Astrocks

=========================================================== ASTROCKS - V 1.1 for the Psion Series 5MX (and compatibles) =========================================================== Classic Arcade action - Use you spaceship to destroy asteroids, but watch out for the debris and the Rock Guardian. Asteroids increase in number and in speed as the game progresses. High quality smoothly animated graphics, atmospheric sounds effects & speech, plus addictive gameplay make this a game you will play again and again. (A version for the standard Series 5 is also available) All my programs can be downloaded and registered via my website... http://www.bjv.btinternet.co.uk/ ============ INSTALLATION ============ The minimum installation is 112k, the maximum installation is 276k. Turn on your Series 5mx, press the System icon (bottom left of the screen), press the Menu key, under 'Tools' select 'Preferences', make sure that there is a tick next to 'show system folder' and click on 'OK'. Go into either C:\System\Apps\ or D:\System\Apps\ From the menu, under 'File' select 'Make new folder' name it 'Astrocks'. Copy all the files except README.TXT into the \System\Apps\Astrocks\ folder. If you wish to save space, you may omit some or all of the sound files, but I recomend trying the game with the sounds as they make it more fun. Pressing the 'Extras' button (bottom right of screen) will now reveal this programs icon, select it to begin. If you have a problem, rename the Astrocks folder to a different name, wait a few seconds, then re-name it back to Astrocks, and try again. If you have difficulty with installation, re-read and follow carefully the above instructions, you have probably put the files in the wrong place, or named the folder incorectly. ================================= UPGRADING FROM AN EARLIER VERSION ================================= Just follow the installation instructions above, overwriting any existing files. =============== TROUBLESHOOTING =============== If you have a problem, check that your batteries are not low, and that there is plenty of memory available to the program. Sometimes the Series 5 fails to play sounds when batteries are becoming low, but are not quite low enough for the Series 5 to report them as low. If in doubt, change the batteries. Check that you have followed the installation instructions correctly. Check my web site to see if you are using the latest version of this program. http://www.bjv.btinternet.co.uk/ If you still have a problem after checking the above, send me an email, explaining the problem in as much detail as possible, stateing what machine you are running the program on, what version you are running, what files have been put where, at what point in the programs execution the error happened, and what error messages, if any, were given. My email address is bjv@btinternet.com =========== HOW TO PLAY =========== Full instructions are included in the program, just select 'How to play' from the menu. ============ REGISTRATION ============ Full instructions on how to register and details of cost are given within the program, just select 'How to register' from the menu, you will be given a choice of registration methods and their prices, followed by full instructions to the method of registration selected. All my programs can be downloaded and registered via my website... http://www.bjv.btinternet.co.uk/ When you register you will receive a code that will enable this program to be used with your Series 5. The code is linked to the Unique ID of your Series 5, if for any reason a replacment code is required, one will be supplied free of charge. If you require further codes for any reason (including changes in your Series 5's Unique ID due to repair, or to replace a lost code), you will need to register for the new Unique ID. You will recieve a new code, and again be entitled to a replacement code if needed. The above policy is necessary to minimise piracy, and to keep the amount of time spent dealing with each registration to an acceptable level, which in turn, enables me to keep the cost of registration low. It took a long time to write this program, I hope you like it and will register so that I continue making more programs for your enjoyment. Best wishes, Ben Vaughan.
