MADgic40.lzh is Version 4.0 of The MADgic Core: Core War for the Amiga
Copyright 1992 Mark A. Durham. It is freely distributable in its complete
archived form.
The archive should be decompressed to an empty floppy disk to get the
full effect of the system. It requires about 90% of an 880K disk.
New for 4.0:
Keys:
Menu short cuts now work with or without the Right Amiga key
depressed. Foreign keyboard? Strange keymap? Dvorak lover?
No trouble! It is taken care of. While we are on the subject
of keys, be sure to try Left Amiga-V for OK gadgets and
Right Amiga-B for Cancel gadgets. Also, play with the cursor keys
(and SHIFTed cursor keys and ALTed cursor keys) in the new Load
requester (see below). Don't forget these other short cuts:
Right Amiga-ALT to deselect string gadgets; Right Amiga-Q to undo
changes in a string gadget; and Right Amiga-X to clear a string
gadget.
Configurable Sound:
Allows you to assign different frequencies (in Hz) to different
instructions. Instructions for Player A are one octave above
instructions for Player B - the frequencies for which are displayed
(and alterable) in the Sound... requester. Hit the Sound button to
turn sound on or off.
Load Requester with that Release 2.0 look-and-feel:
Many 3.x problems have been fixed here. The AReq, BReq, and Random
gadgets are all accessible from single keystrokes.
Go:
Go has cleaned up its act. It is now a synonym for Continue.
Windows:
The main Core Window can now be sent Forward and Backward with single
keystrokes. The Tasks Gauge and Timer Windows can both be moved
about (as well as the Trace and Memory Windows) by selecting the
window and then depressing the cursor keys. Be sure to try them
SHIFTed and ALTed.
Bugs, bugs, bugs:
I have discovered and eradicated many potential 3.x bugs.

SmallMARS88:
When you want blazing speed and versatility in a small package, these
four programs are it. No graphics or debugging - just fast and small.
Redcode:
Redcode programs from the 1987, 1988, 1989, and 1990 ICWS tournaments.
No assembly required!
TMARS:
A round-robin tournament manager program. It is actually encrypted
in the archive. This is to encourage you to register your copy of
The MADgic Core with me. Registration is free. I just want to keep
track of those using the system. When I receive your registration,
I'll send you the MADgic word which decrypts the program.
I think you'll agree that The MADgic Core v4.0 is "Worth its wait in gold!"
