games were selling like hotcakes.
Personally, I am amazed at the popularity of Windows. Why did it
catch on like it did? There are plenty of answers, but bottom line,
Windows was a tidal wave and if I wanted to ride, I needed to grab a
surf board. I needed a Windows game.
Poking around on my hard disk, it seemed that this was the best game
to port to Windows from DOS. It doesn't require high speed
animation (something Windows does not do well); rather it is an
intellectual game that requires sitting and thinking (something
Windows is great at).
I was lucky to run into Bob Provencher in the Gamers forum on
CompuServe. Bob is an outstanding Windows programmer. Bob agreed
to port the DOS game to Windows, but in the process, it became a
different game. Bob changed the game board around, modernized the
user interface, and added many new features. The game became so
different from the DOS version, we gave it a different name. We
called it "Literati".
Literati, as defined in the dictionary, means persons of scholarly
or literary attainments, intellectuals or member of the
intelligensia. If you can play and beat Literati, that certainly
describes you. Literati is not a "twitch" game. There is no
shooting and dying, monsters, evil robots, Nazis, or lava pits. We
leave those effects to Apogee and Id. Literati is for the person
who is interested in more cerebral pursuits.
Congratulations on choosing Literati on which to while away your
computer gaming time! You have earned the right to feel righteously
superior to anybody playing Doom.
Hardware Requirements
_____________________
Here is what you need to play Literati: You need some kind of a
Windows compatible machine (80386+, etc) with a VGA card and a VGA
or multisync monitor.
A sound card is optional, and Literati will play background music
which can be turned off.
Literati was designed to work with a mouse, and it works best with a
mouse. A keyboard-only mode is also supported.
If you use the default dictionary, Literati should run without
problems in 2M. f you use a larger dictionary, you may see a
message: "Unable to allocate memory".
If you have downloaded Literati and tried to run it, and you
discovered that it will not run on your system, all I can say is I
am sorry. This program will not be rewritten to work on your
system. It is a Windows VGA game.
Installing Literati
___________________
In general, to install Literati, all you have to do is copy all the
files into the directory of your choice or run Setup.
You might find version 1.16 of Literati in the file LITLIT16.ZIP.
Use the program PKUNZIP to unzip it. If you need help with PKUNZIP,
ask the sysop of the board where you downloaded Literati.

Differences Between Literati Lite and Literati PLUS
___________________________________________________
Literati Lite (affectionately known as "Lit Lite") is the shareware
version of Literati. It may be distributed through the usual
shareware methods, as described in the LICENSE.DOC file. When you
register Literati Lite, you will receive a copy of Literati PLUS.
Literati PLUS has all the functionality of Literati Lite, plus it
adds the following features:
1. More words in the dictionary. The shareware distribution was
kept small by leaving the 7 and 8 letter words out of the Literati
Lite dictionary.
2. Windows HLP file. Again, this was left out to keep the
shareware distribution file small.
3. Ability to update the dictionary. Two utility programs,
ENDICT.EXE and DEDICT.EXE make it easy to decompress and encode the
Literati dictionary so that you can add your own words to it using
your favorite text editor.
4. Reconfigurable board. Once you have conquered the default
Literati board layout, you can try different layouts for more
challenge and more fun! You can also change the colors.
5. Four additional music selections for a total of seven.
In addition, when you register Literati, you will receive a printed
manual from MVP Software, a FREE offer for their other programs, and
you will be added to their mailing list and get information about
other great games in the future.
Literati PLUS is only $24.95 plus shipping. To order with a Master
Card or Visa, from the US or Canada call 800-968-9684 24 hours a
day. From anywhere else, or for technical support, call
616-245-8376. To fax your order, use the order form at the end of
this document and fax it to 616-245-3204. For overseas orders, see
the ORDER.FRM file for a list of authorized MVP representatives.
Starting Literati
_________________
There are two ways you can start playing Literati. The recommended
method is to stop reading this documentation and start up the game
and figure it out by trial and error. For those of you who prefer
to read about a game before playing it, I will try to describe
everything that happens in detail.
Start up the game by typing LITLITE or LITPLUS from the File|Run
menu of Program Manager or File Manager.
After pressing return, wait patiently for a moment or two. Literati
is loading the dictionary from disk. This takes a while because it
is a pretty big dictionary.
The Literati board will miraculously appear on the screen, and then
it is immediately hidden by a popup window. There is an important
question in this window. See Figure 1.
It asks "Who wants to play Literati?" What it means is, how many
players are going to play Literati? It is up to you to decide how
many players are going to play. If you want to play solitaire
Literati, select one player. If you want to play against your
younger brother, select 2 players. If you want to play against the
computer, you also select 2 players. If you want to watch the
computer play against itself, select any number of players, but make
them all computer players.
Now you are probably asking yourself "huh? How do I make them all
computer players?" Here is the answer: The next popup window lets
you decide! See Figure 2.
At this point, you can use the mouse or the number keys to change
any player from a human player to a computer player, or vice versa.
For example, Player 1 always starts out as a human player. To make
Player 1 a computer player, press the "1" key or move the mouse
cursor to the Player 1 box and press the left button.
When everything in this box is to your satisfaction, press <Enter>
or click your mouse on the "OK" box.
You are now ready to play Literati.

Playing Literati
________________
To play Literati, you must choose letters from your tray and put
them on the board to make a valid word. There is a cursor that
looks like a little hand on the board. Use the mouse or the arrow
keys to move the hand cursor around. To choose a letter from the
tray, press that letter on the keyboard, or choose the letter with
the mouse. Or you can use the number keys to choose the tile: 1 is
the first tile, 2 is the second letter, etc. If you choose the
blank tile, Literati will prompt you to tell it what letter the
blank tile is supposed to represent.
If you press a letter key that isn't in your rack, and you have a
blank tile in your rack, Literati will assume you want the blank
tile to represent that letter.
You can unselect letters as easily as you selected them.
When you have selected a position and a tile, press <Enter> to put
the tile in the position. Pressing <Enter> without selecting a tile
means you have come to the end of your word.
Note: Pressing the right mouse button behaves the same as pressing
<Enter>.
Alternatively, you can select the tile first, then point to a square
on the board with your mouse cursor and press the left mouse button.
This will put the letter on the board without pressing <Enter>.
After you have put a tile on the board, the hand cursor will try to
move to another convenient spot.
There is more than one way to get letters from the tray to the
board, and I suggest you experiment until you find the method you
are most comfortable with.
Literati Rules
______________
Each player in turn must create one or more words consisting of 2 or
more letters. The first word must intersect the center of the
board, which is the square with the star in it. All other words
must be created so that at least one tile is placed adjacent to a
tile already on the board. All tiles must be placed in a straight
line, either horizontally or vertically, and when added to tiles
already on the board must form one complete word in this direction.
Any perpendicular words formed by adjacent tiles must be complete
and legal words. Blanks may be used as any letter, but once played
their value can not be changed. Blanks are not worth any points.
If you can't make a word, you have the option of exchanging some or
all of your letters. If you choose to do this, you will get no
points for your turn, and play will pass to the next player.
The game is over when all the tiles have been exhausted, and at
least one player has an empty rack, or no more words can be made,
and each player passes his turn. Any tiles remaining in the rack
will be counted against the player. The winner is the player with
the highest score.
Literati will determine the point value for words played and keep
track of the score. A tile on a bonus square will result in a bonus
of two or three times the value of the letter, or two or three times
the value of the word.
Using all 7 tiles in one turn earns a 50 point bonus.
The Computer Player
___________________
You can choose to have one to 4 computer players. If all the
players are computer players, Literati will play the whole game by
itself. After the game is over, you can look at the board or the
stats to see what happened.
The computer player looks at each row and each column on the board
and tries to make a legal move. It scans the entire dictionary once
for each column and each row. It does this as fast as it can. If
the computer player has a blank in the rack, it will take a little
longer to look at each row and column.
Skill Level
___________
The computer player has two skill levels: easy and hard. The easy
skill level player has access to fewer words and makes slightly
faster moves and usually generates lower scores. To change the
skill level, select "F5 - Skill Level" from the main menu. See
figure 3.
---------------------------------------
| |
| Player 1 skill level is hard. |
| |
| |
| |
| ----------- ----------- |
| | | | | |
| | Easy | | Hard | |
| | | | | |
| ----------- ----------- |
| |
| |
---------------------------------------
Figure 3.
Press "Alt-E" for easy, or click on the Easy box with your mouse
cursor for the easy skill level. Press "Alt-H" or click the mouse
on the Hard box for the hard skill level. The default skill level
is hard.
If all the players are computer players, Literati will prompt you
for their skill levels at the beginning of the game. If at least
one player is human, you can change any computer player skill level
at any time during the game.
Undo
____
Literati has an infinite Undo feature. You can undo every turn, all
the way back to the first turn, including turns where you didn't
make a word but you exchanged letters. If you accidently put a
letter in the wrong square, you can use Undo to correct your
mistakes.
If you are playing against the computer, and you select Undo,
Literati will undo 2 or more moves, depending on how many computer
players there are. Otherwise, you would only undo the computer
player's turn and not your own turn. And then the computer player
would take a turn and you would be right back where you were.
Literati Tiles
______________
Select Literati Tiles (F6) to move the tiles around in your rack.
Some people find this helps them think of words. If you have some
tiles on the board when you select Literati Tiles, they will go back
in the rack.
If you want to organize the tiles on the board to try to find words,
go ahead and do that. You can rearrange the letters, then press
"Undo" or "Scramble Tiles" to put them back in the rack. There is
no penalty for experimenting and changing your mind.
The Score Board
_______________
The score board is located in the lower right corner of the board.
The value of the last word made is listed to the right of the player
who made it. The total score of each player is listed on the line
below the player's name.
View Stats
__________
Use the mouse or the function key to select "View Stats" and you
will see game statistics, including what tiles have been played so
far, what words were made, and how many points each turn was worth.
The number of tiles remaining is also displayed. You can view the
stats at any time during your turn without interrupting the progress
of the game. See figure 4.
Notice that blank letters are displayed in upper case. In this
example, Player 1 made the word "dog" using the blank letter to
represent a "g". Since this was the first word of the game, he got
double word points for a total of 10. His opponent then built on
this word using the letters o,n, and e to form the word "gone".
To scroll the list up and down, use the arrow keys or click the
mouse on the "scroll up" and "scroll down" boxes. Press the down
arrow to scroll up, and press the up arrow to scroll down. Press
<Enter> or click the mouse on "Okay" when you are done looking at
the stats.
--------------------------------------

Figure 4.
Saving Games
____________
Use the GAME|SAVE menu option to save a Literati game. Give the
game a name. You can restart the game later by using the GAME|OPEN
menu option.
The Dictionary
______________
The default dictionary contains approximately 15,000 words. When
you make a word, Literati will look in the dictionary to see if your
word is in there. If it doesn't find your word in there, it will
ask you if it is a real word, and if you say it is a real word,
Literati will believe you.
When Literati makes a word, it consults the dictionary and tries to
find a good word to put on the board. The word search algorithm is
very sophisticated, making Literati hard to beat!
Questions and Hints
___________________
Since we have released shareware programs before, I have become
accustomed to the kinds of questions people ask. I have tried to
anticipate some of your questions and answer them here.
Q. Wouldn't it be better to have a really big dictionary?
A. That is a matter of personal preference. A big dictionary will
slow the program down, and it will make the game harder to beat.
Q. My sound card does not work properly with Literati. Why?
A. It sounds like a Windows problem. I suggest you call Microsoft.
Q. Come on! I want technical support.
A. We are happy to provide technical support if you have a problem
with Literati itself, but we cannot help you with Windows problems.
I am very sorry, but we can only offer very limited technical
support on Literati. Windows is too technical and there are too
many things that can go wrong, most of which have nothing to do with
Literati. If you have the "try before you buy" version of Literati,
and it does not work, don't register it! Only send money to MVP if
Literati works on your system. If you registered Literati PLUS with
MVP software, and it doesn't work for you, MVP will refund the
registration amount, less a shipping charge. If you bought Literati
PLUS from somewhere else, you may be able to return it if you can
not make it work on your system.
We have done everything we can to test Literati and make it
compatible with all the various computers, mice, video cards and
sound cards. Honestly, we have tried to make Literati work on as
many computers as possible!
---
Q. Okay, but what if Microsoft releases a new version of Windows?
Are you going to upgrade Literati?
A. That's possible. Currently Literati is designed to run on
Windows version 3.X. If you have a different version of Windows,
try running Literati. If it does not run, contact MVP for upgrade
information. I am not going to promise that we will upgrade
Literati in the future. It depends on how much support we get from
our users, and what other projects we are working on.
---
Q. Does the computer player ever exchange letters?
A. Yes. If Literati can't make a word, it will exchange between 3
and 7 tiles.
---
Q. How does it decide which tiles to exchange?
A. It's random.
---
Q. After I make a turn, that little hand moves around on the board
above and below the word, and to the left and right. What is it
doing?
A. It is calculating cross checks and cross points, in preparation
for the next word. It may seem a little slow, but it actually
speeds up the program.
Q. Sometimes the computer player comes up with a word right away,
and sometimes it takes a long time. Why?
A. There is probably a blank in your computer's rack. If there is
a blank, it takes a little longer to choose a word. Also, as the
board gets fuller, there are more positions to consider, so it takes
longer.
---
Q. Literati thinks "aa" is a word. I never heard of an aa. What
is it?
A. According to my dictionary, aa is rough, cindery lava. Ai is a
three-toed sloth and xu is a monetary unit of Viet Nam. I never
heard of those words before either.
---
Q. But Literati made a word that I can't find in any dictionary!
That's cheating! Why did it do that?
A. Really? You can edit that word out of the Literati PLUS
dictionary, so that's a good reason to register <grin>. Seriously,
not all dictionaries are complete.
---
Q. Does Literati take factors into consideration when choosing a
word other than the point value of the word, such as defensive
strategy, preserving good letters for future moves, and using all
the letters at the end of the game?
A. No. If you want to beat Literati, try using defensive strategy.
---
Q. I made a word that isn't a real word, and Literati challenged me
on it, and when I admitted it wasn't a real word, it put all my
letters back in the rack. Then it gave me another chance to make a
word. Aren't I supposed to lose my turn if I get challenged?
A. Literati knows you didn't really mean to put those tiles where
you put them, and it gives you another chance to put them where you
meant to put them. If you think you deserve to lose your turn for
getting challenged, I suggest you select "F2 - Pass" and voluntarily
give up your turn.
---
Q. I don't like these colors. How can I change them?
A. Use the preferences menu to change the board colors and the
background colors, or press CTRL-A. This feature only works in
Literati PLUS.
Q. Why does this program run so slow?
A. It runs fast enough on my '486! Seriously, when you design a
program like this, you have to make trade-offs. There is a faster
crossword algorithm, which was described in the May 1988 issue of
Communications of the ACM. I chose not to use that algorithm
because it uses too much memory. The algorithm I developed is
slower, but it has advantages: Literati will run in less than 2M,
and it is quite simple to encode and decode the dictionary, thus
making user-installed dictionaries possible.
You can make Literati run faster by selecting the "Easy" skill
level, or by installing a smaller dictionary.
---
Q. I want to call you at home late at night and ask you why
Literati doesn't run on my PS/2 model 30. What is your phone
number?
A. You're kidding, right?
