- JuggleKrazy 1.0, "Shareware" version.
- Copyright (C) 1995, Solipsys Ltd.
-
- This is a "shareware" version of JuggleKrazy, a juggling
- animation and tutorial programme. Feel free to distribute
- complete, unmodified copies of this "shareware" version of
- JuggleKrazy. You may not decompile, disassemble, or other-
- wise reverse engineer the programme or give away incomplete
- or modified copies of it. Full license/warranty statements
- are given below.
-
- You should have received the following files:
-
- README.TXT - this file
- ORDER.TXT - ordering information
- INSTALL.COM - an installation utility
- JK.EXE - the programme
- JK.HLP - an associated file
- used by the programme.
- *.SS - Siteswap pattern files
- *.LAD - Ladder diagram files
- *.TUT - Tutorial files
-
- To run a tutorial, say, LEARN3.TUT, type:
-
- JK /i LEARN3.TUT
-
- You may, and indeed, probably will, find that the animation
- runs too fast. You can adjust the speed by setting one of
- the DOS environment variables set up for just this purpose.
- Try typing
-
- SET JKDELAYVAL=10
-
- before running the program. Larger values make the program
- run slower, smaller values make it run faster. You can try
- different values by running the program and using F8 to set
- the delay value. Find one that's comfortable, then use the
- DOS environment variable JKDELAYVAL to set the speed for
- the tutorial.
-
- This is all explained in much more detail in the HELP files
- that come with JuggleKrazy.
-
- This version of JuggleKrazy is shareware. "Shareware" is a
- "try-before-you-buy" concept that lets you test a programme
- before you have to pay any money for it. This JuggleKrazy
- version has deliberately been limited so we can let you see
- what it can do, letting you decide whether or not you want
- to buy a copy of the full version. If you are still using
- this version after a month or so then you probably ought to
- buy the full version, not least because you would certainly
- get more out of it.

- ===========================================================
-
- What is JuggleKrazy ??
-
- JuggleKrazy is a computer programme that animates juggling
- patterns. It comes with over sixty patterns, so you can see
- what people mean when they talk about the Fountain, Shower,
- Cascade, Mills Mess, Rubenstein's Revenge, Burke's Barrage,
- Andrew's Alliteration, and so on.
-
- JuggleKrazy can also teach you how to juggle -- the full
- version is supplied with animated tutorials on 3 and 4 ball
- juggling, Mills Mess and the SiteSwap Notation.
-
- But that's not all!
-
- In addition to animating any of the many patterns that come
- with JuggleKrazy, you can also create your own. The twenty
- page manual and nearly 100 pages of on-line, hypertext help
- screens will tell you everything you need to know about the
- different ways of making and changing your own patterns and
- getting the programme to display them. Even more, you can
- get the balls to leave trails behind them, you can speed up
- the animation, or slow it down, even single step it or run
- it backwards. You can increase and decrease gravity. Want
- to know what it's like to juggle 15 balls on the moon? On
- Mars? On Jupiter? Set gravity to any value you like!
-
- Do you have a pattern you want to share with others, but is
- too complicated to describe? Put it into JuggleKrazy and
- send the file to your friends. You can even write your own
- tutorials on your favourite tricks.
-
- Do you want to know what these strange sequences of numbers
- called "SiteSwaps" mean? What about Ladder Diagrams? Let
- JuggleKrazy show you. Do you want to know what that pattern
- would look like if that one particular throw went over the
- top instead of underneath? Let JuggleKrazy do it for you.
-
- JuggleKrazy requires a PC with a 386 (or faster) processor,
- EGA or VGA compatible colour display, 640K of memory, and a
- Microsoft compatible mouse. It can be purchased from good
- juggling shops, direct from Beard Enterprises, or it can be
- bought by mail order from Solipsys Ltd, price 24.99 pounds
- plus one pound postage and packing. (Details correct as at

- payment by cheques or Eurocheques in pounds sterling, while

- of juggling equipment and can also accept payment by credit
- card. Please note further that Beard charges 10% postage
- and packaging on all mail orders. When ordering from Beard
- you may want to telephone first to confirm the price.
