- Hello, And thank you for downloading my Santa game, It is the second game I have
- written for the Palm Pilot or Win CE and I hope you like it.
-
- To run the game you must have the Waba engine installed , This is included in this Zip.
- Simply install the files as you would any other palm pilot application.
- Then install the santa.pdb and santa.prc files
-
- The game is one I wrote especially for Christmas. In the game Santa has broken his leg so
- he can't ride his sleigh anymore.You play the part of His Elves who have been drafted in
- to help deliver the presents.
-
- To start the game push the 'Start Game' button on the main title screen.
- If you have previously completed any years (levels) a selection box will appear on the title screen to let you jump
- straight past the Years.
-
- To fly the sleigh within the game, Use the Up and Down keys on the palm pilot to steer. You must avoid all the Roof tops,
- Chimneys and any Robin's that might appear. While you are steering the sleigh you must drop as many presents down the
- chimneys as you can. To drop a present tap anywhere on the screen. You need to aim to get the present down the chimney top.
-
- For Every Year you have to get a number of direct hits, The number of presents you have to get down the chimney is
- displayed at the top of the screen by the house icon. This increases in later years.
-
- **Beware** Every year only has 20 houses available to deliver presents to. At the top of the screen is also displayed
- the current Year you are playing on, and the number of elves (lives) left to help deliver presents.
-
- Game Features are
-
- * Lots of Levels
- * Christmas Tunes
- * Animated Graphics
- * Smooth scrolling
- * Level saving so you don't have to repeat any level again.
-
- The program is written using Waba which is a Programming platform for the Palm
- Pilots and Windows CE Machines based on java, The advantage with Waba is that
- the same software can be run on the above machines without modification and
- also be run on the Internet as a Java applet, As you can see on my web site and
- many others.
-
- More WABA details and downloads are available at www.wabasoft.com or from the
- link on my web site.
-
- If any one would like the source code(Not very well commented I'm afraid)
- or has any problems with my game please let me know.
-
- Thanks
-
- Paul Ellams.
-
- PS. Don't forget the game is Postcard Ware so if you like it please send me
- a postcard ( Or a Christmas card if it is nearly Christmas )
