1 1.2 cgd $NetBSD: README,v 1.2 1995/03/21 12:14:21 cgd Exp $ 2 1.1 jtc 3 1.1 jtc Bog is a fairly portable simulation of Parker Brother's game of Boggle and 4 1.1 jtc is similar to the 4.[23] BSD "boggle" and Sun's "boggletool". 5 1.1 jtc Bog has not been derived from any proprietary code. 6 1.1 jtc It has been tested on the Sun 3 under SunOS 3.2 and on the Atari 1040ST (MWC). 7 1.1 jtc 8 1.1 jtc What You Need 9 1.1 jtc 10 1.1 jtc You will need curses/termcap and a large word list. 11 1.1 jtc The minix word list or /usr/dict/words will do nicely. 12 1.1 jtc The word list must already be sorted (you can use "sort -c" to check). 13 1.1 jtc 14 1.1 jtc Contents 15 1.1 jtc 16 1.1 jtc README - this file 17 1.1 jtc Makefile 18 1.1 jtc bog.man - half-hearted man page (use the game's help command) 19 1.1 jtc bog.h - configuration and header info 20 1.1 jtc bog.c - machine independent game code 21 1.1 jtc word.c - machine independent word list routines 22 1.1 jtc help.c - (curses) help routine 23 1.1 jtc mach.c - (curses) display code 24 1.1 jtc prtable.c - ditto 25 1.1 jtc timer.c - machine dependent (os) input polling 26 1.1 jtc mkdict.c - convert a word list to a bog dictionary 27 1.1 jtc mkindex.c - create an index file for the bog dictionary 28 1.1 jtc showdict.c - print a bog dictionary to stdout 29 1.1 jtc 30 1.1 jtc Portability 31 1.1 jtc 32 1.1 jtc - I've tried to make bog.c (the program logic) independent of the I/O. 33 1.1 jtc My plan was to make it straightforward to adapt the game to run under a 34 1.1 jtc windowing system (eg., Suntools, GEM). I have no plan to actually do this. 35 1.1 jtc I've stuck to a small subset of the curses routines. 36 1.1 jtc - The program runs with the input in raw mode. 37 1.1 jtc - If you want the running timer you must #define TIMER in bog.h 38 1.1 jtc and insert the input polling code in timer.c for your system. There is 39 1.1 jtc already code there for BSD, SYSV, and ATARI. 40 1.1 jtc 41 1.1 jtc Setup 42 1.1 jtc 43 1.1 jtc 1. Check bog.h and Makefile and edit to fit your environment 44 1.1 jtc 2. "make all" 45 1.1 jtc This will make all the binaries and create the dictionary and index files 46 1.1 jtc 3. Move "dict", "dict.ind", and "helpfile" to where you specified in bog.h 47 1.1 jtc 4.
