- The maths adventure is a very simple game. You the young adventurer
- must try to escape the kings MATHS ADVENTURE. To do this you must pass
- through a series of rooms. You start at room 1 and finish at room 10 (If
- you get that far). The 10 rooms look something like this,
-
- 2 5
- / \ / \
- 1 4 7-8-9-10
- \ / \ /
- 3 6
-
- You start in room 1 and progress towards room 10. Once you have
- completed room 1 succsessfully you can either enter room 2 or 3. From
- there you can only enter room 4. From room 4 you can either enter
- room 5 or 6 etc....
-
- In each room you will presented with a problem. Either by a person
- situated in that room or through something you find, like an inscription on
- a wall etc... If you answer this problem correctly you will be allowed to
- enter the next room.
-
- As you progress from room to room, the problems become more involved
- and much more difficult (Well I tried to make it that way)! Each room
- dosen't contain one problem, there are numerous problems in each
- room and they are randomly picked. So unless you are incredibly stupid
- or you play this game hundreds of times you'll most likely never get the
- same sequence of questions twice.
-
- If you think that an answer to a particular question is wrong, write
- to me with the problem and the answer you think it should be and I will
- look into the matter.
- Also if you are stuck somewhere in this adventure, write to me and
- explain your problem and I will be more than happy to help you out IF I
- think you are genuinely stuck.
-
- GOOD LUCK...

- This program was written using Aztec C v5.0a, whats the latest
- version???
- I originally had another version of this game, but I rushed into it to
- fast and after a few days I saw that it was going to turn out to
- be a real dud. The main screen wasn't designed properly at all. It was a
- eye sore to look at and it played poorly so I decided to scrap that
- version and design a new version. I took my time and thought about it
- carefully, changed various things then changed them again and finally
- came up with what you see now!
-
-
- If there is no source code with this file, write to me and I will
- gladly send it to you. (With all the answers taken out of course).
-
- This is by far my biggest program that I have written. The main
- source code file is almost 1500 lines, which is almost 3 times that
- of any other program I have written. I myself was amazed at the final
- size of the program when it was compiled and all graphics and sound data
- was linked with the main program.
-
- The sounds in this program where taken from public domain sources, and
- the graphics where drawn using deluxe paint.
-
- If you like this game why not right to me a tell me what you think of
- it. As I said above if I get enough feedback, contributions etc I may
- decide to write a sequel to this game.
-
- I am a bit hard pressed to right a more detailed doc file, but I may
- re-write this in the future.
-
- In the meantime...
-
-
- HAPPY PROGRAMMING AND COMPUTING
