-
- Welcome to Cadenza Software. Cadenza Software is dedicated to only writing
- Atari (TOS compatible) software that is both powerful while being easy to
- use. Cadenza Software applications and accessories released on and before
- the 1st November 1996 are deemed FREEWARE. This means the copyright is
- kept by Matthew Bacon and Cadenza Software. PD libraries and Atari users
- may distribute Cadenza Software on the condition that NO files are omitted
- or altered in any way!
-
- All Cadenza Software products are written and produced using HiSoft Basic
- v2.10 (in my opinion the very best BASIC on any home computer) and Wercs
- within a MagiC 5 environment on a 4mb Atari STe with a Hi-Res monitor.
-
- I wish to stress that, while Cadenza Software applications should work in
- exactly the same way regardless of resolution, number of colours on
- screen, Atari compatible computer (obviously all set-ups cannot be tested!).
-
- I hope that Cadenza Software is able to serve you for many years to come.
- If you have any questions, suggestions/criticisms (constructive as
- possible) or ideas, then please do contact me, and I will see what I can
- do... but no promises as I do not have much time outside of my degree.
-
- All the best.

- Welcome to tictactoe. This program was designed as an alternative to playing
- 'noughts & crosses' and wasting all those pieces of paper. Because tictactoe
- is GEM compatible (and full multitasking compatible) you can play a game in the
- middle of writing a letter in Papyrus for instance.

-
- · Discussion of functions available
- It is a simple affair really. On the title screen click anywhere on it. The
- playing board will then appear. It is first a good idea to choose your
- opponant. You can play against a friend (he/she will not be one for long
- though!!!) or the computer (it lets you win occasionally - honest!). The
- other icons represent, 'Start a new game' and 'Quit'.
-
- Just click on the square you wish to start and the game begins. When playing
- against the computer, you are given the choice to go first or let the
- computer do so. That's it really.
-
- You do not have to keep hitting the 'Start a new game' icon everytime you
- wish to start a new game (unless you are in the middle of a game), simply
- click on the square where you wish to start the game and begin. In the
- registered version the limit of only 5 games is removed and you can play for
- hours, or even days if you wish!!!!! A point to remember is that the player
- that goes first, always becomes crosses.

-
- Below I have listed the some of the reasons why I think YOU should register as
- a user of tictactoe...
- - Because you will gain a Desk Accessory version as well as lifting the
- limit of three/five games (demo restriction). In order to recieve these
- registered versions a self address envelope, stamp & disk need to be
- provided!!
- - Because it's free!, FREE!, YES FREE!!
- - Because it will encourage me to produce an update and further software for
- the Atari community!
- - If you supply a disk when contacting me by letter, I will copy all the latest
- Cadenza Software onto it! (including source code of certain applications!).
- - If you supply an E-Mail address, I will contact you to inform you of future
- updates and products by Cadenza Software (your E-Mail address will not be
- given to any commercial companies!).
- - Because it will give you a voice about what YOU want and not what I think you
- want! (this can be about Cadenza Software past/present and future).
- - Because it will give you a warm glow inside! (this has not been scientifically
- proven as yet).
- - Because I want to know what's good AND bad about Cadenza Software!!
- - Why not?!
