Guess A Number
Version 1.07 I made some minor changes to the program and these
were mostly to the opening and closing screens. I did change
back to QuickBASIC 3.0 which is faster in execution than versions
starting with 4.0.
Version 2.00 This is a whole new version. It is only about 5,000
bytes larger than 1.07 and is stand alone, meaning that it no longer
requires the BRUN30.EXE runtime library. It is written and compiled
in Turbo Pascal 5.5.
Please let me know what you think of this version. I am in the
process of converting all my earlier programs over to Turbo
Pascal. Most programs are smaller, all of them are faster.
Version 2.01. Corrected a problem on new games with same user. The
program did not reset the counter. Was okay for new user, but did
not roll over if user did consecutive games. Also adjusted some
of the diplays, no major changes.
Version 3.00. This version runs in Color or Mono. Uses symbols in
place of colors. Corrected some display problems. No user reported
bugs, just things I caught. Please report any problems to me.
Version 3.01. Fixed a display problem where the program cleared
part of the screen when the user did not type in a name.
Version 3.10. Compiled the program with Turbo Pascal 7.0 and added
the typing sound I developed for my Typing program for children when
I recompiled it with BP 7.0. I thought children might enjoy it more
if it did the same typing sound here. Any other changes were only
minor in nature.
Version 3.11. Found that I forgot to display the Title on some of
the screens like to and from the Help/Information screens. That
and updated the Information screen.
Version 3.12. Caught an error in the background color. It was being
set if mono or color. In mono it should not have been changed. I
test in mono but my testing is not always the best. Evidently the
program continued to read my system as color. I went in as mono and
had a gray background (actually blue) and took me a while to figure
out that I was checking the video setting before I checked the screen
type. In other words it was backwards. As soon as I did the correct
procedure the error went away. This error may have been there in all
the Turbo Pascal versions. No one reported the probelm so it could
have been code that was copied incorrectly. No matter, it should run
correctly in mono and color.
Version 3.20 The score file has changed. It is suggested that if
you are currently using an earlier version that you delete it from
inside the program. The users' names are now colorized inside the
program.
Major internal and display updates. The exit screen should be in the
background color of the user's system. Overall the program is more
colorful and hopefully easier to understand and run.
The archive now contains HUCKABEY.TXT, which is a list of all my
current software. Also added an ARCHIVE.TXT that contains a list
of the files in the archive so users know what should and should
not be in the archive.
Version 3.30. Fixed an error on the credit screen that could cause it
to scroll up one line. Added menu choice to turn the sound On or Off.
All my other games already had this feature.
Version 3.4. Dropped one character off the version numbers. Changed
the sound to default OFF for those who might not want their computer
to make any sounds. You now have to turn on the sound effects from
the menu. Added GUESS.DOC to the archive for people who might need
more information on running the program. There have also been some
program enhancements.
