1 | wxWin Bombs |
| 2 | by Pasquale Foggia | |
| 3 | ||
| 4 | 1. The aim of the program | |
| 5 | wxWin Bombs is the wxWin implementation of the minesweeper game you find | |
| 6 | under MSWindows 3.1+. Later the rules of the game will be explained for | |
| 7 | the lucky ones of you that have never used Windows. | |
| 8 | ||
| 9 | 2. Installation | |
| 10 | If you are reading this file, I suppose you have succesfully unpacked the | |
| 11 | files in a directory of your hard disk :-). You should already have | |
| 12 | installed wxWin on your system. | |
| 13 | Now you have to modify makefile.bcc | |
| 14 | (if a Windows user) or makefile.unx (if you use a real OS) setting the | |
| 15 | proper values for the directories. Finally, you have to run: | |
| 16 | make -f makefile.bcc | |
| 17 | for Windows (nmake if you use a MicroSoft compiler), or: | |
| 18 | make -f makefile.unx xview | |
| 19 | for Unix+xview and | |
| 20 | make -f makefile.unx motif | |
| 21 | for Unix+motif | |
| 22 | ||
| 23 | If you are lucky, you will find the bombs executable, ready to be run. | |
| 24 | ||
| 25 | 3. Test | |
| 26 | Bombs has been tested under the following platforms: | |
| 27 | PC + MSWindos 3.1 + wxWin 1.60 + Borland C 3.1 | |
| 28 | Sun SPARCstation 20 + SunOS + xview + wxWin 1.63 + gcc 2.3.3 | |
| 29 | and all seems to work fine. | |

| 31 | 4. The author | |
| 32 | This program has been developed by Pasquale Foggia, a PhD student | |
| 33 | in Computer Engineering at the "Federico II" University of Naples, Italy. | |
| 34 | You can contacting him using the following address: | |
| 35 | foggia@amalfi.dis.unina.it | |

| 37 | 5. Disclaimer | |
| 38 | This program is freeware. You can do everything you want with it, including | |
| 39 | copying and modifying, without the need of a permission from the author. | |
| 40 | On the other hand, this program is provided AS IS, with NO KIND OF WARRANTY. | |
| 41 | The author will be in NO CASE responsible for damages directly or indirectly | |
| 42 | caused by this program. Use it AT YOUR OWN RISK, or don't use it at all. | |
| 43 | ||
| 44 | 6. The rules of the game | |
| 45 | Your aim is to discover all the bombs in a mined field. If you click with | |
| 46 | the left mouse button on a cell containing a bomb, your game ends. | |
| 47 | Otherwise, the number of bombs in the 8 neighbour cells will be displayed. | |
| 48 | When you have clicked all the cells without a bomb, you win. | |
| 49 | You can also use the right button (or left button+shift) to mark a cell | |
| 50 | you think hides a bomb, in order to not click it accidentally. | |
| 51 | ||
| 52 | 7. Concluding remarks | |
| 53 | I hope someone of you will enjoy this program. However, I enjoyed writing | |
| 54 | it (thanks to Julian Smart and all the other wxWin developers). | |
| 55 | In the near future I plan to implement under wxWin the great 'empire' | |
| 56 | (is there someone that still remember it?), IMHO one of the most addictive | |
| 57 | strategy games. If someone is interested, please contact me by e-mail. | |
| 58 | I beg you pardon for my approximative english. | |

| 64 | ------ | |
| 65 | A note from Julian Smart: Many thanks to Pasquale for the contribution. | |
| 66 | I've taken the liberty of making a few changes. | |
| 67 | ||
| 68 | 1) I've made the status line have a single field so that you | |
| 69 | can see the 'cells remaining' message properly. | |
| 70 | ||
| 71 | 2) I've changed the title from "wxWin Bombs" (which, as a statement, | |
| 72 | is an unfortunate reflection of the reality of earlier versions of | |
| 73 | wxWindows :-)) to wxBombs. | |
| 74 | ||
| 75 | 3) Added SetClientData to resize the window on Restart; eliminated | |
| 76 | scrollbars; made the frame unresizeable. | |
| 77 | ||
| 78 | 4) Added makefile.dos for VC++ 1.x, makefile.wat for Watcom C++. |
