- PROGRAM INFORMATION
- -------------------
- Glass Bead Challenge is an ORIGINAL game of strategy for one
- or two players. Dominate your opponent without capturing any
- pieces! Multiple computer levels, several board sizes, 16
- and 256-color graphics with digitized sound and music. FUN!
-
- GETTING STARTED
- ---------------
- To install, follow these directions:
-
- 1. Copy the program files to your hard drive, or you
- can install the program from your floppy drive.
-
- 2. Make sure that the file VBRUN300.DLL is either:
- A. In the same place as the program files, -or-
- B. In your Windows SYSTEM directory, where it can be shared
- with any other Visual Basic Application.
-
- 3. From Windows, run the program BEAD.EXE (from Program
- Manager select the "Run..." option from the File menu)
-
- 4. If you want, you can easily create an icon in Program Manager
- by selecting the "New" option from the file menu. The file
- you want to add is "BEAD.EXE"; it is fairly easy to browse
- for it in the New Program dialog.
-
- TIPS
- ----
- If you are in 256 color more or true color:
- Go to the "Options" menu and select one
- of the custom piece sets -- they look
- cooler than the 16-color standard.
-
- If you get a blank board after a "New Game":
- You are probably in a weird video mode.
- Go to your system setup or your video
- card setup and switch to a video mode
- with 16 or 256 colors or true color
- (16million). Hi-color (65,000 colors)
- and other color modes are incompatible.
-
- If you beat the computer too much:
- Let it go first the next game using the
- "Switch Colors" button on the "New Game"
- dialog. For an extra challenge, put
- a handicap in your favor on the "New Game"
- dialog.
-
- If the computer beats you too much:
- Read the "Strategy" section in the help
- file and make sure you move first on
- every game until you get the hang of it.
