TIHex is a two player strategy game, featuring beautiful
grayscale graphics and a nice user interface. Connect your hexes
to beat the other player.
Only one can win!


I. Installation
***************
System requirements:
	TI-92plus or Voyage200 PLT
	20 kB of free RAM
	OS Version 2.00 or higher (not tested below)

a) without Integrated Desktop by Olivier Armand
 To install TIHex, just send the file "tihex.9xz" and  "tihex.9xy" for the TI-92plus 
or "tihex.v2z" and "tihex.v2y" for the Voyage200 PLT with TIConnect(r) or an other
linking program to your calculator.
It's recommended to archive them to save RAM on your calculator.

To play TIHex, just type in tihex() into the command line of your
Home Screem.

b) with Integrated Desktop by Olivier Armand
 See above, but provided that you have already the file "id.9xz" on
your calculator, just replace the (perhaps) existing file 
"idicons.9xz" with the file "idicons.9xz" for the TI-92plus 
or "idicons.v2z" for the Voyage200 PLT from the ID directory in
the zip package. Reinstall ID and you can start TIHex from your
Desktop.


II. Gameplay
************
a) Keys
 Keys                        |  Function
--------------------------------------------------
[ENTER]                      |  Yes / Set
[ESC]                        |	No / Quit
[LEFT],[RIGHT],[UP] & [DOWN] |  Move cursor
[+] / [-]                    |  Increase / decrease contrast
[g]                          |  Open 'Options' - menu
[a]                          |  Show 'About' - screen
[u]                          |  Undo
[APPS]                       |  Switch the calc off (Teacher key)

b) Playing / Goal of the game
 The game will start when the program is started. To start a new game, 
open the 'Options' - menu and press [s].
Player 1 is dark gray, player 2 is white (or see the right upper 
corner for knowing who is playing). Each player sets a hex after
another with the goal to make a connection between his side (there is
arrow pointing to it) and the opposite one. The one who has finished
his connection wins the game (there is no possibility of a deuce!).
There is only one level of undoing.
