Blockheads! (c) By SHARKware.
Instruction Documentation
*****************************************************************************
BH INSTALL
To install Blockheads!. It will make a BH.BAT file, that you can rename. LAN
users might have to alter this file. To run Blockheads! on your BBS please
refer to the command line parameters listed below. Or have your BBS call the
BH.BAT file.
BH
To run Blockheads! Locally.
BH REG
To Register Blockheads! simply fille out the REGISTER.DOC form, and when
you recieve your codes. You may run this game as long as feel necessary to
evaluate the game. Until you register you can only play until the 15th grid
before the game resets you.
BH PURGE=#
Blockheads! purges players after 30 days if they haven't played. You can
alter this, where # is a number between 1 and 365, the number of days you
wish to purge the player data file.
BH RESET
This will keep the current player list, but reset EVERYONE to level 1, grid
1, and erase their scores.
BH MAX
This uses a maximum moves counter for really competitive scoring.
BH EDIT
THis allows the sysop to RESET or DELETE single players.
The game is simple to learn, just move the blocks Up and Down or Left and
Right, to clear a way for the Red Block to slide out of the grid. The screen
will tell you which blocks may move up/down and left/right. A block can move
only one set of ways, not both sets. The Red Block may move left/right ONLY!
You might not have to move every block on the grid.
The FUNCTION keys have sysop commands.
