- Short: A Word Search Game for CNet Amiga 3/4!
- Author: dotoran@bluemoon.net (david weeks)
- Uploader: dotoran@bluemoon.net (david weeks)
- Version: 2.01
- Type: comm/cnet
- Replace: aminet/comm/cnet/cnet_searcher.lha
- Requires: AmigaOS 2/3.x, CNet Amiga, v3.05c/v4.38+
- Distribution: anywhere, everywhere, please mirror!
-
- v2.01 of my Word Searcher. This program comes with 56 lists of words the user
- can choose from. They can then choose a grid size from 14x14 to 18x35 to hide
- the words in. They can even specify which directions could be used to hide the
- words(so if you hate the diagonals, for instance, you can turn them off).
-
- Armed with this info, the file flies through hiding the words, then presents
- the users with a neat ANSI screen. Using ansi cursor keys and the numeric
- keypad, the user moves around the grid finding the words. If they're having
- trouble, they can opt to get 1 of four types of HINTS. The game can tell them
- the next UNFOUND word, it can highlight all occurrances of a specific letter,
- it can list ALL the words which could have been hidden, with those found and
- those skipped color coded, or it can actually show you an Answer Grid!
-
- If the user stays with it and completes the entire game, they'll be added to
- the CHAMPS file for that puzzle. 15 entries exist in each Champs file, which
- lists the user's handle, the puzzle's dimensions, how many directions could
- have been used to hide the words, as well as how LONG it took them to complete
- the puzzle, in hours, minutes, and seconds! (If the Answers Hint is used, you
- won't be eligible for a High Score!)
-
- There are even commands to let you create your OWN puzzle word lists, or to
- take an existing list and create a FILE for DOWNLOAD of a Puzzle, with Word
- List and accompanying Answer Grid!
-
- Instructions on how to add puzzles of your OWN are also included!
