**************************************************************************
5-in-a-row V1.2
-----------------
by
Daniel Osman
**************************************************************************
Introduction :
----------------------
The aim of the game is to get 5 of your own circles in one row.
It is similar to 3-in-a-row, but here the playfield is much bigger
and you must have 5 (not 3) in a row to win.
In this version the game is only for two human players (no human vs computer
option).
The game area is a window divided into 20 X 20 squares. One player has white
circles and the second has black ones which he/she places, according to turn
with the mouse, in one of the empty squares. (From version 1.1, it is
possible to change the colours of your circles and from version 1.2 to
change the size of the game area using icon tooltypes. Look for a list of
them bellow).
The score is shown in the bottom left corner of the window. The next match
begins the loser of the previous one.
A bar with the colour of the player to move is on the right side of the
window.
The game will look best on a workbench screen with 8 colours (MagicWB).
ToolTypes :
----------------------
This version of the game supports icon tooltypes. With the help of them
you can now modify the look of the game window.
Here is a list of them:
COLOUR_NET=x ---------- Colour of the net (boxes). Default 4.
COLOUR_1ST_PLAYER=x --- Colour of 1st player circle. Default 1.
COLOUR_2ND_PLAYER=x --- Colour of 2nd player circle. Default 2.
COLOUR_WIN_LINE=x ----- Colour of the "win line". Default 7.
BOX_WIDTH=x ----------- Width of the boxes.
BOX_HEIGHT=x ---------- Height of the boxes.
X_AMOUNT=x ------------ X amount of boxes. Default 20.
Y_AMOUNT=x ------------ Y amount of boxes. Default 20.
If the width an height tooltypes are not used the program will check the
resolution of your workbench screen and set the best possible values. But if
you decide to use them, it will look best with even numbers. Changing those
values will also change the width and height of the window.
If the colour tooltypes are not used then the program will use default
settings.
Installation :
----------------------
Just drag the icon named 5inRow to whatever directory.
Requirements :
----------------------
The program should run on any Amiga with workbench > 2.04. I am also
happy to hear about any bugs you've found in this game.
