- Since you've already unzipped BATTLE.ZIP, here's how you install the rest
- and play Battleships. Create a directory on your hard drive for the game,
- such as BATTLE. Go to that directory and unzip the INSTALL.ZIP file using the
- "-d" flag like so:
-
- pkunzip -d install.zip
-
- This will install the program files in the BATTLE directory (or what ever
- you named it) and create a SOUND subdirectory with sound setup files.
-
- Next, you need to set up the sound files before you can play the game. To do
- so, change to the SOUND directory and type:
-
- setm
-
- and follow the instructions for selecting your sound card. Then type:
-
- setd
-
- and do the same. Now you need to copy the drivers to the BATTLE directory:
-
- copy soundrv.com ..
- copy midpak.* ..
-
- Once you play Battleships to make sure the sound is working correctly, you
- can delete the SOUND subdirectory.
-
- To play Battleships, type:
-
- soundrv (loads the sound effects driver)
- midpak (loads the midi music driver)
- battle (loads the program)

- Hey, coders!
-
- I've included the source for Battleships--grossly uncommented as it may be!
- I took all my libraries from _The Black Art of 3D Game Programming_ by
- Andre Lamothe (He's a cool guy). The libraries wouldn't work with Watcom
- C++, which is what we have, so we ported them over. If you have a Microsoft
- or Borland compiler (or just about any other, for that matter), you'll have
- to change all our assembly code pragmas back to inline assembly (the
- original code should just be commented out(?)). Anyway, for all you Watcom
- dudes, hope it helps you!
