-
- Click-It Version 1.00
- ========================================================================
-
- INTRODUCTION
- ------------
- This package contains a full unrestricted version of Click-It, a graphic
- game by Harvera Associates. Also included are several sample-sized game
- files which show the range of entertainment and educational
- possibilities for the game.
-
-
- REQUIREMENTS
- ------------
- To run Click-It you need a 286 (or better) system using MS-DOS version
- 3.0 or higher. You must have a VGA monitor and a mouse. A hard disk
- with at least 1 MB available is recommended. Newer systems obviously
- give better performance.
-
-
- INSTALLATION
- ------------
- This procedure is only used when installing from floppy to hard drive.
- If Click-It has been downloaded directly to your hard drive or has been
- manually installed, ignore this section...
-
- The installation procedure for Click-It is fairly simple. An INSTALL
- file is provided which automates the process for most users. To use
- this file...
-
- 1. Insert the Click-It diskette into a diskette drive and enter the
- drive letter (normally "A:").
-
- 2. Enter a command similar to...
-
- INSTALL A: C: CLICKIT where...
- =====================
-
- "A:" is the diskette drive FROM which you will install Click-It.
- This can be changed if your diskette drive letter is different.
-
- "C:" is the hard drive TO which Click-It is to be installed. This
- can be changed if your hard disk drive letter is different.
-
- "CLICKIT" is the directory name in which Click-It will be
- installed. This can be changed to a name of your choice if
- desired.
-
- The most common situation is a system where the diskette drive is A:,
- the hard disk is C: and it is OK to create a directory named CLICKIT to
- install this package. In this case, all you need to do is enter exactly
- as shown above. Contact us as shown below if your situation is
- different and you need help.
-
-

- ========================================================================
- GAME OVERVIEW
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Each game will have one or more play screens. The screens have either
- one or four levels, depending on the game being played. Each level
- contains a clue list describing items found in that screen's picture.
-
- Five clues will be selected at random from the clue list for each level.
-
- The object of the game is to respond quickly to selected clues by moving
- the mouse cursor to an appropriate section of the picture and clicking.
- A correct response is given when the object diretly under the cross
- hairs of the magnifying glass shaped cursor match the given clue and the
- left mouse button is clicked.
-
- Colored blocks drop down the right side of the screen to show the time
- available for each clue. As the game progresses, less time is available.
-
- While quicker correct responses are rewarded with higher scores, bad
- clicks cut scoring opportunities by a third. Three bad clicks and a
- scoring opportunity is missed. A game starts with three misses allowed.
- Misses allowed are represented by pins in the lower right corner of the
- play screen. A new pin is rewarded after each screen past the third one
- is completed. The game is declared over if all of the pins are lost.
-
- An automatic speed control slows the game down when scoring opportunites
- are missed or when the colored timing block is allowed to drop too far.
- The speed control will shift back up when it senses it is ok to do so.
-
- A handy feature for beginners is the Computer Aided Movement. When
- selected, the CAM will direct the cursor toward the nearest spot it
- senses as good. The CAM may be turned on or off during the game. A
- penalty is enforced on clues that come up when the CAM is on. This
- penalty and the fact that the player must wait for the CAM to move keeps
- scores low when the it is used. CAM is best left off unless needed.
-
- It can be seen that scoring is based on speed and skill. Guages on the
- play screen show how well a player is doing in these areas. Keep in
- mind that two players may have the same speed and skill and yet end up
- with different scores! Each scoring opportunity counts - it may be the
- last clue on the last screen that puts a player on the high scores board.
-
- The score of any completed game having had less than the full length of
- ten screens or having just one level of clues per screen will be adjusted
- to allow score comparisons with other games.
-
-
-
- ========================================================================
- HOW TO PLAY
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
- To play Click-It, log into the drive and directory where the game is
- installed, then enter CLICKIT. The program will quickly scan the
- directory for game files and then show the game descriptions on a
- scrollable list. Clicking on the scroll bar or arrows changes the
- selected game. Clicking on a game description will select that game.
-
- Sound and CAM option buttons are available both on the main screen as
- well as during game play...
-
- 'Sound' turns the sound effects Off/On.
-
- 'CAM' turns the Computer Aided Movement Off/On.
- The CAM is described in 'Game Overview'.
-
- Other buttons available on the main screen are;
-
- 'Play' starts game play using the currently selected game file.
-
- 'Scores' accesses three high score boards...
- Top ten scores achieved in that game session.
- Top ten scores for the currently selected game.
- Top ten all time scores - all games.
- Boards may be individually reset using the 'Clear' button.
-
- 'Info...' will bring up information on the currently selected game
- file.
-
- 'Exit' will close the game.
