Installation Procedures
Installing Ditto on your computer is simple. To install, follow these
steps:
1. Start the Windows application and select the Program Manager.
2. Select the run entry from the File menu item.
3. Insert the Ditto disk into the disk drive.
4. Keyin the letter of the drive that you inserted the disk into followed
by ":\setup" in the command line field. For example, if the disk is in
drive "a" you would type:
a:\setup
Next, select the OK button on the dialog box. This will cause Ditto's
setup executable to start running.
Note: Instead of running setup from the run menu entry, you also can
simply double click setup.exe from the Program Manager or Windows
Explorer.
5. The setup executable will display a dialog box with a default
directory specified in the field. If you want to install the files in
another directory, key it in in this field.
6. Select the Install button on the dialog box and the files will be
installed. If the specified directory does not exist, it will be
created for you.
7. If no errors have occurred during installation, a dialog box claiming
successful completion will be displayed when all files have been
copied and expanded.
If the installation was successful, a Sage program group will be created
in the Program Manager. This will contain the Ditto program item. When
you double click on this, Ditto will begin execution.
Online Help
Ditto's Online Help can be accessed in two different ways once it is
running:
By selecting the Help entry under the Help menu item.
By selecting the F1 key from the keyboard.
The Online Help contains information that explains all aspects of this
game and describes how to use all its functionality. This should be the
user's main source of help.
Once the Help window is displayed, the buttons near the top help you find
the information you need. The Contents button displays a list of Help
topics that Ditto provides. The Search button displays a dialog box where
you specify a topic to search for. The Back button displays the
previously viewed topic. The History button displays a chronological list
of all Help topics viewed during your current game session.
If you need to learn how to use Help, press the F1 key on the keyboard
while the Help window is open.
Start Playing
Once Ditto is installed, start the game by double clicking the left mouse
button on the Ditto program item that was created by the setup
executable. After doing this, Ditto will begin execution by displaying
the introduction screen. To stop this introduction and go to the main
screen simply click the left mouse button.
To begin playing, select the Start entry under the Game menu item. You
can also simply select the F2 key on your keyboard. Once this is done
buttons will appear in the window and play begins.
Rules of the Game
Object of the Game
The object of the game is to score as many points as you can by repeating
the button sequence that is shown to you.
How points are scored
Each time you select the correct button in sequence you are rewarded
points. As the sequence of button selections gets longer, the amount of
points rewarded for a correct button selection increases. Also, the more
buttons that are present on the screen increases the rewarded points.
How to play
To start the game, select the Start entry under the Game menu item. You
can also simply select the F2 key on your keyboard. Once this is done
buttons will appear in the window. After a short pause one of the buttons
will light up and the message "YOUR TURN" will appear at the top of the
window. This means that it is time for you to select the same button that
was just shown to you. If you make the correct selection the sequence of
button selections shown to you will increase by one and you will once
again be required to repeat the button sequence just shown to you.
Types of games
There are four different types of games to choose from. These different
games can be selected under the Game Definition entry under the Game menu
item. When the 3 Buttons, 4 Buttons, or 6 Buttons game is selected, the
specified number of buttons will remain throughout the game. As you play
these games, the sequence of button selections will continue to increase
by one until you make an incorrect selection. Once you make a mistake the
sequence will start back at one and increase by one again until your next
mistake. The Progressive game is a little different. There are goals that
enable you to advance to higher levels. The goal represents the length of
a sequence that you must complete successfully to advance to the next
level. The next level represents a different button configuration which
contains one more button then the previous level. Once you complete one
goal, the number of buttons on your screen will increase by one and the
sequence length will reset to one. When you make a mistake, the game will
reset to level one, sequence one, no matter what level or sequence you
are presently on.
Game over
Once you have made three incorrect selections the game is over. If you
have scored enough points to make the high score, the High Score dialog
box will automatically display to allow you to enter your name.
