- SoftNet Thinker is a fun, simple game which challenges you to
- achieve the highest monthly score possible. This game is similar
- to the game of "Concentration" as seen on television.
-
- The object of the game is to be the highest scoring player at
- the end of the month. This is accomplished by matching pairs of
- cards on a 4 X 13-card grid.
-
- You will start with 0 points at the beginning of each month.
- When you enter the game, the game board is drawn on your screen.
- The game board consists of header information, and a 4 X 13 grid
- which holds 52 playing cards.
-
- To begin a game, select <P>lay. A 52-card deck is then
- shuffled and dealt. You will also notice some information in the
- upper-right corner of your screen, such as Maximum Misses and
- your Miss Count.
-
- The object of game play is to select pairs of matching cards
- until the game board is cleared. Once selected, each card is
- turned face-up. If the two cards you select match, you gain 100
- points and the cards are cleared from the board. If you manage to
- clear the entire board, you will be awarded a bonus of 5,000 points.
-
- To select cards, make sure that your NUM LOCK is turned on.
- Then, using the numeric keypad, move the cursor left, right, up or
- down until the cursor is directly above the card you wish to select.
- Then press <ENTER> to select that card.
-
- Each time you select two cards that do NOT match, your Miss
- Count is incremented by 1. You may accumulate a maximum of 5
- consecutive misses before the game is ended. Each time you select
- a matching pair of cards, your Miss Count is reset to 0.
-
- At the end of each month, play is ended and the top-three
- scorers for the month are displayed to players during the
- following month. The player file is removed and the game starts
- over.
