                             INTRODUCTION

MatchMe is a multimedia ShareWare matching game for Windows 3.x and Win95.  
MatchMe uses BMP image, WAV sound, FLI or FLC (flic) animation, and AAS 
script files.  You can use MatchMe as is, or supply your own files to 
customize it.  You need at least 32K colors on your desktop or the BMP 
images that come with MatchMe are going to look pretty weird.  You also 
need a SoundBlaster 16 or compatible sound card to hear the WAV files.

                          CUSTOMIZING MatchMe

Customizing MatchMe is fun and pretty easy if you can use a text editor
like NotePad.  All the program information is in the file MATCHME.INI.
This file, like most INI files, is organized into sections.  Open 
MATCHME.INI in your favorite text editor program and find the [Images] 
section heading.  Below it you'll see entries for the (maximum of 99)
BMP image files that MatchMe can display:

[Images]
BMP01=bmp\knot1.bmp
BMP02=bmp\bball4.bmp
...

MatchMe requires a minimum of 36 entries in this section (i.e., BMP01, 
BMP02, ..., BMP36).  Up to 63 additional entries may be added (i.e., 
BMP37, BMP38, ..., BMP99) Any or all of the entries can be changed.  
To change the first entry simply replace "knot1.bmp" with the filename of 
the BMP image you'd like to add to MatchMe.  Make sure you don't change the 
"BMP01=" part, though, or remove any of the first 36 entries or MatchMe 
will complain.  If your image file happens to be in a subdirectory other 
than matchme\bmp, just include the path.  Every time you start (or restart)
MatchMe, it will select a new set of images at random from the total number
of images available.

Similarly, in the [Animation] section, you'll find entries for all the 
flic or script files which correspond to each of the BMP images.  For 
example, the entry ANIM01 points to the flic or script which plays when 
you have a match for the image pointed to by BMP01.  ANIM02 plays when
you match BMP02, etc.  To change the animation, just replace the filename 
with the flic or script file you want to add.  Easy, huh?  If you don't 
know what an AAS script is, visit our Web page (see below) and download one 
of the screen savers.  Play with it some and you'll be cranking out first 
rate scripts in no time.  You'll also have some more animation to add to 
MatchMe.

Now that you're an expert the rest of this will be a piece of cake.
As you've probably guessed, all the other sections can be changed the 
same way.  The [Yupsounds] section contains entries for all the
WAV sound files that play when you have a match. Just like the [Animation] 
and [Images] sections, you can have up to 99 different sounds.  Cool!  So 
for a new sound number 2, COOL.WAV in the WAV subdirectory, add the entry:  
YUP02=wav\cool.wav
That's it!

The [Nopesounds] section contains the entries for all the WAV files
that play when you have a mis-match.  This section works exactly like the 
[Yupsounds] section.

The [Other Sounds] section contains three entries.  STARTSOUND is the
WAV file that plays at the beginning of the game.  FINSOUND plays at
the end.  BYESOUND plays at program exit.

The [Cover Tiles] section also has two entries.  NEWTILE is the BMP file
that MatchMe uses for the grid "buttons".  MATCHTILE is used to mark the
grid buttons that have been matched.

Don't worry about the [Settings] section, all these entries can be changed 
from within the MatchMe program.
