Brain Drain Door Game Version 1.4

Try to find all the 3-5 letter words in the 4X4 matrix.  Sounds easy, but you'd be amazed at how many words are in some of the puzzles!

Players are ranked on overall percentage of words found as well as total words found.  However most players seem to enjoy trying to beat the computer more than each other.

The game will show all words found and highlight those missed.

The sysop can configure how long each game can last as well as whether or not to show how many words are in the puzzle.  Also configurable is whether or not to allow players to add words to the dictionary (not recommended).

Included is a utility that will scan a text file for 3-5 letter words to add to the dictionary. 

Another utility will search the dictionary for duplicate words, sort it, and otherwise set it up for use.   It should be run any time there has been a modification to the dictionary.

Current version is 16-bit only.
Price $15.00 U.S.
