  Subj: Minehunt II turbo (an HP48 game)
  Date: Tue Apr 30 1991

My long-awaited rewrite of HP's minehunt game available on the
Equation Library Card.  I call it: Minehunt II turbo

Ok, here is a description of the game

Minehunt II turbo
----------------------
This game is essentially a rewrite of the minehunt game that comes
on the Equation Library card.  I rewrote it to have 286 little
squares, rather than only 128.  It also has a help file so you can
figure out how to play the thing.

There are three programs that you should be interested in.  (The
other programs in the directory are my way of implementing subroutines.)

START: This program will start a game of Minehunt II with the current
           configuration.  It will run a short initialization, then ask
           you at what level you would like to start.  In general, the
           level * 10 is (for the most part) the percentage of the screen
           that will be filled with mines.  I will explain the difference
           between the two configurations in the CONFIG description.

HELP:  This file does what you would expect it to do: it tells you all
           about the game, the object of the game, the movement controls,
           and it even has a little subtle animation on the last screen!
           You should read this file before playing the game, or you will
           probably be lost.

CONFIG: You should run this program before pressing START for the first
           time because I don't remember what configuration I posted the
           game in.  This program will give you two menu keys, NORM and
           TURBO.  Just press the key to configure the game.

           The two configurations work like:

           NORM:  This configuration runs slower than the TURBO version,
                        but sets up sooner.  Configure NORM if you want to play
                        right away, but don't mind a slower game.

       TURBO: This configuration does a lot of the processing before you
                        start playing, making the game run a lot quicker, but
                        requiring more time to set up.  Configure TURBO if
                        you don't mind waiting a bit and you want to play a
                        faster game.

Well, that's about it, oh yeah, DISCLAIMER(YAWN): I accept no responsibility
if this game crashes your memory, or if you fail your CHEM exam because you
were playing this game instead of studying, or any other consequences of
using this program.

Hope you all enjoy it!
