KLONDIKE: A Card Game Built for One
By John Everett (Based on the David Addison ABasiC Version)
-------------------------------------------------------------
(NOTE: On single-drive systems, on starting this program you will be
asked to put Workbench in the drive. Though you will hear the games sounds,
you will not see the game screen until you simultaneously press the LEFT-
AMIGA and M keys. The LEFT-AMIGA key is the key at the left of the space
bar.)
This is version 2.3 of Klondike, a solitaire game originally written in
ABasiC by David Addison. Though this is based on his version, there have
been so many rewrites, revisions and enhancements, little if any of the
original code remains. However, this probably wouldn't be here if it
weren't for that starting point.
The files in the the cards directory are the image definitions for the
fronts and backs of several possible decks of cards. They may be loaded,
edited, and saved from within the game. The card file AMIGA is the only one
that is absolutely necessary for the game to run. It's is the default deck
used at startup. The game will look for this file in a subdirectory called
CARDS or in the same directory as the game.
When loading and saving decks of cards, the ARP file requester will be
used if the arp.library can be found. If not, a simple string gadget will be
presented where a path/filename can be entered.
Please send all bug reports, comments, new card designs, etc. to me at
the following address: John Everett, 321 Hodges, Memphis, TN 38111.
