............................... AMAZEING --- REVISION OUTLINE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ version 4.02 6th Dec 1993 ====================================================================== - MIDI support. You can now play .mid files for each game event. Also, the start sound can be looped so that you have constant music. Check out the help section. - New maze algorithm - choice offered. The recursive algorithm produces longer, more curvy mazes, but they are much easier to solve. - Maze creation can now be aborted with Escape. - Better menu disabling. - Mud map window hidden during animation. - Bug fix with mud map being filled when not shown and moving with mouse only. - Bug fix with logo bitmap being redrawn when compass, coordinates, or exit distance option toggled. version 3.92 4th Oct 1993 ====================================================================== - Can now set different colours for the N/S walls and E/W Walls. Please read the "Colour menu" section of the help file for special information. - Hint feature now made a menu option. This was a hidden feature in previous versions. Enjoy! :) - Reloading saved settings is now possible from the Options menu. - Use middle colour checkbox extended to being maze item dependent - you can opt to ignore the middle setting for NS Walls, EW Walls, Floor & Ceiling and Manholes. - Right mouse button click added as an alternative for the shift-click combination to look up/down in multi level mazes. - Mud map window can now be closed with Alt-F4 and the menu updated accordingly. - Help file corrections. - Bug fix with mud map window being shown when animating. - Bug fix with placing/removing markers whilst the mud map window is displayed. version 3.84 6th Sep 1993 ====================================================================== - Bug fix with screen redraw occuring whilst in user defined colour setup dialog in version 3.83. My appologies to anyone who got version 3.83. - Hey! Why not join the mailing list! :) (See revision info for version 3.52) version 3.83 4th Sep 1993 ====================================================================== - The "RAINBOW" version! Can now select colour for the walls/floor etc at the middle and end of the corridor for pure colours mode. Now you can get some *really* good looking screens! (It still looks better with end colour at 0, but now it's up to you to make that decision!) - Mouse movement changed to move on left button release to conform to standards and to allow change of mind after the button has been pressed down. - Section in WIN.INI was getting big (especially with the new colour fields!), so options are now saved to AMAZEING.INI in separate sections. - AMAZEING LOGO PICTURE DRAWN BY JI MIN - Windows 3.1 file dialog for selecting message file. - Palette now resets properly when window gets focus. - Palette usage changed slightly so it is okay on ET4000 TURBO drivers. - Bug fix with extra pixel height on far wall of corners that was very noticeable in "quick draw" mode. This inaccuracy is now only noticeable when the window height is very small. - Bug fix with exiting or loading a new message file if one with more than 4000 lines already loaded. - Bug fix with screen being drawn twice where the initialization message dialog box was at game startup. - REMINDER: be bold, be brave, send me a postcard! version 3.52 2nd Aug 1993 ====================================================================== - Customizable wall messages - up to 4000! Can also have messages with multiple lines. - Low quality "quick draw" mode for smooth shading. Approximates everything to rectangles. - Can now play game with keys in the mud map window. 15 lines of code - didn't take much did it? So why didn't I do it in 3.21??? - Two more sound events - application launch and close. - Bug fix with position of mud map window when window is maximized. - Bug fix with "Place Marker" menu selection when a game has been successfully finished. - New mailing list set up!
