Subject: Galaxis 1.1 release 1/9
Dear Moderators,
enclosed please find the next release of the game Galaxis 1.1 I wrote.
Galaxis Short Description
=========================
Galaxis is a game of strategy and some luck.
As one user put it: 'A very good cross of Mastermind and Battleships'.
Your object is to try and find four lost capsules on a 9x20 grid
in as few turns as possible. In a turn, you try to figure out the best position
to send a probe to and analyse the data returned. If you use a good strategy,
this data may help you locating the capsules or the next position to send a
probe to.
This new release (v 1.1) features two major improvements over the
last (v. 1.02):
- You can now play against a time-limit. This introduces a stress factor that
you shouldn't underestimate.
- Galaxis 1.1 has high-quality background music.
Galaxis comes in two versions, one for b/w monitors and one for grayscale
monitors with at least 16 levels of gray. The b/w version runs on any Mac,
the gray version on a Mac LC or better.
The multiplayer network version will come if enough of you send in their
postcard. I'm in the early planning stages.
Galaxis is distributed under XMas-Ware System: It was a XMas '91 gift for my
Girlfriend. If you like it, send her a postcard.
Galaxis-Version History
* 1.1 Okt 20, 1992
NEW: Introduced Time Limit to make gameplay more challenging.
NEW: Background Music using the Sound Trecker Drivers by
Frank Seide
Fixed bug in marking: now you can unmark a position again.
Removed Balloon Help. If you want it back, please tell me.
Fixed some arcane window updating bugs.
Fixed minor bugs. Among other things the indicator of ships
still lost dosn't rebeund to four when you found all.
Removed debugging code that degraded performance
* 1.02 Mar 18, 1992
Fixed bug in saving a game: if all capsules where found and you
reloaded the game it told you that 4 ships are still lost.
Fixed bug in saving game: now you cannot save a finished game.
Fixed bug in saving game: now you cannot save an uninitialized game.
Created b/w version for support of older and monochrome Macs. Now there
will be two Galaxis games: Galaxis and Galaxis b/w. First incarnation
for Galaxis b/w is 1.02.
Galaxis b/w screen drivers had to be rewritten to support the smaller
screen size of the 9" Mac Plus, SE and Classic. Had to redo all the
PICTs for this, too.
In later versions I will try to do a better job on the b/w graphics
since this was a quick-and-dirty job.
Added a new menu item 'View Best Missions' to the settings menu. Now
you can look at your best missions any time you want.
If you doubleclicked on the Galaxy Scores File to start Galaxy it will
now display the Highscore List instead of terminating. Thanks to
<Daniel.H.Williams.IV@Dartmouth.edu> for reporting this bug.
* 1.01 Jan 22,1992
Made Soundfile optional. Now, if you remove the soundfile, Galaxis
simply remains silent instead of terminating.
If no Soundfile present, the 'Sound' item gets disabled.
If you doubleclicked on a seen-from-here indicator, this indicator will
be crossed out to signify that it can be neglected in further
considerations. Doubleclicking on it again will reset it to normal
display. Thanks to Stefan Trachsler in Zuerich, Swizerland for this
improvement hint.
Don't have to press Shift to mark multiple. Simple click-and-drag is
enough.
Included Bug Report Form for easier troubleshooting.

<JOHNSON_DOUGLAS_W@LILLY.COM>

Released this version to Barbara, Dec 25. Never released to public.
