- Desktop Repeat
- ---------------------
- Desk Accessory Game
- by David Becker
-
- You've probably played it a hundred times before. But never quite
- like this!
-
- Call it what you want, it still boils down to the dumb old game of
- "follow the sequence of colours". The ST will present colours to
- you one at a time. Each time the computer shows the sequence of
- colours, you must match them from the keyboard exactly! (R=Red
- G=Green B=Blue and Y=Yellow) The sequence is repeated after every
- correct try, only with one more colour added to the end.
-
- Now that I have you completely confused, it's time for an example...
-
- Screen starts at black, game begins
-
- COMPUTER SHOWS GREEN
-
- player hits G (for Green) on keyboard
-
- COMPUTER SHOWS GREEN AND THEN RED
-
- player hits G and then R
-
- COMPUTER SHOWS GREEN THEN RED THEN BLUE
-
- player hits G then R Then B
-
- COMPUTER SHOWS GREEN THEN RED THEN BLUE THEN YELLOW
-
- player hits G then R then B then screws up and hits R!
-
- COMPUTER MAKES A DISGUSTING SOUND AND THE GAME ENDS
-
- Boy, sounds like fun, eh?
-
- Each colour is presented with its own distinct tone. Every time
- you complete a correct sequence, the ST will sound a
- congratulatory bleep and then repeat the sequence, plus one more.
- If you enter a colour incorrectly, you will lose and get the
- raspberry sound! You will then be shown the number of correctly
- completed sequences.
-
- It gets better...
- 1. The colours come faster and faster as the game
- progresses.
-
- 2. If you don't press a key quick enough, you will
- lose the game.
-
-
- All this excitement takes place right on the old GEM desktop! Yup,
- icons, windows, mouse and all! You can even play Desktop Repeat
- within running programs (as long as they use the GEM interface and
- background colour).
-
- I've never been past level 12.
- (My cat can walk on the keyboard and go past level 12!)
-
- Desktop Repeat is in the public domain. You use it at your own risk.
