PHOTOMEM -------- A game for PSION 5mx that tests your photographic memory capabilities (C) Ruud Boer, The Netherlands, November 1999 Any comments or suggestions are welcome at: r.boer@chello.nl Freeware: --------- The program may be freely distributed. Please be so kind to leave the original Photomem.zip complete so that everyone can read this text. About the game: --------------- PHOTOMEM tests your short term memory capabilities. You do not play against the PSION. You play against yourself! It works as follows. On a 5x5 grid some fields are lit shortly. Your task is to remember what you saw and reproduce it. If you do that well, it gradually becomes more difficult (more fields are lit). If you make a mistake it costs you a "life". You start with 3 lives, so after 3 mistakes the game ends. A high score will be saved. Well... this sounds easy and easy it is in the beginning. However when the game progresses it becomes more challenging and it can become very addictive because you constantly want to proof to yourself that you can do better! Supported systems: ------------------ Photomem works on my PSION 5mx and on the Symbian emulator as installed on my PC. Does this guarantee that it works on your system? I should guess so but I really do not know! The screen layout is not designed for the REVO. Disclaimer: ----------- Installing and playig the game is fully at your own risk. Your batteries run low at twice the normal speed? (Just kidding). Your wife is all dressed-up for a special evening but she does not even catch your eye? I am not to blame! Installing: ----------- 1. Unzip the POTOMEM.ZIP to a directory of your choice on your PC. 2. Install the Photomem.sis in the usual way via Psiwin. Alternatively (and for the emulator) you can copy the Photomem.sis file to any location on your PSION C:\ "drive" and run it. 3. The program files will be installed automatically in the PSION directory C:\System\Apps\Photomem. In order to be able to see the C:\System directory you must first enable this via the PSION MENU as follows: > / Tools / Preferences / Show System folder. 4. Photomem will be added on your "Extras" bar with a "?" icon. (I did not take the effort of creating a fancy icon; too little time for that). 5. You can now start Photomem by selecting it from your "Extras" bar. Playing the game: ----------------- Well, it essentially speaks for itself. There are no rules. Just tap "Start" (or hit any key) and go ahead! Tapping "Help" will tell you all there is to know! High scores will be remembered also after power off. If you ever wish to reset hiscore to zero than just delete the file C:\System\App\Photomem\Hiscore. Have fun !
