3D-CUBIC GAME HELP
-------------------
3D Cubic Game is based on cubic game. Just like cubic game
you are supposed to make each side of cubic in the game of same color,
there are six color in the game, those are WHITE, RED, BROWN, BLUE,
GREEN, YELLOW.
You see that each side consist of sixteen boxes, like
╔═════╦═════╦═════╦═════╗
║ 1 ║ 2 ║ 3 ║ 4 ║
╠═════╬═════╬═════╬═════╣
║ 5 ║ 6 ║ 7 ║ 8 ║
╠═════╬═════╬═════╬═════╣
║ 9 ║ 10 ║ 11 ║ 12 ║
╠═════╬═════╬═════╬═════╣
║ 13 ║ 14 ║ 15 ║ 16 ║
╚═════╩═════╩═════╩═════╝
In this game I call combination of boxes 1,5,9,13 a column. So there
are four columns in each side, other column may be 3,7,11,15.
And I call combination of boxes 1,2,3,4 a row. Likewise, there are
four rows. Columns are numbered from 1 to 4 from left to right, and
rows are numbered from 1 to 4 from top to bottom. Just like regular
cubic game you can rotate one or more columns and rows.
The menu sytem of this game corresponds to following keys:
1. ARROW KEYS:
You can see other sides by pressing arrow keys, those arrow keys are
relevant to the front side, for example if you want to bring upper side
with relevant to front side downward you will press down key, if you want
to bring right side with relevant to the front side leftward you will
press left key, etc.
2. F10:
F10 invokes the pull down menu, the yellow items indicates that
those are already selected, and you can select those by just pressing
ENTER or you can select other choices by pressing letter in black or
using arrow keys and pressing ENTER.
3. ALT+G (Pressing G, while holding ALT key):
This key brings the GAME MENU, that has four choices:
New Game:
New game starts new game and current game will be gone.
When you will press ALT+G key, this choice is in yellow
that indicates that this is already selected. You can
select this by pressing ENTER key or N.
Open Game:
Open game lets you load previously saved game, this choice
can be selected by pressing O or pressing downward key and
ENTER.
This choice will ask you the name of file in which you saved
previous game. You only need to provide 8 character file name
without extention. The 3DCUBIC game puts the extention .GAM
automatically.
You can also open game by pressing F3 key directly instead of
menu.
Save Game:
This choice lets you save current game, you need to type
file name in which you want to save the game without giving
extention name.
You can also press F2 key directly, instead of going to menu.
Exit:
This choice lets you quit game. Other equivalent F7 key
also lets you quit the game.
4. F2:
This key lets you save the current game. It will ask for the
name of game. You just need to provide name without extention.
5. F3:
This key lets you load the previous game. Like saving game, you
just need to provide name of the file without extention.
If game is saved in some other drive or directory, you will
have to provide full path and name of file.
6. ALT+S:
This lets you rotate the cubic left, right, up, or down
with relevant to front side. You can also rotate the cubic
by pressing arrows keys.
7. ALT+R:
This lets you rotate one or more rows (upto 3) to the left or right.
For example, if you want to move 1st row (boxes 1,2,3,4) and 4th
(13,14,15,16) row to the left, you will do it by invoking main menu
by pressing F10 and pressing right arrow twice or just by pressing ALT+R.
Then menu will show you item "rotate left" in yellow. This means that
this item is already selected, you can just press ENTER or L.
After pressing L or ENTER key, menu will ask you row number and you
will type 1 and 4 and will press ENTER. This will move 1st and 4th
row to the left.
8. ALT+C:
This key lets you move one or more columns (upto 3) to upward
or downward. For example if you want to move 2nd (2,6,10,14)
and 3rd (3,7,11,15) column downward with relevant to front side,
you will press C holding ALT key, and menu will show you that
rotate upward is in yellow that means that this is selected.
But you can select "rotate downward" by pressing D key or downward
key and ENTER. Then menu will ask you column numbers you will type
2 and 3 and will press ENTER again. This will move the columns
2 and 3 downward.
9. B:
To toggle beep sound at the display of cube. Press 'B' to turn
beep sound off or on.
Enjoy the game! :-)
