ABOUT THE HIGH SCORE FILE:
[I don't think this applies on the Amiga... yet!]
Mosaic keeps a list of high scores in a simple text file; all
users need to have read/write access to this file. You should take
care not to put the high score file in a place some users will not
have read/write access to.
After installing mosaic, you may want to double check that other
users can get at the high score file by having them play a game and
ensuring that their scores appear in the high score file.
This new version allows you to enter your name into the high score
table. (SO)
This new version reports 'yield' statistics to tell you how
well you are fairing, 1% is damn hard to get (bad), 100% is
technicaly impossible. My personal best is 48% (almost 17,000
points !!)
MANUAL PAGE:
Most of it does not apply to the Amiga version...
AUTHOR:
Mosaic was written by Kirk Johnson <tuna@athena.mit.edu>. It is
based on Joshua Klayman's PC/MS-DOS shareware game of the same
name. This version is a complete rewrite encompasing only the
basic functionality of the original.
X version ported to the Amiga by Loren J. Rittle.
