NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR: -----------------------------------------------------
Here is Version 2 of Whahoo. It now looks 100% better and the DRAG RACE
feature makes it playing much more enjoyable. The name and basic concept and
layout of this game was an idea of my Grandfather. I hope you have as mush
fun playing it as I did programming it. If you find any bugs or have any
suggestions, please feel free to send me a line or maybe even some money.
He-he, Ha-ha. Timm Hop
OBJECT: -------------------------------------------------------------------
WHAHOO is a dice and marble type game for 1 to 4 players. You may play
against HUMAN or COMPUTER opponents. You may also decide that a certain
color not even play during a game. Doing this will make for a shorter game.
The object is to move your 4 cars from the starting position around the board
to end the game by getting all your cars to
STARTING OPTIONS: ----------------------------------------------------------
When starting Whahoo for the first time, options are available to change
names of opponents, toggle opponent type, and toggle DRAG RACE option. You
should change the name of player #1 so that this input screen does not appear
when entering Whahoo every time.
The DRAG RACE option makes for a much more exciting game in that if you land
on an another opponent, you race for that spot. The player landing on top of
another player will have an advantage of the last six dice he/she through.
The winner will receive 1 FREE RIDE point while the loser looses a point. Any
car with three wins will receive a FREE RIDE to their home position. (FREE
RIDE points NEVER go below 0.
PLAYING WHAHOO: -----------------------------------------------------------
During entry into Whahoo, you will have option to reset from a saved game or
continue with options and game that was saved the last time you played.
To start playing, click on the dice. A 1 or 6 must be rolled to get the car
out of the starting position. You may have more than 1 car on the board at
one time. You can also jump your own car, but not land on your own car.
Landing on another opponent will start a DRAG RACE or send his/her car back
to the starting point.
If you land on a point nearest the center and roll a 1, you may take a short
cut across the middle, but you will also need to roll a 1 to exit the middle
spot.
