Product: Order Out Of Chaos (a.k.a. OOOC)
Version: 1.12C (January 1996)
Copyright: (C) 1994, 1996 by Pinnacle Software
Author: Timothy Campbell (Pinnacle Software)
Hardware: PC-Compatibles
DOS: Windows 3.1 or higher
Disk space: 2.5 Meg
Video: VGA with color monitor
Other Needs: Requires VBRUN300.DLL
Keywords: WINDOWS, GAME, PUZZLE, FAMILY, PHILOSOPHY, CHOPIN
Description: Good clean family fun. Colorful, challenging, and non-violent,
with 45 minutes of music by Chopin. Nominated for "Shareware
Puzzle Game of the Year" by Computer Gaming World magazine.
Requires Windows and VBRUN300.DLL. 16-color mode supported.
Details: "Order Out Of Chaos" shows the player a picture which has been
broken up into 48 tiles and then mixed up. With the picture in
this chaotic state, two random tiles switch places every half
second. The player tries to restore the picture to an orderly
state by clicking on a tile whenever it appears at or near the
spot where it belongs.
A game consists of ten such puzzles. The first time a game is
tried, the player will take about 10 minutes to solve each
puzzle, for a total of two hours of play. In subsequent attempts,
the player will improve his or her time and make fewer errors,
resulting in a higher score.
OOOC is a pleasant diversion, but it also has depth of meaning.
Underlying the game is a philosophical question, posed in a
visual way by the 100 puzzles of the complete set.
Interesting statistic: 90% of our orders for this game come
from women. Perhaps they prefer putting things together instead
of blowing them apart, or maybe mothers appreciate the non-
violent nature of the game.
Limitations: None -- fully functional shareware
Registration: Other puzzle sets can be ordered (see Orders menu in OOOC)
Payment via: CompuServe, Credit Card, Cheque, Money order
Source Code: Visual Basic (Source code not for sale)
This update: Version 1.12 addresses an obscure bug that sometimes afflicted
people who started playing the puzzle before it was completely
drawn.
