* * * B O O B Y T R A P * * * RELEASE History This is the start of the History file to indicate what changes, corrections and additions I have done. Beta release: 11/08/91 - V007: - Activated ability for Sysop to increase/decrease time with the F1/F2 keys. - Game now gives time warning starting at 4 minutes. 11/19/91 - V008: - 500 bonus points added if game won. - Added flag toggle/un-toggle by using flag key. Offical Release 11/23/91 Ver 1.0 12/22/91 Ver 1.1 Max number of squares that can be flagged now limited to 25. Before, a player could flag all squares, then trip one to be able to get 2400 points. Game fixed so player can only go in once a day. Before a player could leave and then come back in to play another set of games. Sometimes the number of played games would go into the negative, allowing the player to play more than allowed. I think this is fixed but will have to keep an eye on it. Several cosmetic changes made. 05/26/92 Ver 1.2 Demo Key requirment eliminated!. Game is fully playable without a demo key. To incourage registration, but also give the Sysop as much time as needed to evaluate the game, a few features are only active on the registered version. Bullitons will not be created and the score board will reset every 25 days. If player leaves the game but still has games left for that day, he can now go back and finish them. Sysop option for "Safe" square at start of each game. Sysop option for Dedication line on opening screen. (Registered ver only) Sysop option for "Nag" line on opening screen. (Non-Registered ver only) Corrected bug where player could flag 25 squares and select [D]one and get 2500 points. 06/03/92 Ver 1.3 Just cleared up a few minor things. Put a notice on the board screen that the Safe Square is Active or Not. Fixed it so that the Safe Square is always a blank square instead of just one without a booby trap. That's about it. 07/27/92 Ver 1.3b Squished a bug that only showed itself if someone started to play when the time was close to Midnight and said No that they did not want to continue. There was a possiblity of a lock up. 11/05/92 Ver 1.4 Fixed bug that would allow a player to win a game and quit without viewing score, keep the score but not have the game counted as being played. 11/25/92 Ver 1.4a Put the C to clear the square back in. Left out by mistake in 1.4 12/20/92 Ver 1.5 Changed the screen colors and removed the color background. The black background has increased the speed of the squares clearning. Fixed the problem where it appeared the game would not return from chat mode. The screen is now re-drawn when exiting Chat. Added a [T]oggle so the color of the squares can be changed to one of the 3 colors available. 12/23/92 Ver 1.6 Added the ability to toggle the color of the numbers that are displayed inside the squares. This was requested because of the low contrast of the red on black. 01/01/93 Ver 2.0 Only one major feature added...the ability to make up prior missed games. 01/24/93 Ver 2.1 Fixed the display of the Score Card. Players above #10 would show three spaces to the left of the first 9. Fixed the problem with the game not working if the bulletin lines in the .CFG file were left blank. They lines still have to be there but they can be blank if bulletins are not wanted. Up-dated register form to show new game and pricing structure. 03/20/93 Ver 2.2 Fixed a problem with the Setup program not running when BOOBYTRP.EXE was run from the DOS prompt. The name of the Setup Program was wrong in the .EXE file. Added information for ordering Game Packs with credit cards. 04/15/93 Ver 2.3 Updated Door Info to reflect new door and pricing * * * S U P P O R T B B S * * * Com-Dat BBS 2001 N.E.
