EGASORRY ver 1.03 :
Improvements include:
(1) detailing the Hot Keys on the graphics screen.
(2) Removed the ambiguity in how I was signifying which token was available for movement or exchange.
(3) If only ONE token is available for a particular move, the computer will automatically MAKE the move!
(4) When you are prompted for a Token Number or Number of Spaces, just pressing the appropriate key (without an ) will start movement.
(5) In past versions, I used Dark Grey coloring to BLOCKOUT any option that was NOT available - but NOW, I have completely Deleted the unavailable option(s).
(6) Blue Danube is a beautiful song. BUT not that often! I have deleted it from the first three tokens entering HOME. I only play the tune when the FINAL TOKEN has entered HOME.
The Auto-Select and Auto-Move improvements have been completed on all card numbers except for "11". |

EGASORRY ver 1.04 :
This version corrected a glitch in the Split 7 routine. Now, if you move from a location and then want to have your other token come to the location previously occupied by
your first token, you can do it.
Also, I corrected a spelling error on one
of the "continuing on" screens.
The last improvement was to automate
card number 11.
This version of the game was released only to the GEnie system. |

EGASORRY ver 2.0
After the players sign in for the game, and the EGA graphics screen appears, the game never leaves the EGA mode - even during the SlowMode CARD DRAW. The slight pause you experience during the SlowMode Card Draw is due to the time it takes to put the SORRY board and Card onto the second page of the EGA screen.
Experienced players will find the FastMode very enjoyable. I have also included some instructions (F5) so that the new player can get acquainted.
Also, when you want to QUIT the game, by using F2, Esc, or Ctrl-C, and you really didn't want to quit, you have the second chance to get back to the game. The only QUIT command that will not get back into the game is with the < CTRL/BREAK > - that command will take you directly to the EXIT SCREEN.
Unless there are some suggested improvements to the game -as programmed thus far- this will be the last version. |
