- //------------------------------------------------//
-
-
- The 24 Points game is an ancient chinese educational
- card game. The purpose is to train the player to deal
- with numbers faster. (duh...)
-
- This evaluation copy does not have a full documentation
- so we prepared this README.TXT for you to know how to
- play.
-
- You can only play against the computer in this demo.
- Select One Player or press F2 to start, the computer will
- show four (4) cards in the middle of the window, and it
- will start counting, your goal is to use all four cards
- once and only once with all four basic math operations:
- Plus, Minus, Multiply, Divide to get 24. The Ace cards are
- counted as 1, Jack as 11, Queen as 12 and King as 13. Suits
- are not important.
-
- For example, if the cards are: 3, 5, 7, Jack which are:
- 3, 5, 7, 11, one solution will be: (11-5)=6; (7-3)=4; and
- 4*6=24.
-
- If you find a solution before the timer reaches a preset
- limit which you can change in Timer Setup (F5), press any
- key or click the right mouse button to input the solution.
- You will have only one chance to input your solution and
- you will also have a timer which you can change in Timer
- Setup (F5). If you are correct, all four cards goes to you
- and then you start another hand.
-
- If you can not find a solution fast enough, the computer
- will start calculating and present its solution if it find
- one. The computer is always correct and way too fast, (That
- is why we put a computer holding time so human player have
- a chance, what a shame...)
