- This is the readme file for Gross2.exe, a small text adventure
- game. The files in the archive should be gross2.exe and this file.
- This game is freeware. It may be freely distributed, but not
- sold. It is copyright by me.
-
- This game was originally written for the Atari ST in
- Atari ST Basic (a terrible development environment),
- a long time ago. It was then adapted and expanded
- with Mark Williams C on the ST (a great development
- environment).At first it was an exercise in writing a
- simple text parser in C. When I finally moved to the msdos
- world, I used Quick C and then Turbo C++ to nearly complete it.
- Then OS/2 came along, and I finished it with gcc. It was
- compiled with the -static switch so the runtime .dll is not
- needed.
-
- This is my first attempt at this kind of programming, and likely
- my last. This is version 1.0. I do not have a very clear idea
- about whether the puzzles are too easy or too hard, whether it is
- fun to play or a waste of time. I would very much appreciate
- your comments, suggestions and ideas, as well as reports of bugs.
- (Game testing on this kind of game, where you know all the puzzles,
- is pretty tedious.) I will attempt to fix the bugs where found, and
- if the suggestions are not too tough to implement I will try to
- incorporate them.
-
-
- If you are stuck and would like help, feel free to e-mail
- me. I would be glad to help.
-
- Thanks for your interest and assistance.
