Mountain Software Presents:
TUZZLE
(The Tile Puzzle)
By Anthony Watson
Version 1.0
Released August 5, 1992
THIS IS SHAREWARE. ($5)
This is just a little game I wrote for a change of pace after writing
'The Recipe Box'. It's not high on excitement, but is fun to spend a few
minutes playing. I hope you enjoy it.
This program is SHAREWARE, however, in an effort to determine response to
a non-crippled program, I HAVE NOT disabled any functions in this program.
It is fully playable whether you send in your registration fee or not.
However, I would still appreciate if you would register this program! It's
only five dollars... So, what will you get for five dollars? Well, nothing
much... Just a letter from me thanking you for your support... If that's not
worth five dollars, I don't know what is! Ha. Ha. If you would like to see
furthur software from me (Mountain Software), I urge you to send along that
five dollars ($5).
(Sorry, no first borns, old cars, goats, or used movie passes on this one!)
(Maybe next time? Ha. Ha.)
I hope you find a few minutes of enjoyment with TUZZLE!
Thank You,
Anthony Watson

Version 1.1
Released August 7, 1992
Fixed a little bug that allowed you to enter your high score twice!
And, the BIG change, TUZZLE now also works in ST HIGH (Monochrome)
resolution. A few other 'minor' changes as well.

Version 1.2
Released September 15, 1992
Due to complaints regarding TUZZLE's timer running out, I've completely
redone the timer/scoring routines. You now have as much time as you require
to complete a level. No more 'GAME OVER' right in the middle of your game!
Of course if you take forever, you'll not get a very good score, and may not
advance to the next level.
TUZZLE now has 4 levels (as always), and an infinite number of 'rounds'.
When you complete a level, bonus points (2000 points x level) are added to
your score, then you lose 'penalty points' for the time it took you to
complete that level. (Number of seconds x round x 10). If you are penalized
more points than you received in bonus points, the game ends..
As before, the object of TUZZLE is to complete the puzzle as fast as
possible. Naturally, the faster you complete it, the higher you'll advance,
and you'll receive higher scores!
Also, 'Quit Game' now just quits a game if you are playing a game, and not
exit back to the desktop. 'Quit Game' will only exit back to the desktop if
the game is over!
The High Score display is brought up automatically now if you get on the
list. You used to have to bring it up manually if you wanted to see it. It
is still available manually, if you just want to look!
Though the sound samples were SUPPOSED to be able to play on the TT's, for
some reason they did not? I've made a few changes to the code, and hopefully
you TT owners will be able to hear the samples now? Please let me know!
And finally, the 'cheering crowd' sample has been lengthened. A little more
'praise', if you will, for completing a level?
