»»» MasterMind Version 1.4 ««« 

(The Long Awaited (?) update)

DATE : 14-Feb-94

Note: You are free to do what you like and copy this game
      and ask large amounts for it.

This is a short note how to play MasterMind.

Start the game from CLI or WorkBench. A new window appears from which
you can choose the colours by clicking on the colour gadgets. These
can be found on the right in the middle of the screen. When you click,
the chosen colour appears on the playfield. Choose 4 colours and click
on Ok. Now black and or white boxes appear and they tell you if
any colour is good (black) or half good (white). Good means right colour on
the right place and half good means right colour only wrong place.

You can Quit or start a New game at any time.
Also you can start or stop the music at any time by clicking on the
Music Off / Music on gadget.
The Undo button can be clicked on while 'thinking' or when you
pressed a wrong colour. The last colour will be deleted. 
If you click All then all the choosen colours dissappear, and
you can start again.

If you want to, you can also choose the 8 Colours gadget. Now 
you can make a choice out of 8 colours (or 6 if you click again!)

There's also music in the game. To be able to hear the song, you have to put
the "octaplayer.library" in your Libs: directory, else the game will not load.
I can imagine you don't like the music so there is a gadget to turn it off.

A new feature is the timer button. With this button you can select the maximum
thinking time between two attempts. If 0, then you may think for ever...
The maximum time you may enter is 99. Click inside the red box and use the
keyboard to enter the numbers. Then press enter when you are satisfied with the
time. If you do not think fast enough, the yellow arrow will jump to the next
line! and a brown cross shows that this attempt is invalid. So be carefull.
It is stupid to choose 1 second! 

If you click on the screen at the top, the screen will "dissappear" to the
back.

I hope the game is bug free, if any bug found, send e-mail to the address 
below.

I must thank Anders Bjerin for the ACM (Amiga C Manual) for the numerous
tips how to program the mighty Amiga!
Another Thanks goes to Eric ter Beek for testing and graphical advice.
                       
Sorry that I ripped things from Kick-Off. I am just worlds biggest fan of
this incredible game!!!

Have Fun!
