CrossWise
This is a Words Game
Mactivity's CD-ROM nr 10 advice: This application did
run on a b/w 68030 processor under System 7.1. It was
also tested on a big ColorScreen of a PowerMacintosh
running System 7.1.2. The game was also tested on a
Quadra with 68040 processor and a 13 inch Color Screen
and System 7.1 by Mactivity.
Start CrossWise from the Finder like any other Macintosh
application: either double-click the "crossed-arrows"
icon or select it and then choose "Open"
from the File menu. If you're using one of the several
Finder substitutes on the market, you'll have to consult
your manual. It takes a few seconds for CrossWise to
load its dictionaries. While it's doing so, you'll
see an advisory telling you that CrossWise is, indeed,
copyrighted-NOT in the public domain-the current registration
fee, and where to send it. When the advisory disappears,
the main CrossWise window will appear. Occupying most
of the upper-right portion of it is the playing board.
This is a 12 X 12 grid with smaller versions of the
crossed-arrows icon on some of the squares. Directly
below it is the tile tray. It should have seven "tiles"-
rectangles with letters-in it, with some room on either
side for rearranging them. In the upper-left of the
window are the player name fields and the score fields.
These will be filled in with a gray pattern until
players are named. Beneath the player name fields
is the CrossWise logo. To its bottom, left is the
timer. If the copy you received has retained the default
settings, it will read "3:00." If not, don't
worry about it. I'll tell you how to change it later,
if you want to. To the right are three buttons. The
top one looks like an abacus. It's used to score plays.
Below it is the "pass" button. It looks
like a pointing hand. Below it is a button resembling
an open dictionary graced with the ubiquitous crossed-arrows
symbol. That's the "look-up" button. You'll
be using that one to look up words in the dictionary.
If you've opened CrossWise as described above, you'll
notice that none of the buttons, tiles, timer, etc.,
respond to mouse clicks. This is normal. CrossWise
is working correctly. IMPORTANT: No game can begin,
and nothing will respond, until players are named.
