Here it is...the GOOD version of TRON.. I didn't expect TRON to be sent so soon to USA, that's why I didn't write any English Documentation yet for it... The other reason to this is that before October 1992, I did not have any acces to telnet nor ftp...but now it's OK... ---------------------------------------------------------- INSTALLATION...CHECKSUM CONTROL... TRON II+ is the Library number 912. Here is how to install it on your HP48 : 1> Get the uuencoded or ASCed ascii text to your computer or UNIX System. (Cut the appropriate below part of this file...) 2> UUDECODE it or UNASCED it...(with uudecode or asc->...). 3> You now have a binary file on your computer or Unix System. Transfer it to your HP using Kermit : baud 9600, wire, binary, parity none... 4> The Tron Library is now in your current directory... CHECKSUM CONTROL : _Put the HP in HEX mode (if not already set...). _Put the library on the stack. _Type BYTES. _You should get on the stack -> 2: F2CCh 1: 9186 _If not...The file has been corrupted... _If yes...great !!!...you've got it !!!... 5> How to install it (IF NOT CORRUPTED...) : _Put the Library on the Stack... _Type 0 STO, or 1 STO, or 2 STO...to store it in ports 0,1 or 2... _Press ON-C at the same time... _Go to the library menu...and there it is.... ---------------------------------------------------------- LIBRARY DESCRIPTION... INFOS : Press this key to have the original information about the game. I'm afraid you cannot write me to the specified server from USA... It could cost you a lot... But you can write me to my 1992-93 email adress... (see before...) It initializes the PICT to its standard size (131*64) for later use... CTRL : This is the Game Paramaters Utility. _Difficulty : The Difficulty level... From 00 to 99... (Change with "A" and "B" keys). _Protection Shield : The Initial Shield Value (see below...). From 00 to 99... (Change with "C" and "D" keys). _Dolby Stereo Left : Sound ON/OFF for player 1...(sorry...no dolby...) Change with "E" Key... _Dolby Stereo Right: Sound ON/OFF for player 2...(no dolby yet...) Change with "F" Key... _Number of Players : 1 or 2. Change with "1" or "2" keys... PLAY : Press this to play the game !!! Please read the following instructions before... DUEL : You just have to specify the Score to reach... And the HP will count the points... The first player who reaches the specified score is the winner. ---------------------------------------------------------- GAME INSTRUCTIONS : This is a game based on the "TRON" Video... Have you seen it ? No ?... Well...each player pilots a space-motorcycle and the goal is to make the other crash into a wall... The main difficulty is that each vehicle makes a solid material "trace"... And this "trace" is to be considered as a wall... Each motorcycle can have acces to 2 Special Options : TURBO : This increases your speed... And it's unlimited !!!...Yeeeahhh.... SHIELD : This activates your Protection Shield...(see CTRL menu...) It permits you to destroy the wall in front of you (But not the playfield wall...). Be careful...it IS limited... Just play...and you will understand better... I think the 2-player Mode is the most interesting... But you can use the 1-player mode to "visit" the playfield... Try for example to enter the "tunnels" on the 4 sides walls of the playfield... And...try to get out of them...!!! Have Fun... ---------------------------------------------------------- KEYBOARD CONTROLS : Place the calculator sideways between the two players... The enumerated directions are local to each player... -Player 1- -Player 2- [alpha-key] LEFT [1/x] [Right-Shift] RIGHT [NXT] [4] UP [Down-Cursor-Arrow] [Left-Shift DOWN [Right-Cursor-Arrow] [MTH] TURBO-MODE [+] ['] SHIELD [-] ---------------------------------------------------------- If any problems, please write me !!!...(In FRANCE...)
