%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % % % --== KYODAI ==-- % % % % version 1.21 % % % %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% (Commentaires en fran�ais plus bas) Created, designed and coded by Rene-Gilles "Naoki Haga" DEBERDT Music by : Tamura-san (Tanguy) Graphics by : Naoki Haga Tileset : public domain modified by Naoki This is the first program I've been designing for over one year. I was much too busy on my website to find some time for practicing Turbo Pascal, so I'm a bit rusty -- I hope you won't complain about the lack of optimization of some routines. All these problems shall be corrected in the future. I've always been a Mah Jongg Solitaire fan. I wrote my own version because I couldn't find a small freeware program with all the features I wanted... I hope you will like it as well -- and play with it as much as I do ! ^_^ Kyodai works under Windows 3.1 and Windows 95. It's best viewed under a 800x600 resolution, but I've made the program compatible for the 640x480 resolution as well - though it'll be a bit slower. The purpose of the game is to remove all the tiles from a board. The tiles must be removed by pairs : two identical tiles, or two Season tiles, or two Flower tiles. They have to be free on their left or right side, otherwise you can't remove them. The rules are simple and the game is extremely addictive ! If you find any bug in the game, please report it to : naoki@animanga.com No warranty or guarantee is implied or given and none of the authors of Kyodai are responsible for any problems encountered with its use. This game is freeware. You can download it and play it for free. You can distribute it as long as you don't modify the original downloaded file and you don't sell it -- of course. I don't ask for anything, but if you want to send a donation, I'd rather recommend you to purchase the shareware version (available at http://kyodai.com) Thanks for all. --- New features in version 1.21 (April 11, 1997) - New layout : Big Hole. Looks easy to complete... But actually it's quite a tough one ! - Default startup is now without music. You can still select it in the menu. I removed it because it didn't seem to work on some systems - Fixed a few bugs. There are still some minor bugs left (at least two in the hint routines), but I've got no time to fix them for now New features in version 1.2 (April 1st, 1997) - Optimized speed during the game - Optimized speed at startup - Three different colors for the tileset - Colors in the status bar - NO April Fool joke, OK ? New features in version 1.1 (March 24th, 1997) - Larger tiles (40x50 instead of 30x40) - Music (stops after the end of the tune) - Removed Dragon layout (due to copyright problems) - Replaces seasons & flowers (ditto) - Color texture in the tileset - 256 colors Features in version 1.0 (March 4th, 1997) - 30x40 tiles - 16 colors - functions : back (undo), hint, layout - traditional layout - dragon layout from Activision (later removed) - seasons and flowers from Taipei.exe (later removed) --- What shall be added in the next versions (in april or may)... - A hall of fame - Save options - New layouts - Two players game - At least two new musics - Additional game options --- Now, let's switch back to French. More instructions in English will be probably published in a future version. All rights reserved. (c) R.-G. Deberdt, 1997 --- ------------------------------------- Qu'est-ce qu'un Mah Jongg Solitaire ? ------------------------------------- C'est un jeu de r�flexion solitaire inspir� du Mah Jongg, ce fameux jeu de r�flexion asiatique ancestral aux r�gles si complexes. Le Shanghai reprend en fait surtout les pi�ces du jeu de Mah Jongg, ou Pai, ou encore Tiles en anglais. Le but du jeu est de retirer par paires toutes les pi�ces du plateau de jeu. Chaque pi�ce est pr�sente en 4 exemplaires, ce qui fait donc deux paires de chaque. On ne peut retirer une pi�ce que quand elle est libre sur sa gauche ou sur sa droite (c'est-�-dire si on peut la faire coulisser), et si elle n'est pas cach�e par une pi�ce situ�e au dessus d'elle. Pr�cisons enfin que les Fleurs et les Saisons ne sont pr�sentes qu'en un exemplaire pour chaque figure, et s'�liminent par familles. Par exemple, Haru (Printemps) peut s'associer avec Fuyu (Hiver), Aki (Automne) ou Natsu (Et�)... --------- Copyright --------- <Kyodai 1.21> est propos� en freeware, c'est-�-dire que vous pouvez le distribuer librement (tant que vous ne changez pas le contenu des fichiers) et que je ne r�clame pas d'argent en �change.
