Gaps
Copyright 1997, by Thomas Reed
Legalities
This documentation must be included with all copies of Gaps. You may not
give out copies of the game without the documentation.
Shareware Notice
This program is shareware, and if you decide to keep it, please send in a
registration fee of $5. To register, send a check or cash (in U.S. dollars,
if at all possible) to the snail mail address at the end of this file.
Thanks, and I hope you like the game!
System Requirements
This game requires System 7. As far as machines go, as long as your computer
has color Quickdraw, you can play the game. It's a fair bet that if you
don't have color, you don't have color Quickdraw -- with one exception. It
will work on an SE/30 (which is what I had when I first wrote this game!)
The SE/30 is the only B&W machine I know of that has color Quickdraw.
The Game
The game is a very simple one to learn, but a very hard one to win. The
basic objective is to arrange the cards in rows in order from 2 to King,
arranged by suit. You'll find detailed instructions on how to play in the
help file.
High Scores
I keep a high score list on my web page at:

If you can win in 0 shuffles, send me your time and I'll add your name to
the list!
Credits
I'd like to thank my wife, Nevada, for teaching me the game, for initially
play testing it, and for giving me some invaluable suggestions that have
made the game much nicer.
I'd also like to thank Steph and Jim Schwartz for all their help with the
game. They were invaluable in tracking down the last (and worst) bug!
Lastly, I'd like to thank all of my other play testers. Thanks to Jason P.
Chang, Michael D. Galloway, Scott Tooker, Harry A. Reinke, Gary Anderson,
Steve Holden, Mark Eaton, Matthew J. McBride, and Geoffrey David Bourne.
You've all been a great help, and many of you have contributed ideas that
were incorporated into the final version, or will be incorporated in future
versions. Without all of you, this game wouldn't be the same!
