L€ €†Ÿ!€ ‚€‚€ €‚‚‚€ €‚‚˙History Of The GameAtari ST basic versionI originally wrote "Slay" in STOS Basic on an Atari ST in 1989. It was called "Battle Hex" and had up to just four human players. All the main ideas of the game were there though, such as 4 different strengths of men, castles and money.Atari ST Assembler versionThe next version was written in 68000, again on the Atari ST, in 1990. The game was renamed "Empire" and included several new ideas. Each territory had a capital where its money was kept, (and if you captured a capital you gained all of that territory's hexagons) there were trees and mountains, and men jumped and flags waved to attract the player's attention. There was also the option for computer controlled opponents, although they weren't very intelligent (not easy to do in 68000!) The world was bigger than the screen size so a "World Map" was needed to view different areas. Also, each player had a time limit to make their moves (this was to give the computer players a chance as they were quite thick).°~cÇXÎ2 2€ý€†Ÿ!€‚€ €‚‚˙Windows 3.1 versionThis version was written in 1994 using Borland C++. It was renamed as "Slay" as there were already games written for the PC called "Empire". The main improvements were that the computer player's intelligence is vastly better than the Atari version, there is a much better random island generator, a new "Rankings" window and the computer players offer to surrender when they feel that they have lost. There are no mountains, as I found that they didn't add anything to the game, only two frames of animation for moving sprites as opposed to 4 on the Atari, and the time limit was taken out as it was unnecessary.ΨË|J b€€†Ÿ!€‚€ €‚€ €€ €€ €€ €‚˙Windows 95/98/ME/2000 versionRecompiled in Microsoft’s Visual C in May 1996, but essentially the same game as the earlier Windows 3.1 version except that the computer players’ intelligence has been further improved, there is an option for making the computer automatically move the rest of your pieces, the capital of the currently selected XÎ|˙Ćterritory flashes to remind you which territory you are using, and there is a very useful ‘undo’ feature. ľpXÎ1E X€á€†Ÿ!€‚€ ‚€‚‚€ ‚€‚‚€ ‚€‚‚˙Windows CE versionIn early 2001 I did a port for Windows Handheld and Pocket PCs. Windows Network versionI learnt how to use Windows Sockets and modified Slay so it could be played over a Network or the Internet. Up to six people can play against each other at once.Palm versionThe first version for Palm handheld devices was released in early 2004.7|h1Ë˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙ ˙˙˙˙hüThemes,1”) "€€†Ÿ!€‚˙Ýh˘1 0€ť€†Ÿ!€ ‚€‚‚‚‚˙ThemesAll the graphics and sounds used in Slay are contained in a “Theme”. The default theme is called “Medieval” but you can download or create your own themes and then change the theme in use in the “Options” menu.You can create your own custom themes by simply making a copy of the "Medieval.skn" file and the "Medieval" directory. Edit your new .skn file (it's just a text file so Notepad will do) so that the entries point to files in your newly created directory.—l”9+ $€Ů€†Ÿ!€‚‚˙All the graphics are stored in a single .bmp file within the directory. The 4 different types of men each have four different frames of animation. You must also create a "mask" picture of your new graphics (the black and white pictures at the bottom of the .bmp). Basically you want to change every colour pixel in your new image to a black pixel in its corresponding mask image, and every white pixel in your new image to a white pixel in its mask. It's also a good idea to have an outline of an extra black pixel around the mask image to make it stand out better. Do not change the size or layout of the .bmp file!Ă“˘ü0 .€'€†Ÿ!€‚‚‚‚‚‚‚˙You can create your own .wav files for sound effects. Just put them in your new directory and make sure that the entries in your .skn file point to them.You can also modify the default hexagon colour scheme by setting the Red, Green and Blue colour values for each of colour1, colour2,... colour6.See http://www.windowsgames.co.uk/slayThemes.html for new Themes which you can download for free.; 97 1ś˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙ ˙˙˙˙7 ˇ@Order Form,üc ) "€€†Ÿ!€‚˙=7   ) "€(€†Ÿ!€ ‚˙Registration Form,c Ě ) "€€†Ÿ!€‚˙Ù   * "€3€†Ÿ!€ ‚˙To receive a full copy of "Slay" either see http://www.windowsgames.co.uk to order over the Internet with a credit card at a discounted rate, or send:,Ě ť ) "€€†Ÿ!€‚˙W+  , (€V€†Ÿ!€ €‚˙UK and Europe - sean@windowsgames.co.uk&Üť 8 J b€š€‚H€ƒ‚ƒ‚ƒ‚‚€ €‚ƒ‚ƒ‚ƒ‚‚€ €‚ƒ‚ƒ‚ƒ‚‚‚‚˙Ł20 per copy to Sean O'Connor,62 Whitney Drive, Stevenage, Herts, SG1 4BJ, England.send cash, cheques or Eurocheques in UK poundsUSA - cade@roux.org$30 per copy to Cade Roux,10391 River Road, Ama, LA 70031, USA.send cash or cheques in US dollarsAustralia - feke@powerup.com.au$A50 per copy to Peter Fiechtner,11 Fischle Street, Chermside Qld. 4032, Australia.send cash or cheques in Australian dollarsName:_______________________________________ęź ". *€y€‚H€‚‚‚‚‚‚‚‚‚˙Address:_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________{S8 ( €Ś€‚H€ €‚˙Out of interest, where did you see the demo version of "Slay" (please specify)?("Ĺ% €€‚H€‚˙Ȍ< F€€„8U€ƒƒƒƒ‚‚ƒƒƒƒ‚‚ƒƒ‚‚ƒƒƒƒ‚˙ Magazine__________________ Web site__________________ Shareware CD-ROM__________________ Other__________________*š' €€„8U€ ‚˙œi_@3 6€Ň€ „8U€ €€ €€ ‚˙If you have a printerˇ_@ü, this form can be printed out by clicking on Print Topic from the File menu.,ˇ‹@) "€€†Ÿ!€‚˙,_@ˇ@) "€€†Ÿ!€‚˙1‹@˙˙˙˙1˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙ ˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙ěă (Times New RomanArialTimes New Roman CETimes New Roman CyrTimes New Roman GreekTimes New Roman TurTimes New Roman (Hebrew)Times New Roman (Arabic)Times New Roman Baltic04˙0˙0˙˙˙˙˙˙ƒz Đ˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙ ˙˙˙˙óěOx€˝†>„ …Ű́=4́˝†>„ó…ŰěĐOpx€/&;)F24˙˙ ( ˙˙˙˙AttackingCombining menContentsCredits HintsHistoryIntelligenceMoneyNew Game Order Form$The information window(Themes,Trees0/&;)Lz˙˙=˙˙˙˙ContentsěMoneyx€TreeśAttacking˝†Combining menThe information windowóHintsĐNew GameŰIntelligence>„Credits…HistorypThemesOOrder Form€/&;)L4˙˙  ˙˙˙˙xœĚ\ÜĐÚ0Đ3ó8Ně˙zOÁŰx€ƒA€ ˝†bÝ*%>„ŠUô%Ŕ÷%5…vp@pg™2GŰ
