INTRODUCTION:
-------------
This program is just a computerized version of the old game everyone has
played a few times in their lives, except this version uses the alien
cartoon characters of Trab and Asil instead of X's and O's. Just to make
sure you know the rules, I will give you a short explanation. The object
of the game is to place either Trab or Asil in one of the spaces and try
to get three of them in a row either horizontal, vertical or diagonal.
HOW TO PLAY:
------------
Player 1's character is Asil and Player 2's character is Trab. To place a
character into a space on the board you just click on the box that you want
it placed in. If you are using the keyboard then please see later section
entitled USING KEYBOARD.
If you get tired of the current game you are playing then you should click
on the command RESTART on the Options menu bar and you will be asked if you
would like to start over, click on YES or NO. Choosing YES will reset the
number of won games and start over.
In the lower left part of your screen you will see another form with the
current players character and score. The top one tells you whose turn it
is, the bottom one tells how many games each player has won. This form will
always stay on top of all other Windows programs until it is closed.
USING KEYBOARD:
---------------
Here is the keys used for keyboard operation (NUM-LOCK MUST BE ON):
ex. 7 is upper-left, 3 is lower-right...
|---|---|---|
| 7 | 8 | 9 |
|---|---|---|
| 4 | 5 | 6 |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2 | 3 |
|---|---|---|
RESIZING ALIENTIC:
-----------------
You can resize the main form to a size you like the same way you do a
normal window like Program Manager. The characters will resize to fill the
form and look great at large sizes.
COMMANDS:
---------
The menu command ABOUT just gives you a little information about the
program.
If you wish to reset the scores and start over then click on the menu
command named RESTART and you will be asked to confirm this action. If you
answer Yes then the scores will be reset and a new game will begin.
Selecting EXIT from the menu will pop-up a small window asking if you are
sure you wish to quit.
If the score and player form ever hides from you then click the menu
command called INFORMATION and it will be restored to normal operations.
CLOSING:
--------
If you use this program and like it a little bit or have some comments or
problems then either send me a letter with your name, address and phone
number or call me at my home number which is listed at the closing of this
document and from then on you will be informed of new versions and new
programs.
