Sexyaht Shareware version by JSD Productions. (c) 1994 *********************************************************************** * SexYaht * *********************************************************************** Loading : To start the program, you must type: SEXYAHT [ENTER] on your keyboard, at the dos prompt. This will lead you to the configuration settings for the game. After that point you have just to follow instructions that appears on your monitor. Hardware needs: - A microprocessor with 286 and up. - A VGA or a SVGA display card and a monitor. - DOS version 4.0 and up. - A mouse (optional) - 450k of free memory ************ * The game * ************ What is SexYaht? SexYaht is a simple dice game; the goal is to obtain the highest score possible during a game. The main difference between this game and traditional ones is that with SexYaht you have the possibility to add some libraries of images that you will discover while your games progress. How the checking runs ? Sexyaht has two different and independent kind of checks that run in parallel. The first is the traditional one. In that system of checking you get a global checking for each one of your games. Each box of games have a score; the total of all of the boxes is your global score. This system of checking allows for a challenge in each game you play and give you the opportunity to compare your score to your previous games. The second kind of checking is the more interesting, this one is called "per percentage". First, the game is based on a library system which includes images. Each library includes 11 images, with each image corresponding to a level. There is 10 different levels and a negative image. Each level is decided by percentage, with the image corresponding to the level of visibility. At the beginning of each level, the percentage setting is 0. The goal is to increase that percentage until it equals 100. A score of 100% will let you to see the image very clear without any censorship (limited to the registered version), and then allow you pass to the next level and the current image change. You may see the image anytime but it won't be clear unless your percentage is 100%. How can we modify the percentage? There are many ways to modify the percentage. First, each time you do a "hot shot" it will increment and each time you do a bad shot it will decrement. It can also be changed with traditionnal checking each time you finish a game. For more information about the percentage change see the section about the system of checking. How the library system runs. A library system has been developed to let you change the series of images when you saw all of the images that was on the basis library. In the UN-Registered version, only one library is available.

This is just a dice game. You have to roll 5 dice and to choose a box of checking in the array of checking in which you want to put these dice. When the array, which is made of 13 boxes of checking, is fully filled, the game is finished. The goal is to make the highest possible checking, and to choose the best box to increase your percentage, with the goal of passing to the next level. **************************** * Game : How does it run ? * *************************** Equipment : This game is played with 5 dice and a array of checkings. Goal : Fill all of the boxes in the way of getting the highest checking and percentage possible. Number of turns : As the array of checkings contains 13 boxes, the game has 13 turns. Function : As just seen, the game has 13 turns. At the begin- ning, the dice are rolled for you. Then: - Select a box of checking or - Select one or many dice to be rolled again. Each turn let you to roll 2 times. Then, after the initial roll, there are 3 rolls maximum for each turn. You can select the number of dice that you want for the second and third rolls, the goal is to obtain the best checking for an appropriate box (that you choose). After the selection of a box, (which can be done anytime between the rolls, when you will judge that your dice sequence is correct), the five dice are rolled again for the next turn. Then, you must simply make the best selections and the best roll you can to obtain the highest possible amount of points in the array of checkings. End : A game is finished when all of the 13 boxes have been selected. The main game himself is finished when the 10 available levels are completed. **************************** * Game : Array of checking * **************************** Structure : The array of checkings contains 18 boxes : - Ones - 3 of a kind - Twos - 4 of a kind - Threes - SexYaht - Fours - Full house - Fives - Straight - Sixes - Chance 1 * Sub Total - Chance 2 * Sex Bonus * Total 2 * Total 1 * Grand Total The boxes that are preceded by a '*' are reserved for calculating the points. The other 13 are to be selected during the game. ******************************** * Game : Traditionnal checking * ******************************** ******************************************************************** * PLEASE Note : The order of the dice doesn't have any importance * * 1-2-3-4-5 is equivalent to 2-3-1-5-4 * ******************************************************************** There is the way that we use to find the checking of each box : ******************************************** * Game : Checking, left part of the array. * ******************************************** - Ones, : These six boxes have the same system of checking. Twos, : To calculate the checking of these boxes, we add Threes, : simply all of the dice which correspond to the title Fours, : of the box. For the box 'Ones' the 1 that are present Fives, : in the 5 dice will be additional to the grand total. Sixes. : It is the same thing for the 5 other boxes. Ex : You roll the dice: 3-4-2-3-3 ( In the examples, the series of 5 digits correspond to the values of the 5 dice) If you select the box 'Threes' you would get 9 ( 3+3+3 ) If you select the box 'Fours' you would get 4 ( 4 ) If you select the box 'Twos' you would get 2 ( 2 ) And you would obtain zero for all of the other boxes of that section, because no dice of other kind is present in that sequence. You roll 4-4-4-4-1 , If you choose the box 'Fours', you would get 16 (4+4+4+4) - Sub Total : The total of boxes 'Ones', 'Twos','Threes','Fours','Fives', and 'Sixes' is put in that box. - Sex Bonus : If the total of the box 'Sub Total' is equal or higher than 63, a bonus checking of 40 is added in that box, unless, a checking of 0 is put there. - Total 1 : In that box appears the total of the boxes 'Sub Total' + 'Sex Bonus'. ********************************************* * Game : Checking, right part of the array. * ********************************************* - 3 of a kind : If, in that series of dice, three dice are identical, a checking of 20 is put in that box. Ex: 4-4-4-5-2 gives 20 4-4-3-1-3 gives 0 5-5-3-5-5 gives 20 - 4 of a kind : If, in that series of dice, four dice are identical, a checking of 35 is put in that box. Ex : 3-3-3-4-3 gives 35 2-3-2-2-3 gives 0 1-1-1-1-1 gives 35 - SexYaht : A checking of 60 is written in that box if you obtain a serie of 5 identical dice. Ex : 4-4-4-4-4 gives 60 4-4-4-3-4 gives 0 1-1-1-1-1 gives 60 - Full House : If, in your series of dice, three of them are identical and the two others are equal, a checking of 30 is put in that box. Ex : 3-2-3-3-2 gives 30 3-3-3-3-1 gives 0 4-4-3-3-2 gives 0 3-3-3-3-3 gives 30 - Straight : A checking of 45 will be written in that box if all of your five dice are consecutive; the only valuable series are: 1-2-3-4-5, 2-3-4-5-6. Ex : 1-4-3-2-5 gives 45 2-3-1-4-6 gives 0 6-3-4-2-5 gives 45 - Chance 1 : This box is a box of luck, because we only write - Chance 2 : the sum of the five dice. Ex : 1-3-5-2-3 gives 14 2-3-2-1-4 gives 12 6-5-1-3-2 gives 17 - Total 2 : The sum of boxes '3 of a kind', '4 of a kind', 'Full House', 'S. String', 'B. String', 'SexYaht' and 'Chance' is placed in that box. - Big Total : This is the total of all of the boxes of the array. It is simply 'Total 1' + 'Total 2'. ******************************************* * Game : Checking with the percentages(%) * ******************************************* This is the main attraction of the game which will let you to see the images better to better, and also allow you to pass to a higher level. As you remember, SexYaht has a series of images (10 per library; to obtain other libraries see the order form), it is with that system of checking that it will be possible for you to discover many beautiful images. - Running : At the beginning you have a percentage of 0 and you are at level 1. The percentage is corresponding to the definition of the actual image you can see. If you get 100%, you will see the image at it's normal state, i.e. very clear, but at 0%, you will only see some big rectangles. It is with "hot shot" that will allow your percentage to grow, but when you will do some bad moves it will decrease. When you reach 100% you will pass to the next level. When you reach -100%, you go to the lower level. Also, if you try to see the image when your percentage is negative you won't the image of the level, you'll see the negative image of the library. The more your percentage is lowered the more this image will become clear. The choice of the negative image has been made in function of the subject of the library. This is how the percentages are calculated: *************************** * Game : % with the boxes * *************************** ******************************************************************* * IMPORTANT: All of the values about the percentage are rounded * * if they are not integers. * ******************************************************************* - Ones, Twos, Threes, Fours, Fives, Sixes: Amount of : 0 -> -10 / level dices of 1 -> -5 / level that cate- 4 -> 5 / level gory in the 5 -> 10 / level series Others -> 0 - 3 of a kind: Succeeded -> 2.5 / level Not succeeded -> 0 - 4 of a kind: Succeeded -> 4 / level Not succeeded -> 0 - SexYaht : Succeeded -> 10 / level Not succeeded -> 0 - Full House : Succeeded -> 2.5 / level Not succeeded -> 0 - Straight : Succeeded -> 5 / level Not succeeded -> 0 - Chance 1 : Checking < 16 -> -(16-checking)*2 / level - Chance 2 : Checking > 25 -> (checking-25)*2 / level Others -> 0 ****************************************** * Game : % with the checking of the game * ****************************************** Final traditional checking of the game: 0..179 -> -(180-checking)*0.4 / level 221..395 -> (checking-220)*0.4 / level Others -> 0 Ex : If you have a final checking of 300 and if you are at the level 2, you will obtain : (300-220)*0.4 / 2 = 16 Then your percentage will be increased by 16%. ********************** * Game : Game screen * ********************** Info : The game screen is the screen where you play the game of SexYaht.
