- WerbilFUN 2.1.1
-
- By Jim Egelhof & David Harris
-
-
- WerbilFUN is a entertaining game oriented around amusment and not acheivement. However,
- due to suggestions on the part of our in-house WerbilFUN players, and new software we both
- wrote, we wrote 2.1.1.
-
-
- WerbilFUN 2.1.1 is a major improvement over 1.1. The following features have been added:
-
-
- - More support for color (no longer contained simply in the "20000" easter egg)
-
- - More levels. The new version has 15.
-
- - Uses a progress bar to tell you how far you are to becoming an IBM developer.
-
- - The game play has changed.
-
- - A Top-Ten list has been incorporated into the program.
-
- - The program no longer uses the "sickly" radio-button scheme to tell you your status.
-
- - The program now has new opinions in the about.
-
- - Numerous bug-fixes.
-
- - Sounds are played as a standard part of game-play.
-
- - And more.
-
-
- Chapter I: Game Play
-
-
- Game play has changed significantly from previous versions.
-
-
- The program selects a number from one to 100, and you try to guess it using as few guesses as
- possible. The more guesses you use, the worse rating you get. However, you must get the number
- within four guesses on the first number or five on the second or the program will select another
- number (and will tell you it has done so.) However, your rating is not changed, so it has become
- very easy to become an IBM developer should you miss three numbers and use all of your guesses.
-
-
- You still enter your number into the edit field in the game window and click OK or hit return.
- However, you will notice the rest of the window has changed dramatically. Instead of the old radio
- button technique, the "Great Werbil in the Sky" tells you what your rating is. You will also notice a
- progress-bar on the right of the window, which is basically a flipped-over version of the progress-
- bars you see in Finder while copying a file. The black part of the progress bar shows you how close
- you are to becoming an IBM developer.
-
-
- After you (hopefully) win the game, the Top Ten will appear on the screen. If you beat anyone on
- the list (a tie does NOT beat someone), you will be asked to enter your name in the field next to your
- rank, and clicking the close box or pressing return finishes. Should you not beat anyone, simply
- clicking the mouse closes the window.
-
-
- Chapter II: Menus
-
-
- The menus are basically the same as they were in version 1.1.
-
-
- menu:
-
- About WerbilFUN 2.1.1… tells you about the program. Click on any of
- the definitions to hear James Egelhof (an author of the program) pronounce the word correctly for
- you.
-
-
- Desk accessories follow, working the same as in any other Macintosh
- program.
-
-
- File menu:
-
- Quit terminates the program.
-
-
- Edit menu:
-
- Undo undoes your last action. Not used in WerbilFUN.
-
- .
-
- Cut removes selected text in the guess field and places it on the Clipboard.
-
-
- Copy places selected text in the guess field on the Clipboard, but the guess
- field remains unchanged.
-
-
- Paste places the Clipboard contents into the guess field at the location of
- the insertion point, or replaing selected text.
-

- national online service such as CompuServe, America Online, GEnie, AppleLink, and the like, and
- charge standard connect time only. Companies that package and sell sharewae such as EduCorp
- MUST get written licensing from the authors before selling. You are also encouraged to pay a

- The authors will share all proceeds.
-
-
- James Egelhof, the inventor of the concept of WerbilFUN, would like to thank Richard "Little
- Ham[ster]" Egelhof for the idea of a werbil and it's definition, Mom, for the idea of varying the 1.1
- gameplay, and David, for his invaluable programming work.
-
-
- David Harris would like to thank his parents for the free room and board, Richard "Little
- Ham[ster]" Egelhof for something to vent his frustrations on, and James, for the hilarious jokes and
- the many bug fixing ideas.
-
-
- This program was written in ZBasic 5.01, copyright 1984-1988, Zedcor, Inc. The authors are
- extremely frustrated with the many bugs in the compiler and the utility ZMover included with the
- program, and hereby request that the next version repair these deficincies. The compiler crashes
- often, causing serious loss of work, bombs the computer instead of notifying us to errors in the
- code, and many other things. This is why Jim Egelhof is trying to learn either C or Pascal. Should
- you experience a problem with WerbilFUN, it is probably the compiler.
-
-
- We thank you for taking the time to read this documentation, and most notably, to obtain out
- program. We humbly suggest you send us our shareware fee, but we more strongly recommend-
- have fun!
