- What is it?
- -----------
-
- SafeCracker V1.0 [27-SEP-1998] PostCard Ware.
- In the game of Safe Craker you job is to crack open a 3 dial safe.
- You must find the right number for each dial and do it within 4 tries.
- The safe numbers range from 1 to 100 and the lights below each dial
- will inform you if you need to go higher > or lower <. Also, you are
- able to get an idea of how far you need to go in the given direction.
- It will not be the exact number but a close proxy. If you can set all
- four dials without setting off an alarm, you will be able to open the
- safe and claim the rewards inside.
-
- It will cost you a given number of file or byte credits or Online Time
- or Game Ponts to play and if you fail to open the safe, those are added
- to the safe for the next person to take a shot at. If the game is set to
- play for fake cash only, then it will not cost you anything to play.
-
- As always, Use at your own risk. It works great here but may bomb
- elsewhere.
-
- Installation:
- -------------
-
- Read History.Doc for past version notes.
-
- 1. Unarch the program :) Lets hope this part is already done.
- 2. Move the SafeCrack directory to PFiles/doors (or anywhere). This program
- uses smart paths so it can always find it's needed files but you do
- need to keep the directory.
- 3. Add this line to your sys.welcome file or as a pfile/door:
- {#0Doors:SafeCrack/SafeCrack}
- ^
- Remember that the { is a CTRL-Q character
- 4. Set the configuration in the game to your needs.
- 5. Save any files you changed and if added to bbsmenu also do a reload.
-
- Thats it! Simple.
-
- Configuration:
- --------------
-
- There are four (4) configuration options at the start of the code. These
- maybe set to your needs. Since there are only 4 small options in this code
- I opted no not code a seperate config program for time/speed sake :) The
- text below will explane them in more detail.
-
- cfg=1 This setting controls what your users will be playing for. If it's
- set to 0, they just play for fake cash and it costs them nothing to
- play the game. If set to 1 they will be playing for Byte Credits, 2
- File Credits, 3 Online Time and 4 for Door/Game points.
-
- bet=1000 This setting is for how much of the users credits will be needed
- to play the game and what is added to the safe each time a user
- looses. If they do not have enough, the game will inform them and
- exit. If cfg is set for fake cash, this option only controls how
- much is added to the safe and costs the user nothing.
-
- pot=1000 This option only sets the starting amount the safe will have after
- a user wins.
-
- max=0 This option is not used in this version at this time.
-
- ers=5 This option setting controls how far off the guess is when
- informing the user about their guess. The smaller the number the
- closer to the real number will be told. It's vary hard to guess a
- number from 1 to 100 in only 4 try's let alone 3 times in a row.
- The best results range from 5 to 10. Less than 5 and the game
- becomes too easy and more than 10 becomes too hard again.
