KLONDIKE DELUXE AGA III DOCUMENTATION V3.0
1.GAMEPLAY
----------
For you who don't know how to play Klondike don't panic, I'll
explain this in the following text.
In the initial setup of Klondike there are seven rows in the
upper part of the screen. In the first row lies one card, in the
second two and so on, until in the last row there are seven. You
can only see the front side of the first cards in one row.
In the stock, which is in the lower left corner of the screen,
are the rest of the cards. Now you can put a card of one colour,
on the other colour, but these cards must follow up each other.
e.g. You can put a red three, on a black four (types of cards
are not very important at this point). You can get cards to do this
from another row or the stock in the lower left corner of the screen.
If you can't change anything in the upper part of the screen, you
must click on the stock to rotate the cards in the stock and you
get a new card on top of the stock (remember: in the very easy level
the stock turns with one card and in the other two levels with
three cards).
On the four ace places in the lower right part of the screen you
can put the aces, followed by a two, three and so on. This must be
the same type of card. e.g. spades.
If you have a king you can put it on an empty place in the upper
screen. You can only do this with a king !!!!!
If you played it right all cards of one kind lie on top of each other
from ace to king. If everything went right only the four
ace places are filled with all the cards and the rest of the
screen is empty.
2.INSTALLER
-----------
With the installer you can put this game on your hard drive.
The installer makes automatically a directory called Reko-Productions.
Just click the icon and the official commodore installer
does its work.
3.PREFSFILE.
------------
In this file you can put the initial settings of the game.
You can do this by editing a small text file called REKO.PREFS .
In this file are the following lines :
#R=P Resolution: P=PAL V=Multiscan D=DoublePal S=Super72
#W=1 Workbench: 0=Off 1=On
#M=1 Music: 0=Off 1=On
#L=C Level: A=Easy B=Normal C=Hard
#C=0 Cardset: 0 to 9 at startup
#- This are the first 10 cardsets
#1=cards/Default.REKO
#2=cards/Standard.REKO
#3=cards/16C-C64.REKO
#4=cards/Default.REKO
#5=cards/Default.REKO
#6=cards/Default.REKO
#7=cards/Default.REKO

#T^=music/Default.MUSX
#T&=music/Default.MUSX
#T*=music/Default.MUSX
#T(=music/Default.MUSX
#T)=music/Default.MUSX
#.
You can edit this prefsfile with a simple edit tool. e.g. ed .
If you want to change something just take the right letter.
e.g. If you want doublepal, just type in first line : #R=D
This also applies for the other lines. In the lines : #1= / #9=,
you can choose which cardsets you can pick in the game.
4.PREFCARDS
Starting with version 3.0 of Klondike Deluxe, you are always
able to change the settings during gameplay by pressing the
buttons on the prefcards with your mousepointer. When your
cardset contains prefcards, these will be used, otherwise a set

Level A : the stock turns 1 card at a time. And you can move part
of a row.
Level B : the stock turns 3 cards at a time. And you can move part
of a row.
Level C : the stock turns 3 cards at a time. And you can't move
part of a row.
To move cards you first must select a card by clicking on the left
mousebutton and then you must click on the destination card with
the left mouse button.
Some little things:
- You can move cards automatically to the ace places by double
clicking on the left mouse button.
- You can deselect a card with the right mouse button.
- If you make a wrong card move the source card will be deselected.
- You only get the bonus if you play it in level C.
- Wrong choises cause a 'Screenflash'.
- Don't choose a resolution which isn't mounted. The program
will try to go to PAL or else it will terminate.
- It is possible to choose a lower level while playing. If you choose
a higher level the game restarts.
10.SHAREWARE?
After distribution of Klondike II we (Hurray!) received more letters and
cardsets from people all around the World. So, our disappointment at the
lack of reactions is, we're happy to say, gone.
Still, we decided to keep Klondike III SHAREWARE.
This has a very simple reason:
All our registered users can order cardsets from us at an incredible
budget-price of NLG 1,50 (that's USD 0,90) a cardset. This price
includes floppy's, a special envelope and stamps. Of course there is a
minimal amount of cardsets to be ordered at a time (Read the story about
money underneath).
At the moment we ask the people to send us Dutch cash (Available in notes
of NLG ten, twentyfive, fifty and up).
This due to the fact that banks charge us NLG 15,- to cash in a cheque.
Because of this, we already have enough uncashed cheques in our
possession and a negative result on our bank-account (We still send our
users what they asked us for).
Klondike III is again fully functional, because we still hate
pop-up-shareware-requesters and otherwise crippled programs.
This leaves it totally up to you to pay a shareware fee or not.
We won't even threaten about not doing anything anymore, like enhancing
or changing this game, because we enjoy fiddling around with it.
But of course encouragement is appreciated and a little support even
more.
You can register as an authorized Klondike III user by:
- sending a reasonable amount (NLG 20,- and you'll get two cardsets in
return) of money to our address
CASH (preferably Dutch currency) and NO CHEQUES
- sending us a cardset (or more) you made yourself
(It's nice to see cardsets floating around on Aminet, but it's even
nicer to get them in the mail). This time you won't get your disks
back because we see them as some sort of payment.
Registered users will get (at least two)'Newsletters' about Klondike III
(New cardsets available, possible future enhancements, etc.) and the
possibility to order new cardsets from us against very reasonable
prices (Well, probably you've already read this above).
Well, we really hope to hear from you soon.
