---- DESCRIPTION  ----------------------------------------------------------


        EPPuzzle is a very simple  and easy game.  It  generates 15
    random words and places them in a 15x15 block of random letters.
    These words  can  placed  in  the  puzzle diagonally, backwards,
    forwards,  vertical, horizontal or  any combination.  The object
    of the game is to  find all of  the words  listed down the right
    side of the puzzle in the block letters.
        When you find a word  click on the first letter,  the box at
    the top  will display the  letter and the button for that letter
    stays down.  When you click on the next letter  in the word it's
    displayed in  the top box and it's button stays down also.  When
    you've clicked on  all the letters the  word is removed from the
    list of words on  the right,  all the  buttons for that word are
    released and your ready to start on the next word. If you make a
    mistake and click on the wrong letter then click on the  top box
    that spells out the word or the box that says CLEAR  and all the
    buttons will  be  released so you  can start again.  When and if
    there are  later releases  the CLEAR  button will be removed and
    just the picked  display button will be used for mistakes.

------- FUTURE ADDITIONS ----------------------------------------------------

        The future of this game depends on you.  If you send in your
    registration fee then future upgrades  will be possible. If not
    other projects will get the  programing time. It depends on you!
    Here's a list of possible upgrade additions.

        The option of printing the puzzles with the answers.

        The option to create your own puzzle using the words that
        you choose.
         ( This option could be used to create puzzles with a persons
           childs spelling words. Then let the child spell the out
           the words from the puzzle. )

        Printing to the printer or the clipboard.
         ( The addition of printing to the clipboard would be very
          nice for creating newspaper or news letter like games
          or even word puzzle books.)

        Better checking of the clicked on letters.
          ( The way the puzzle is setup now you don't have to click
            on the letters in the word order. For example the word
            LETTERS you can click on the L and then the second E
            then TT and the first E then RS and it will be the same
            as clicking on LETTERS in that order.)

 = VERSION 2 ADDITIONS ===================================================

      The print function has been added. The printing works but has
no cancel requester and is only setup for three resolutions. The
resolutions are 180x180 360x360 and 720x720. It's setup to print
at 180x180 with out any changes. To change to a higher resolution
from the puzzle screen save a puzzle named the higher resolution.
An example would be 360.PUZ would print a puzzle in 360x360 and
720.PUZ will print a puzzle 720x720. In future updates there will
hopefully be a select printer, cancel printing, and print resolution
requester. If you change from 360 to 720 printer resolution then
you have to remove the old 360.PUZ file. If you save a file for
higher resolution then to go back to 180x180 resolution remove
the 360.PUZ or 720.PUZ  file.

      The option for Editing or personalized puzzles has been added.
The words are limited to 10 charatures and there are 10 words.
Type in the words that you want but don't press enter until you've
added all you want to add. Check the spelling and what ever else you
need to do before pressing enter. If you accidently press enter before
your done then you will have to reenter the words.
