Stones of Asterind Version 0.9 Matthew J. Gelhaus (mgelhaus@proaxis.com) March 30, 1999 This is a game, written in C and utilitizing the GTK+ toolkit. It is an enhanced version of the classic board game Mastermind. This version is currently only for one player, and the computer randomly chooses the code to break. Sorry, there aren't any instructions on how to play the game here (yet), but it's pretty easy to figure out. Searching for "Mastermind" at Yahoo will give you a list of web sites covering the game, so you can probably find good instructions there. LICENSING TERMS: Copyright (C) 1999 <Matthew J.

DISCLAIMER: This is a work still under development, and as such I do not guarantee it will work (see LICENSING TERMS above). However, please send bug reports to me (mgelhaus@proaxis.com), along with as much information as you can. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: This package requires that the GTK+ toolkit (available at http://www.gtk.org) is installed. I have successfully tested this game with GTK+ versions 1.0.6 and 1.1.5, but any of the more recent versions should work as well. If you find it does NOT work with your version of GTK+, please send me a bug report, along with the GTK+ version you have and any other information you think might be helpful. Send bug reports to me at mgelhaus@proaxis.com. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: I haven't looked into using GNU autoconf yet, so for now you have to build it manually (sorry). 1. Unpack the archive and cd into its directory. For example, $ tar zxvf stones-0.9-src.tar.gz $ cd stones-0.9 2. If desired, edit the Makefile. This should only be necessary if you want compiling options other than -Wall and -m486. It might be necessary to explicitly state where your file gtk-config is. 3. Type 'make'. 4. If desired, copy the game into an executable directory. For example, $ cp stones /usr/local/games/ (do this as root) 5. Play the game! Have fun! $ ./stones or $ stones (if it is in your path) Please, please, please report any bugs to me at mgelhaus@proaxis.com. This includes installation instruction bugs, because I was doing this from memory!
