-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DTQ is written to take advantage of the VGA display standard
with its superior definition, 1:1 aspect ratio and color range.
The entire PLAY screen is used without resort to fancy borders,
confirmation( or otherwise ) messages or score tallies, all of
which tend to distract and prejudice the overall clarity.
DTQ [ Pairs, & two variations ], is very easy to use with its
"Smart-cursor" keeping keypresses to a minimum. The player may
elect to use the whole keyboard, up to 72 alpha and 10
punctuation characters. ALL graphics are very clear. Play is
very slick with NO WAITS to load pictures from disk or
to shuffle "packs". The latter is continuously and infinitely
varied, being chosen from 108 icons, 99 numbers or 72 shade
spots, with mixing virtually instantaneous.
The range of difficulty is designed to be as accessible to all
as possible. The player begins with only 9 pairs, moving on
through 12 and 18 to 36. With various difficulties involved
this covers 11 separate stages. If these are conquered with
or without the "cheat" function, which is conditionally
available, then triplets have to be matched up. The Last 11 of
a total 31 stages involve recalling the position of 4 clones.
Hence the name, Deux, Trois, Quatre.
Some, possibly unique, options present the player with a
variety of strategies; from the simple "Who goes first ?",
to "concealed computer moves" - if you get swamped with
visual intake, to concentrate on your own "memory bank";
also, one can elect to play alternately, whether
successful matches are made or not, or use the traditional
"matchmaker" mode ie you give up your turn only when you
fail to do so.
The player may practise any stage, with extra levels
of difficulty, or resume play automatically, even at
a later session, since progress is recorded on disk. One
is not obliged to start from scratch; the option to do
so and reset the score file is provided, however.
Simply matching numbers may prove very challenging;
using shade spots also, as many of these are quite
similar. Perhaps their ease of identification would be
useful as a criterion of monitor quality. The "icon-view"
function provided may prove helpful here.
This game is especially playable for Touch Typists, or
useful in the development of a secure technique.
