sHACKERS
========
sHACKERS is a game directly based on the HACKERS game on the TI-83+. The point
of it is to provide a version for the TI-83 that is a lot smaller than the
original. The size of version 1.2 is 5387B.

HACKERS is a decent game on the 83+. It fits nicely into the 24+160 KB of RAM.
But at 8566B, it is a bit big for a TI-83, with only the 24KB of unarchivable
RAM, considering that you'd want other programs as well.
NB: on the 83+, HACKERS registers as taking up 8606B. The figure given is from
 a direct port using TI-GRAPH LINK 83+ and TI-GRAPH LINK 83

When I took a look at the HACKERS code, I could see many space wasting methods.
I began cutting it down, calling the result sHACKERS. It still has most of the
original interface, all of the original gameplay, but on my first session of
cutting the code down, I removed 2KB of superfluous code. I'm trying to
economise the code in as little space as possible. As a result, the save game
feature has been cut down to 1 save game instead of the original 5. Other games
can be stored manually (see below).

sHACKERS is by no means at its most minimal form, but I certainly hope it is
getting there.

sAVED GAMES
-----------
Saved games from HACKERS can be used with sHACKERS without trouble, but
sHACKERS will only load from or save to the list HKSV, so you need to rename
the lists. This is the same method for storing multiple saved games.

To store more than one saved game, quit all programs, then press
	[2nd] [STAT]
and select the list HKSV. Then type
	[STO>] [2nd] [STAT] (select HKSV)
and hit a number, then [ENTER]. This will store HKSV in another list, called
HKSV#, where # is the number you put in.

To restore a saved game, do the same thing, but the other way around, so you
select the list HKSV# first, then the list HKSV. sHACKERS is now able to load
that game.

Thank you for downloading the game "HACKERS", written by Bryan Grzeck. 

The game pretty much explains itself, and is a little different from the
one I released a while ago. It has new names, and updates prices. The
layout is different as well.

Enjoy, I would also like to thank z3r0 c00l for his comments and advice
on enhancing my game, thanks.
