SKID MARKS CANDO POP QUIZ VOLUME 1 (1992)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
WELL I MUST START OFF BY THANKING YOU FOR PURCHASING A COPY OF MY POP
QUIZ DISK FOR THE AMIGA COMPUTER.
IT SHOULD HAVE ONLY COST YOU THE PRICE OF A BLANK FLOPPY !
I KNOW THAT MOST P.D. LIBRARIES WILL ALSO INCLUDE OVERHEADS, BUT I HOPE
THEY DIDN`T INCLUDE TOO MUCH !!!
REQUIREMENTS:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
POP QUIZ WAS CREATED ON AN AMIGA 500 Plus AND THEN THE FINAL TOUCHES WERE
ADDED USING THE AMIGA 1200.
I HAVE TESTED POP QUIZ ON THESE MACHINES: A500+ / A1200
NON OF WHICH HAD ADDITIONAL MEMORY INSTALLED.
JUST THE BASIC STANDARD MODELS.
POP QUIZ RUNS FINE IN THOSE MACHINES, SO YOU SHOULDN`T HAVE A PROBLEM
RUNNING IT IF YOU OWN ONE OF THE ABOVE.

YOU ................ FOR PURCHASING THIS DISK !
ALL QUESTIONS IN POP QUIZ WERE COMPILED BY SKID MARKS FROM VARIOUS
SOURCES.
I WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE WRITERS OF THE GUINESS BOOK OF HIT SINGLES
(Paul Gambaccini, Tim Rice & Joe Rice)
THE WRITER OF NOW MUSIC MASTER MIND
(Ashley Abram)
THE WRITERS OF TRIVIAL PURSUIT RPM EDITION
(Horn Abbot International)
ALTHOUGH MOST QUESTION IDEAS CAME FROM THE ABOVE SOURCES I DID INCLUDE
MY OWN INFORMATION TOO.
I DID A LOT OF WORK IN COMPILING THE QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS (CHOICES)
AND I HOPE YOU ENJOY THEM.
INFORMATION:
~~~~~~~~~~~~
I DID NOT HAVE ANY INSTRUCTIONS FOR CANDO AS AMIGA FORMAT DID NOT INCLUDE
ANY WITH THE COVERDISK !!!
IT TOOK ME ABOUT TWO WEEKS TO WORK OUT WHAT I WAS DOING AND THEN I BEGAN
TO WRITE POP QUIZ VOLUME 1.
AS I WAS USING AN AMIGA Plus WITH NO EXTRA MEMORY, I COULD ONLY TYPE IN
ABOUT FIVE QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS (INCLUDING BUTTONS) BEFORE I RAN OUT OF
MEMORY. (AT WHICH POINT CANDO CRASHED!!!)
I HAD TO KEEP SAVING AND RE-BOOTING AND EVENTUALLY I TOSSED THE DISK
INTO THE DRAWER AND LEFT IT FOR A MONTH!
I THEN UPGRADED TO A NEW AMIGA 1200 AND COMPLETED POP QUIZ WITHIN ONE
WHOLE DAY. (WELL I ONLY HAD 60 QUESTIONS LEFT TO DO).
THE HARDEST PART WAS LEARNING ABOUT CANDO`S FEATURES AND ROUTINES.
IT NOW SEEMS SO EASY BUT IT WAS A LONG ROAD TO START WITH !
I WILL BE PRODUCING POP QUIZ VOLUME 2 WITH CANDO VERY SOON AND I HOPE TO
INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING FEATURES:
A NEW LOOK
MORE THAN 100 QUESTIONS
RANDOM QUESTIONS
A TIME LIMIT
MORE ANSWER CHOICES TO MAKE IT EVEN MORE DIFFICULT!
MORE PICTURES AND SOUNDS
QUESTION BLOCKS
BONUS ROUND
A QUIT TO WB/CLI OPTION !!! (I SHOULD HAVE INCLUDED IT IN VOLUME 1)
THE ONLY PROBLEM THAT I FACE FROM THE ABOVE LIST IS HOW TO MAKE THE
QUESTIONS RANDOM !!! AS I SAID I HAVE NO INTRUCTIONS SO I WILL HAVE TO
SPEND MANY HOURS TRYING TO SOLVE IT !
EG, EACH TIME YOU PLAY POP QUIZ THE QUESTIONS WILL NOT APPEAR IN THE SAME
ORDER AS THEY DID IN THE LAST GAME.
I WOULD LIKE TO ADD SOME QUESTION BLOCKS THAT COULD BE LOADED ONCE YOU
KNOW THE ANSWERS TO OTHER BLOCKS !
THIS WAY YOU COULD NEVER RUN OUT OF QUESTIONS FOR POP QUIZ AND MAYBE I
COULD ALSO RELEASE DATA DISKS WITH MORE QUESTION BLOCKS !
THAT WOULD SAVE ME RE-WRITING POP QUIZ FOR EACH VOLUME !!!
WELL I HAVE A LOT OF WORK AHEAD OF ME SO I`LL GET TO WORK ON THAT LOT IN
THE NEW YEAR.
OH I NEARLY FORGOT ..... I WILL ALSO BE CREATING A STAR TREK QUIZ AS
WELL AS A DOCTOR WHO QUIZ .
LOOK OUT FOR THEM IN 1993 AT A PD LIBRARY NEAR YOU.
