CodeBreaker II was supplied for educational purposes by Mr. Kenneth Fogel. The Help system interface was provided by Mike Kuhnkey as an add-on to Ken's application. The source code, as provided by Ken has been modified for the Help system interface, and to comply with WIN31;STRICT.
In keeping with Mr. Fogel's wishes this application is free to all for educational purposes and entertainment. The HELP Interface is meant to demonstrate: HotSpots, Segmented Graphics, Pop-Ups, and general RTF formatting options.
The Learning Point: Bitmaps are treated like "characters" for alignment and such. The large "gameboard" display would allow text to "wrap" at the right side, (This is similar to a dropped capital letter at the beginning of a paragraph.) however each "new" line represented a new paragraph! The "new" paragraph would then be placed at the bottom of the "gameboard" . Creation of this format using Microsoft's WORD baffled me....Thus this help format was created using a text editor and RTF commands acceptable to the Microsoft "Help Compiler".
This is my first attempt at any "WINDOWS" programming ...and it was done using BORLAND's "OBJECTVISION".
I am now using TURBO C++....to avoid the "abstraction" offered by "OBJECTVISION". If you are a "How'd they do that" kind of person and working on WINDOWS Programming drop me a line!
