Marble Guess v1.1 (c) Copyright 1993 by Blueview Software. All Rights Reserved. *** SHAREWARE RELEASE *** $15 Registration Price with BONUS program! Introduction... Marble Guess is a board game where the object is to guess the hidden marbles is the least amount of moves. Sound familiar? Its actually based on the classic game of Master Mind. I recently downloaded a rendition of Master Mind and played a few games. The game was fun to play but not very fun to look at, it was text based and no mouse support. I thought I could do a better job by creating my own rendition using the 256 color VGA mode and and adding mouse support. So what you see here is the end result. Instructions... After running the program you will see a metallic colored board on the left side of the screen. If you look closely you will see a blue arrow which points to the current row. This is the row where you place your marbles. You can select a different marble by simply pointing to it. The red arrow indicates the current color. After you have chosen your marbles for the current row press the RIGHT mouse button. Every time a row is completed the computer plots a combination of stars to let you know how well your guess was. A red star indicates that one of your marbles is in the correct spot. A blue marble indicates that your marble is in the wrong spot. You have 15 chances to guess the hidden marbles, after your last chance the computer will reveal the hidden marbles. By selecting the menu you can: Start a new game Quit (will also reveal the hidden marbles) Continue (allow you to go back and continue your game) Exit to dos Requirements... VGA Card Mouse DOS 3.0 or higher Customer Service... If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions, Blueview Software can be contacted by several ways.
