The Game "Leonardo - The Venetian Conspiracy" is an interactive graphic adventure game for Windows with high definition graphics in the renaissance style. It supports multitasking and may be played either in a window mode or in full-screen mode. The plot of this adventure game is fictional, but the historical dates and individuals are authentics.


The Multimedia-Program Leonardo´s Life and Work

informs about the life, the work and the time of Leonardo da Vinci. The concept of this software is entertainment and learning at the same time.
- Leonardo, a biography	- Leonardo, the artist
- Florence	- Leonardo, the inventor
- The Renaissance	- Leonardo, the explorer


Florence at the beginning of the 16th century. Venetian conspirators steal Leonardo da Vincis plan of a Perpetuum Mobile. A catastrophe is menacing, since this plan gives tremendous power to the enemies of Florence. The plan must be retrieved under all circumstances.

Put yourself in the role of Salai, Leonardos apprentice, and find the plan for the Perpetuum Mobile together with him. Solve many critical situations in strange landscapes, cellars, churches, monasteries and caverns. Find the way over the roaring river, make speechless speak, and deceive those, who are illdisposed towards you.

Solve this challenge. Or just enjoy the wonderful scenes and graphics

as well as the beautifully illustrated introduction of Leonardos Life and Work.


Driver Installation
	Driver Installation Installation of the graphic driver

Though the Leonardo-Screensaver is able to work with a 16 color graphic driver, the graphic resolution and therefor the graphical appearance will be achieved by using a 256 color graphic driver.

But remember: More than 256 colors will slow your system down!


Salai

Gian Giacomo de Caprotti, which was his real name, came to Leonardo at the age of ten in 1490. He should have stayed with his master for 25 years. He worked as a servant in the workshop and managed his household. He was not skilled in painting. He was a thief and a liar, and he was stubborn. But Leonardo felt sorry about him, and he did not want to throw him out. He called him Salai, which means little devil.


Perpetuum Mobile

The Perpetuum Mobile (Latin: constant mobile) is an engine, that produces constant energy without an external energy input. The first axiom of thermodynamic says however, that such an engine is physically unpossible.

Nevertheless the Perpetuum Mobile was searched for ages, in vain.


Setup program

The Leonardo-Screensaver must be copied into the Windows-directory and configured by the Windows Control Panel. The added program setup.exe does all this automatically. Just follow these few simple steps:

2.	Insert the data medium, which contains the Leonardo-Screensaver files (disk or CD-ROM), into the corresponding drive.

3.	Start Windows.

4.	Select the command Execute of the menu File at the Program Manager.

5.	Enter the command line a:\setup.exe (if your drive is A) at the dialog Execute and select OK.

6.	Now the Leonardo Setup-Program starts running. The screensaver will be installed on your hard drive. During that a dialog box will be displayed, where you can see the copied files and the actual state of installation.

7.	After having copied the files a window appears, which allows you to select a time (in minutes), after which the screensaver can be started. In addition you can configure or test the screensaver. Thereafter you can close the window by clicking OK.
