Version 3.0
Here are some of the new features found in BATTLE FLEET Version 3.0 --
General...
1. The program now requires less disk space than earlier versions - 260,000
bytes as opposed to 350,000 bytes.
2. Previous versions required 3 files on the disk, BATLSHIP.EXE, BATLCOMM.EXE
and BATLCALL.DIR. Version 3.0 requires only 2 files, BATLSHIP.EXE and
BATLCALL.DIR. BATLSHIP.EXE is the main program file and BATLCALL.DIR is
the dialing directory used when playing over a modem.
Your opponents and phone numbers are stored in the BATLCALL.DIR file.
If you created a dialing directory from a previous version of BATTLE
FLEET, you can use the same directory by simply copying BATLCALL.DIR over
to the new program disk.
3. Version 3.0 now uses a pink high-light square for selecting your shots.
Simply use the arrow keys on the keyboard to position the high-light
square and press the space bar. Your shot will then automatically be
entered and made. As in earlier versions, your shot can be called out
with a LETTER/NUMBER combination such as B6.
Playing Against The Computer...
1. Unlike earlier versions, there is no skill level. The program now allows
the computer to think as a human opponent in determining where ships are
located and how they are positioned.
2. The computer will now calculate and call its shots much faster than in
previous versions. (With the sound off, play is almost immediate!)
Playing By Modem...
1. A "CHAT" mode has been added to enable you to type messages to your op-
ponent during play.
2. Two computers can now be linked together through a null modem allowing
BATTLE FLEET(c) to be played in the same room without the use of 2 tele-
phone lines.
Please read the file BATLSHIP.DOC for more detailed explanations on these and
other features of BATTLE FLEET(c) Version 3.0. - Feb. 3, 1991
