Coded by Robert Dale What is it? =========== Have you ever played Yahtzee? If so, this is the Xenolink online version. If you haven't, instructions are an option from the main menu, but, simply put, it's a damned addictive dice game where you throw and hold 5 dice and try to match the scores against a set scorecard. Try it and see! Installation ============ Simply Unarchive the executable to Doors:XYaht/ - The path is hardcoded for the scores data file only, so if you don't like this, and feel adventurous, you can always hack the executable. Alternatively I would have to hard-code a path to a config file, so it's six of one and half a dozen of another... Add the following to your Doors sourcefile and re-compile it. CMD = "" { XenolinkDoor "Doors:XYaht/XYaht" } NB: I've read reports that some systems require the Callback data tilde ~20 before some of their doors work (ie Doors:XYaht/XYaht ~20) but this seems to work fine here without. Miscellanea =========== The XYaht.scores is a plain textfile, so you can easily cheat ;). This is my first online game door in C, and it's taken me just under a week from scratch, including learning most of the coding from scratch. I've got the bug now, so if anyone has any ideas for games they'd like to share, throw them this way and I'll take a look. Asci, ANSI and RIP artists also required!! Tested - A3000 with Xeno 1.96beta only, although it should work fine on any system from A500 Z3a upwards. Please report any bugs (Nah, surely not!?) to me, Robert Dale via any of the following mediums (in order of preference!)...
