- WoF 3.6 by Matt English 4-15-92
- New function added in the stats to show ALL players stats.
- If the Author of the puzzle plays, he will now get to see
- the progress of his puzzle before Vanna kicks him out.
- After the winner beats the puzzle and enters the new puzzle,
- he will get the option to change his puzzle. (A few people
- misspelled or goofed puzzles and I thought this way they could fix it!)
- The money values have been raised and "Free Spin", "Bankrupt"
- and "Lose Turn" have been added to the wheel.
- Vowels now cost $250 but you need to have at least
- $750 cash to buy any.
-
- WoF 3.7 by Matt English 5-3-92
- There was a small bug with the "Free Spin".
- OOPS!
- It's now fixed!
- Vowels cost $250 and now you can buy one as soon as you have $250!
- No matter how many vowels you get, it only costs you $250!
- This is more like the TV show.
-
- WoF 3.8 by Matt English 6-13-92
- A few more bugs fixxed, hardly worth mentioning
- but they were bugs.... I "think" I got them all!
-
- WoF 3.9 by Matt English 6-19-92
- I fixxed a spelling mistake..Dan Quail will be proud of me.
- Now, the person who solves the puzzle can either enter the
- new puzzle or have the BBS generate a new puzzle. If the puzzle is
- supplied by the BBS, the player will be allowed to play the new
- puzzle AFTER someone else has played.
- The BBS puzzles are in the file "Rexxdoors/Data/WoF.puzzles".
- You can edit the file to add more puzzles if you want.
- Just follow the format: puzzle | clue
- If you have any suggestions or new ideas, give me a call
- at The Alternative BBS. 503-761-3043
- I'm starting to run out of ideas...

-
- FILE SETUP
-
- The file "Wheel_of_Fortune.rexx" belongs in your RexxDoors directory.
- Put all of these files in your RexxDoors/Data directory:
-
- WoF.players
- WoF.winners
- WoF.dat
- WoF.stat
- WoF.Puzzles
-
- After you put these files in their places, the game should take
- off and maintain itself nicely! Since the winner of a puzzle gets
- to enter the next puzzle, you'll want to check the Wof.dat file
- from time to time to make sure somebody didn't screw it up!
- If that happens, just edit the file in this format:
-
- Assuming the puzzle you want to put in is "Jimmy Stewert"
-
- 23 (this is the puzzle number)
- +++++ +++++++ (this is the COVERED puzzle)
- JIMMY STEWERT (the puzzle, use CAPS)
- (letters that have been guessed, starts out empty)
- MATT_ENGLISH 23 (the author of this puzzle and the number of
- the next auto-generated puzzle.)
- JOE BLOW (the last player)
- JIMMY STEWERT (the un-guessed letters left in the puzzle)
-
- The basic rules - you can't play twice in a row, and you can't play if
- you are the one who made the puzzle. You must have more than $250 to
- guess any vowels. It costs $250 to buy vowels, no matter how many
- you find.
-
- The game is very easy, and my users have told me it's quite fun!
- If you find any bugs, have any suggestions, or just wanna chat
- you can contact me as "SYSOP" at:
