| Overview | STATES is an educational game whereby you select one of the 50 United States and the computer asks you a series of questions in an attempt to guess the State you selected. |
| Non-Registered Restrictions |
- Games per day limited to 1 - Makeup days disabled - Game time limit disabled - Allow Sysop to play unlimited number of games disabled - Allow Player to Send and Read Messages from the Door Message Center |
| Installation | (1) Create a directory to hold all files (2) Unzip the archive into the above directory (3) MOVE the WCX file to your WC5 directory and delete it from the directory created in step (1) (4) Create a menu entry to run the wcBASIC Door and you MUST pass the FULL drive:\path of the directory as a command line parameter when defining the Door on the menu. An example follows: Program Name: STATES Parameter: c:\wc5\doors\STATES (5) Modify the supplied CFG file. A description follows: |

| Usage Log | As an option, we provide you with the ability to log every player to a text file. IF you enter Y in the CFG file to log callers, the Door will place the caller's name as well as the ON and OFF times each time a caller selects the Door. A separate file will be created for each Node and the name of the file will be USAGEx, where x is the Node number. You may delete these files at any time and the Door will recreate them the next time a caller enters the Door. If you do NOT want to continue logging callers, change the CFG file entry to N. |
| Make-Up-Days | The Make-Up-Day feature allows the caller to make up any plays he/she missed during the current month and prior to the current call. You control whether to allow this option, as well as the number of days the caller can make up, on any particular days worth of calls. Entering a 0 (zero) for this option, in the configuration file, turns the option OFF, any other value (up to a max of 27) turns the option ON and dictates the number of days the caller can make up. NOTE: The number of games per day is calculated as follows... Games Allowed per day x Number of makeup days. Example: Games Allowed per day = 2 Max # of makeup days = 4 If a caller logs in on 5/8/01 and this is their first call of the month, they would have a potential of 16 games to makeup and bring them current (8 days (5/8/92) * 2 (games per day)). However, since the maximum # of Makeup Days is set at 4, the maximum # of games the caller can play on 5/8/92, is 8 (games allowed * max # of makeup days). |
| Adopt-A-Door | The concept, ADOPT-A-DOOR, allows a caller to register (ADOPT) a door. It would be the same as sending in a donation, only this way it is earmarked for registering a particular door. In a way, the user feels he/she is "getting something in return". As a Door author I have decided to build this concept into each of my Door programs. The concept replaces the usual message "tell the Sysop to register this Door" we find in most doors. If the Door is unregistered then a message appears on the opening screen to that effect. After finishing or suspending a game, a message screen is displayed about the ADOPT-A-DOOR concept. The message also tells the caller to contact the Sysop to find out if there is any further details to the ADOPT-A-DOOR concept. Some Sysops give extra D/L time, online time, etc to callers that ADOPT-A-DOOR. If the Door has been registered, either by the Sysop or other callers, the names of those contributors will be displayed in the closing screen. NOTE: If you want to display the names of the callers that contributed to registering the Door, you must create an ASCII file called ADOPT.SYS. You create it with an ASCII text editor. Enter the names of the contributors (one on each line, maximum of 5 entries, each a maximum of 30 characters long). This file must be saved, in ASCII format, and placed in the Door directory. |

| Distribution | You may make this file available for downloading from your BBS or you may upload it to any BBS or WEB site of your choice, provided that you do not make any changes to the contents of the archive (ZIP/EXE file). The archive and its individual contents may not be used by any service that charges any money whatsoever, without the written permission of the author. |
| Registration | Registration and the subsequent insertion of the registration number into your configuration file, allows for the display of your BBS name on the opening and closing screen as well as the reduction of a delay built into the opening screen display along with the ability to change certain values in the configuration file. Once a door is registered, any changes to registration information (Sysop name or BBS Name) will require the doors to be re-registered at the registration fee in effect at that time. Be sure to use the proper upper/lower case when filling in your name and BBS name, as they MUST match the way you entered them in the configuration file. |
| Misc. | The latest version this product, along with and other fine DOOR and HOME EDITION products are always available for download from this web site. |
