Ghost 10 C

Ghost is a classic word-building game for two or more players. Players take turns each adding a letter to build a word, and whoever finishes the word loses the round. Lose five rounds, and you become a "ghost" and are out of the game! Up to five human players can compete against up to five computer players at a variety of skill levels. Ghost is free and is distributed under the GNU General Public License; this archive contains complete THINK C source code for the game, as well as complete source code for an external application used to set up the game's self- integrity checker. If you do not have FTP access, e-mail the author requesting a copy of the game, the source code, or a list of other programs by the same author. The address is f8dy@netaxs.com. Bug reports, comments, and suggestions may be sent to the same address. This archive contains both THINK C 5 and THINK C 6 project files. Use whichever one you wish and throw away the other. The code demonstrates the basics of event handling, menus, hierarchical menus, prefs file maintenance, dialogs, alerts, windows, off-screen bitmaps, synchronous and asynchronous sounds, machine-independent timing loops, file maintenance, Gestalt environment checking, apple events, and the not-quite- yet-famous "cough to continue" modal dialog filter proc. None of this is very well commented, but feel free to direct any questions to f8dy@netaxs.com. Ghost 1.0 is copyright 1993, Mark Pilgrim, MerriMac Software Group.
