CFBPBK.DAT - The playbook data file.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
Cunning Football (CFB) is a dynamic, interactive, menu driven football
game. It tests both skill and strategy, requiring a user to guide
players as well as call plays. This program requires an IBM
compatible computer and although, CFB was originally designed for use
on systems with EGA graphics adapters, the program will run correctly
with a Hercules compatible, CGA, or VGA graphics adapter. Cunning
Football runs best on systems with 512K or more available RAM, but it
may work with less. CFB allows the user to select either the keypad,
a mouse, or a joystick as the controlling input device.
CFB simulates a real football game as closely as possible. It
includes interceptions, delay of game penalties, and other subtleties
found in football. However, CFB was also designed to be easy to use,
so, some realism was sacrificed for the sake of user friendliness.
Although, CFB has undergone many revisions, there is always room for
improvement. So, registered users are encouraged to send comments and
suggestions to make the game even more entertaining.
After registering your copy of Cunning Football, you will receive an
enhanced version of CFB called All-Pro Cunning Football (APCFB) which
is the TWO PLAYER VERSION. In addition to APCFB, a hardcopy EXTENDED
USER'S MANUAL, and an EXPANDED PLAYBOOK. APCFB will also give you
more statistics to view.
All-Pro Cunning Football allows two people to play against one
another. In APCFB, the two players can "challenge" each other with
both skill and strategy. You'll have much more football fun than you
ever did before!
The EXTENDED MANUAL has detailed diagrams and explanations of all of
the plays. It also has tips on how to execute your plays more
effectively. There is also information on how to start with sound
off, or in various graphics modes, or with the saved game. And
there's much, much, more.
The EXPANDED PLAYBOOK contains many more exciting offensive and
defensive plays to increase your play calling choices. It also
includes fake placekicks, fake punts and onside kicks.
Modifications being considered for future versions:
1. Modifiable team and/or player profiles.
2. User defined plays.
3. Modem support for remote two player games.
4. Any other suggestions to make the game more enjoyable.
Cunning Football is the best interactive football game available,
including any commercial games. CFB is a fun and exciting game
oriented toward those of us football fans who have a relatively good
understanding of the game of football, and really enjoy it.
The user will be the VISITING team and the program will represent the
HOME team. I hope you enjoy Cunning Football. Good Luck.
REMEMBER : You'll get MORE STATISTICS, the TWO PLAYER GAME, the
EXPANDED USER'S GUIDE, and the EXTENDED PLAYBOOK with registration.
2.0 Starting The Game
Before you begin, make sure the files CFB45.EXE and CFBPBK.DAT are in
your current directory. Then, to start Cunning Football, type "CFB45"
at the DOS prompt. To begin play choose "Leave Setup Menu." The rest
is self-explanatory.
3.0 Calling Plays & Other Commands
Almost all interaction with CFB is accomplished through menus. Menu
control is relatively intuitive. Here is a complete description of
menu control:
With a MOUSE:
Changing Highlighted Selection -
Simply move the mouse vertically (up & down) to change the
highlighted selection.
Selecting Highlighted Selection -
Use the Left Mouse Button to select the highlighted choice.
Select the Previous Menu -
Use the Right Mouse Button to exit the current menu and return
to the previous menu. You may also exit the current menu by
selecting "Leave ... Menu" from the menu of choices.
With the KEYPAD:
Changing Highlighted Selection -
Use arrow keys on the keypad to highlight the choice directly
above and below the currently highlighted menu choice.
Selecting Highlighted Selection -
Use the Carriage Return key to select the highlighted choice.
Select the Previous Menu -
Use the "Del" key to exit the current menu and return to the
previous menu. You may also exit the current menu by
selecting "Leave ... Menu" from the menu of choices.
With a JOYSTICK:
Changing Highlighted Selection -
Simply move the stick vertically (up & down) to change the
highlighted selection.
Selecting Highlighted Selection -
Use the Button One to select the highlighted choice.
Select the Previous Menu -
Use the Button Two to exit the current menu and return to the
previous menu. You may also exit the current menu by
selecting "Leave ... Menu" from the menu of choices.
Calling a play is a simple, menu assisted procedure. First, you
choose a category or "Play Group." Then, select the desired play from
the "Play Menu." You may issue other commands by choosing "Special
Calls." Selecting "Special Calls" will allow you to call timeouts,
save or retrieve games, or issue several other useful commands.
3.1 Displaying a Play Diagram
After highlighting a play on a menu, you may display a diagram of the
play to give you information about where you should move, who your
available receivers are, when you should pass, and other important
information. To display a diagram you should:
With a MOUSE:
Press the middle button (or left & right buttons together).
With the KEYPAD:
Press the "Ins" key.
With a JOYSTICK:
Press buttons one and two simultaneously.
4.0 Controlling Player Actions
On Offense, you will control the player with the ball. After the
snap, you will control the QB until you pass or handoff the ball. On
Defense, you will control the Middle/Inside Linebacker. This player
will appear larger and brighter than the other defensive players. You
may use the keypad, a mouse, or a joystick to control your players.
To Move With a MOUSE:
Simply move the mouse to control the movement of your player.
You will continue to move in the same direction until you move
the mouse in another direction. You may also stop by pressing
the Middle Mouse Button (or Left & Right Buttons together).
On Passing Plays:
To PASS the ball, press the Left Mouse Button,
To Highlight the intended receiver, press the Right Mouse
Button.
On Outside Toss Plays:
To TOSS the ball, press the Left Mouse Button.
To Move With the KEYPAD:
Using the keypad, you will be able to control the movement of
your player by pressing the arrow keys around the "5" on the
keypad. You may also move diagonally using the "1", "7", "9",
& "3" keys.
IMPORTANT NOTE : Your player will continue to move in the
direction you choose until another direction is selected.
On Passing Plays:
To PASS the ball, press the "Ins" key on the keypad.
To Highlight the intended receiver, press the "Enter" or
"+" key on the keypad.
On Outside Toss Plays:
To TOSS the ball, press the "Ins" key on the keypad.
To Move With a JOYSTICK:
Simply move the stick to control the movement of your player.
On Passing Plays:
To PASS the ball, press Button One,
To Highlight the intended receiver, press Button Two.
On Outside Toss Plays:
To TOSS the ball, press the Button One.
General Actions with any Device:
On Inside Running Plays:
To HANDOFF the ball, move the QB to the RB. The RB will
take the ball. Then you control the RB.
On Defense:
To TACKLE the ball carrier, move toward the ball carrier.
On Placekicks:
To KICK a Field Goal or P.A.T., do NOT move the holder (QB).
The kicker will automatically attempt a placekick.
On Punts:
To PUNT the ball, press the PASS key. The Punter will then
take several steps and punt the ball.
Once the ball is punted, the defensive players will
automatically attempt to receive the punt. After the
reception, whoever is controlling the defense will be
controlling the punt returner.
NOTE: Punt quickly because the punt needs room to
step up before he kicks.
On Kickoffs:
To KICKOFF the ball, allow the kicker to automatically
kickoff while you play kickoff coverage.
To RECEIVE A KICKOFF -
Similar to punt returns, kickoff returners
automatically receive the kickoffs. After the
kickoff is received, who ever is controlling the
kick return team controls the ball carrier.
5.0 Statistics
On line statistics may be viewed from the "Special Menu" and the
subsequent "Statistics Menu". A file containing game summary
statistics (CFBSTATS.TXT) will be produced at the end of the game or
if the game is saved.
More statistics are produced in the registered version of CFB.
