		       BATTLE II

Battle II is my best program yet, although it is 
unfortunately the largest as well.  The quality of the
game makes up for its size, however, so you should enjoy
it.  The speed is ok as well.

Features:
	1 - Two combat modes
	2 - Two save game slots
	3 - Advanced game settings
	4 - A special combat training program
	5 - High Score list with initials
	6 - Help menu
	7 - Good graphics (for a BASIC program)
	8 - Complete compatability with TI-83 or 83+


The object of the game is to fight through Baron 
Mordon's army against overwhelming numbers, find the
treacherous Baron, and kill him.  The first time you
play, I would suggest going straight through his army by
the shortest path and kill the Baron.  After you beat
him the first time you can try to eliminate his whole
army for a higher score, but I wouldn't try it until
then.  Also, you simply MUST try the training program
before the actual game to get used to combat.  Otherwise
you will die again and again and become very frustrated.
After you mess around with training a while, delete
prgmTRAINING and send battle2.83g to your calculator.


I have, of course, included the keys in the help menu,
but for anyone too lazy to look, here they are:

		    Combat Keys
		    [2nd]=strike
		   [ALPHA]=block
		  [>]=draw sword*
		   [MATH]=pause**

		  Battlefield keys
		   Arrows move***
		   [MODE]=options

*you can only draw your sword in a shoot-out
**there is no teacher key.  I don't want BATTLE II
	banned from classrooms, so just don't play it in
	class if you don't want to get caught.  The real
	reason I left it out is actually to reduce
	program size and increase speed, but that's my
	excuse.  
***you can't move backwords.  A brave warrior like you
	wouldn't retreat, and isn't dumb enough to turn
	his back on the enemy anyway (real reason same
	as above).



	  Keys for settings (not in help menu)
	Up and down arrows select option to set
     Left and right arrows set the selected option
		  [ENTER] continues


Known Bugs :-(
	1 - messages write over the potions display


Version history :-*

	The original Battle :
		A slow game of poor quality (one of my
		very first programs) that I simply
		scrapped because it would be almost
		impossible to de-bug.  If you REALLY
		want it, you can ask me to e-mail it to
		you at the address I will give later

	Version 1.0
		full of bugs and no save game feature

	Version 1.1
		added save game feature, added settings
		bars, made it compatible with a TI-83+,
		fixed known bugs

	Version 1.2
		added way to get more arrows, fixed high
		scores feature, fixed known bugs (but 
		found more)

	Version 1.3
		added second save game slot, added a way
		get more health, made it so you keep
		your saved game after beating Mordon,
		fixed known bugs (but found more)

	Version 1.4
		let you collect potions, adjusted
		starting values for settings, fixed bug
		where it displays v1.0 after help menu,
		fixed score display, increased movement
		rate

Future versions :-)
	1 - Fix bugs
	2 - Suggestions I receive from from gamers ;-)

Other games :-)
	1 - Canyon Skimmer - Race through canyons and
			     destroy your enemies!

	2 - Racing - an excellent racing game with 3
		     speeds!

	3 - Pingpong - a pong like game, except that you
		       play against a computer opponent!

	4 - MathRaid - A fun way to practice
		       multiplication.  A must for small
		       siblings (or children).

Useful programs:
	1 - Mixed Numbers - Displays fractions in mixed
			    number format

	2 - Square Factors - Displays all factors of a
			     number that are also a
			     square number

	3 - Inverse T - Displays upper and lower
			critical values for t-tests

	4 - Probability of Error - Displays the
				   probability of type
				   1 and 2 errors and
				   the power of the test
				   for z-tests

If you actually want the original Battle, if you have
any suggestions for BATTLE II or other programs (new or 
existing), or if you want to report a bug, PLEASE email
me at fritzophrenic@hotmail.com  No-one has done so yet!
