| | 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 successfully 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. |

| | 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. |

| | 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 unresizable. |
| | 77 | |
| | 78 | 4) Added makefile.dos for VC++ 1.x, makefile.wat for Watcom C++. |
