WORDCHASE CHANGES ----------------- The following are the fixes and enhancements that Wordchase has gone through from version 1.0 to the present. ######################################################### ENHANCEMENTS FROM 2.0 TO 2.0a 1. DISPLAYING SCORES - In some instances you would receive an "@" sign next to the computers score and word count. This has been fixed. 2. DISPLAYING SCREENS - When running Wordchase under Windows 95 you would sometimes get a screen that was slightly larger then the bitmap it was displaying. This has been fixed. 3. SCORING - During the round you will now be able to track your progress during the round. You will notice the SCORE and WORDS captions will turn white and track your current score and word count. This score is only to show you how many words you've selected, it will change accordingly depending on how many of those words match the computers list of words. 4. SCORING - If you receive a high score you will now be presented with your high score for that round and the computers score for that round. Previously you would receive your high score for the round and the computers score for the game. This was confusing and has been fixed. 5. WINDOWS 95 - We have gotten plenty of feedback about Windows 95 and Wordchase, and so far there have been no problems with the games operation. Wordchase runs under Windows 95 but is still a 16 bit application. 6. GAME - You now have 4 game limits. Instead of only playing to 500 or 1000 points, you can now choose between 100, 300, 500 or 1000 points. ######################################################### ENHANCEMENTS FROM 1.0a TO 2.0 1. SOUND - WordChase now supports your Sound Card. If you don't have a sound card there is limited sound available for your PC Speaker. 2. CHANGING PUZZLES - You can now manipulate the order of the puzzles. You have two options, first is to start over at the beginning. Second is to enter a puzzle number and start at that number. 3. PUZZLE DISPLAY - The current puzzle number being played is displayed in the caption of the floating toolbar. This is to help you identify the puzzles as you're going along. 4. MORE PUZZLES - The registered version now comes with 200 puzzles instead of 100. 5. REGISTRATION MODULE - WordChase now allows you to fill out the registration form within the program. Just enter the necessary information and hit print. 6. CERTIFIED SPELLING OF ALL WORDS - We now run the puzzles and dictionary against a database for correct spelling. All words the computer produces are guaranteed to be correctly spelled. 7. WINDOWS 95 COMPATIBLE - WordChase has been tested under "Windows 95" and will easily migrate to this new operating system when it becomes available. ######################################################### ENHANCEMENTS FROM 1.0 TO 1.0A 1. WCHASE.INI - WordChase now has its own .INI file and no longer uses the win.ini file to store it's info in. The program will also check your win.ini file for version 1.0 information and delete it if found. 2. ACCEPTING WORDS - WordChase now allows you to accept a word by clicking the "Right Mouse Button", as well as clicking the Left mouse button on the ACCEPT button. This feature speeds up the game tremendously, and is quite handy. 3. 3 MINUTE GAME - WordChase now has a option for a three minute game, version 1.0 only had 5, 7 & 10 minute game options. #########################################################
