This is a short note how to play MasterMind.

first:
      This archive contains the following:
 
      Mastermind1.3 + .info
      MasterMind.doc + .info

      octaplayer.library    --> put this one in your libs: directory!
______________________________________________________________________________ 
     
Start the game from CLI or WorkBench. A new screen appears;
lets start playing.

You can choose the colours by clicking on the colour gadgets. These
can be found on the right in the middle of the screen. When you click,
the chosen colour appears on the playfield. Choose 4 colours and click
on Ok. Now black and or white boxes appear and they tell you if
any colour is good (black) or half good (white). Good means right colour on
the right place and half good means right colour only wrong place.

You can Quit or start a New game at any time.
Also you can start or stop the music at any time by clicking on the
Music Off / Music on gadget.
The Undo button can be clicked on while 'thinking' or when you
pressed a wrong colour. The last colour will be deleted. 
If you click All then all the choosen colours dissappear, and
you can start again.

If you want to, you can also choose the 8 Colours gadget. Now 
you can make a choice out of 8 colours (or 6 if you click again!)

A new feature is the music. To be able to hear the song, you have to put the
"octaplayer.library" in your Libs: directory. I can imagine you don't like 
the music so there is a gadget to hear the music or not.

I must thank Anders Bjerin for the ACM (Amiga C Manual) for the numerous
tips how to program the mighty Amiga!
Another Thanks goes to Eric ter Beek for testing and graphical advice.
                       
Sorry that I ripped things from Kick-Off. I am just worlds biggest fan of
this incredible game!

I hope the game is bug free, if any bug found, send e-mail to the address 
below. (Send mail anyway)

Have Fun!
