Typing Arcade: ======================================================================== This program is (C) Copyright 1992 Jim Patterson. German version (C) Copyright 1994 by Stephan Wacker. This version contains a German interface as well as the English original. They are selected according to your Language Preferences. The German interface is adapted to an old black German keyboard with a slight modifiction: The key next to the backspace key should return single quotes instead of accents. If your keyboard is diferent you should look into the Arcade.nib and Localizable.strings file in the appropriate .lproj folder. Most (I dare not say `all' :) changes in the code are marked with my initials `SW'. Distributed with kind permission of the author (see below). Send all bug reports to me and don't bother Jim Patterson or Laurent Amon. Stephan Wacker <stephan@rodion.muc.de> ======================================================================== THE ORIGINAL README: Arcade is a small typing tutor in the form of an arcade game. Letters are falling, and you can destroy them before they hit the bottom by typing the correct key. You can choose the set of keys you want to play with (home keys, letters only, whole keyboard,...). Since I have received a good number of requests for it on the Usenet, here it is. Though I am not the author, I have the author's permission to distribute it. I'm distributing this for Jim Patterson, who wrote it as a class project. Jim is only infrequently on the net, so this program is delivered 'as is', without any guarantees (insert legalese). This program is (C) Copyright 1992 Jim Patterson. It can be distributed freely as long as the source and all files are included in this distribution. You can modify and transform this program as long as you distribute freely the modified code, under the same conditions and that the name of the author remains on all files present in the original distribution. This code is not to be used for commercial applications without the author's express consent. (Insert more legalese, that's not my forte). Finally, nobody's maintaining this program, so if you want to do it, you're welcome. Laurent Amon (amon@cs.stanford.edu) Now let's hear a few words from Jim: It's late, and I'm tired, and instructions are online (under INFO...INSTRUCTIONS from the main menu), so try it out and I hope you like it. By the way, loading the program and starting a new game take some time, so be patient. Jim Patterson
