The installation and explanation of Turbo Run is so simple that these dox are
|
|
almost completely unnecessary. However, read it so you understand what this
|
|
game is.
|
|
|
|
Turbo Run is the first ARCADE-style on-line game written in ACOS (at least that
|
|
we know of.) It is written for users with ProTERM.Special Emulation and makes
|
|
use of nearly all the emulation's functions including animation, mousetext, and
|
|
music.
|
|
|
|
Turbo Run is written entirely in ACOS. Also, to facilitate easy installation,
|
|
Turbo Run is contained ENTIRELY in one file: TURBO.SEG.S Turbo Run will
|
|
make two files on it's own:
|
|
|
|
TURBO.VAR A file to temporarily store the users variables
|
|
TURBO.TOPTEN TopTen players list.
|
|
|
|
To clear the Top Ten players list, just DELETE the top ten file. It's as simple
|
|
as that.
|
|
|
|
If you are running your system off of a GS, it is to your advantage to run the
|
|
BBS at the "fast" mode (2.7 Mhz).. This will make the game go a LOT faster
|
|
thus increasing the fun for the player.
|
|
|
|
To install, just "link" to the game from main.seg or wherever and in the label
|
|
BACK in Turbo Run change the link back to wherever you want.
|
|
|
|
The program will automatically check to see if the user has ProTERM emulation.
|
|
However, should a user have difficulty in getting on, as has been the case with
|
|
EPIC modem owners, the caller can simply type "PROTERM" when prompted to do so
|
|
after it says "you don't have ProTERM Emulation." You can take this out
|
|
if your users don't have this problem.
|
|
|
|
If your board is running at 300 baud, don't even bother putting this up.
|
|
|
|
Turbo Run currently is running on a "unlimited play" system. It is up to you,
|
|
the sysop, to determine any limit of games per call or how you wish to use this
|
|
game. It can be used as a casino game, or merely for fun.
|
|
|
|
One last thing, the game looks REALLY bad from local mode.. Please give this
|
|
game a chance by perhaps calling your system remotely and seeing what this game
|
|
looks like to the caller. It is worth it. Rumor has it that there will soon
|
|
be a way to see the terminal emulation from local mode, but currently we know
|
|
of no way that this is possible.
|
|
