Hampson's Plane

HAMPSONS PLANE


     A TRANSLATION OF THE GAME BY
   THE SAME NAME. THE ORIGINAL GAME
  CAME FROM M. HAMPSON OF THE UNITED
KINGDOM AND WAS IN "THE BEST OF SYNC"
MAGAZINE VOLUME ONE.

     I CONVERTED THE GAME TO RUN ON
THE ATARI ST SERIES OF COMPUTERS.
THIS GAME WAS WRITTEN USING
GFA BASIC VERSION 2.0
THE GAME WILL RUN IN ANY RESOLUTION.
IT WILL ALSO RUN FROM ANY FOLDER AND
WILL WORK WITH A HARD DISK DIVE.


TO PLAY HAMPSONS PLANE JUST RUN THE
PROGRAM "HAMPSONS.PRG". THE PROGRAM
LOOKS FOR A FILE CALLED "HP.HSC" IF
THE FILE DOES NOT EXIST IT WILL BE
CREATED WHEN YOU FINISH THE GAME.

THE FIRST THING YOU WILL BE ASKED FOR
IS THE SKILL LEVEL YOU WANT TO PLAY
AT. THE SKILL LEVEL CAN RANGE FROM
1 TO 50000. THE SKILL LEVEL IS HOW
MANY BLOCKS OF 3 BY 3 THAT WILL GET
REVERSED.

THE OBJECT OF THE GAME IS TO USE THE
MOUSE TO THE CENTER OF A 3 BY 3 BLOCK
THAT YOU WANT TO REVERSE AND CLICK
THE LEFT MOUSE BUTTON TO REVERSE THE
GROUP. KEEP DOING THIS UNTIL THE 
ENTIRE SCREEN IS THE SAME PATTERN OF
BLOCKS. FOR LOW AND MEDIUM
RESOLUTION THIS IS RED PLUSSIGNS ON A
GREEN BACKGROUND.
FOR HIGH RESOLUTION THIS IS BLACK
PLUSSIGNS ON A WHITE BACKGROUND.

TO QUIT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE GAME
PRESS THE "Q" KEY AND THE GAME WILL
END.

     IF YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTION OR
