Jumble v1.0 --------------------------------------------------------------------- copyright 1995 Stand Alone & Erik Wiessmann - Feel Free to distribute. * What's it do? --------------------------------------------------------------------- Jumble is a word search player. You can generate as many unique puzzles you wish. Puzzle topics include: Animals, Cars, Countries, Sports, Computer Languages, and Random. These puzzles can then be played on the Newton, or printed out. A top 5 score list keeps track of the quickest time to words solved games. * Requirements --------------------------------------------------------------------- Jumble needs Newton Operating system 1.3 or later (it will work on MessagePad 100s, MessagePad 110s, and MessagePad 120s, but has not been tested on Original MessagePads or Sharp ExpertPads.)

They are: * Jumble.txt document you're now reading. 'Nuff said. * Jumble.pkg software package you'll install on your Newton. * Register.txt read me file describing the Register software. * Register.pkg software package you can install on your Newton to use Register, which will allow you to pay for Jumble via email. * SAStuff.txt A list of all the software currently published by Stand Alone. * Installing Jumble --------------------------------------------------------------------- First off, you must get the Jumble software package onto your Newton. You can do this using the Newton Connection Kit (for Mac or Windows), the Newton Package Downloader, or the Newton Package Installer. See the documentaion with each of these for more information on installing packages with them. * How To Play --------------------------------------------------------------------- Play: To find a word you tap on the first letter to circle and drag the pen to the last letter. If the word you find is on the list the word stays circled, and the found word is checked off. Once all the words are found the puzzle is solved! Generate: To generate puzzles, tap on the 'i' button and select prefs. Using the three gauges you can select: amount of words in the new puzzle, the average word length, and the letter spacing. (The Letter Spacing gauge must be moved to the right if you want to print the puzzle). If you wish to generate a specific puzzle choose it from the picker labeled 'Specific Puzzle' and tap the 'on' button. Specific puzzles do not use the 'Word Length' slider. * It's Shareware --------------------------------------------------------------------- What's this mean?
