- ---- DESCRIPTION ----------------------------------------------------------
-
-
- EPPuzzle is a very simple and easy game. It generates 15
- random words and places them in a 15x15 block of random letters.
- These words can placed in the puzzle diagonally, backwards,
- forwards, vertical, horizontal or any combination. The object
- of the game is to find all of the words listed down the right
- side of the puzzle in the block letters.
- When you find a word click on the first letter, the box at
- the top will display the letter and the button for that letter
- stays down. When you click on the next letter in the word it's
- displayed in the top box and it's button stays down also. When
- you've clicked on all the letters the word is removed from the
- list of words on the right, all the buttons for that word are
- released and your ready to start on the next word. If you make a
- mistake and click on the wrong letter then click on the top box
- that spells out the word or the box that says CLEAR and all the
- buttons will be released so you can start again. When and if
- there are later releases the CLEAR button will be removed and
- just the picked display button will be used for mistakes.

- ------- FUTURE ADDITIONS ----------------------------------------------------
-
- The future of this game depends on you. If you send in your
- registration fee then future upgrades will be possible. If not
- other projects will get the programing time. It depends on you!
- Here's a list of possible upgrade additions.
-
- The option of printing the puzzles with the answers.
-
- The option to create your own puzzle using the words that
- you choose.
- ( This option could be used to create puzzles with a persons
- childs spelling words. Then let the child spell the out
- the words from the puzzle. )
-
- Printing to the printer or the clipboard.
- ( The addition of printing to the clipboard would be very
- nice for creating newspaper or news letter like games
- or even word puzzle books.)
-
- Better checking of the clicked on letters.
- ( The way the puzzle is setup now you don't have to click
- on the letters in the word order. For example the word
- LETTERS you can click on the L and then the second E
- then TT and the first E then RS and it will be the same
- as clicking on LETTERS in that order.)

- = VERSION 2 ADDITIONS ===================================================
-
- The print function has been added. The printing works but has
- no cancel requester and is only setup for three resolutions. The
- resolutions are 180x180 360x360 and 720x720. It's setup to print
- at 180x180 with out any changes. To change to a higher resolution
- from the puzzle screen save a puzzle named the higher resolution.
- An example would be 360.PUZ would print a puzzle in 360x360 and
- 720.PUZ will print a puzzle 720x720. In future updates there will
- hopefully be a select printer, cancel printing, and print resolution
- requester. If you change from 360 to 720 printer resolution then
- you have to remove the old 360.PUZ file. If you save a file for
- higher resolution then to go back to 180x180 resolution remove
- the 360.PUZ or 720.PUZ file.
-
- The option for Editing or personalized puzzles has been added.
- The words are limited to 10 charatures and there are 10 words.
- Type in the words that you want but don't press enter until you've
- added all you want to add. Check the spelling and what ever else you
- need to do before pressing enter. If you accidently press enter before
- your done then you will have to reenter the words.
