BIBLE JUMBLES 1 is released as "Shareware". It is not free. If
you like it and use it beyond a 30 day trial period, please reg-
ister it. The registration fee is $16.00 (U.S.). You can use the
registration form or order form that should be on the disk. Or
just send a check or money order to:
King Software
1200 Jones Drive
Salem, Ohio 44460
For a more complete discussion of the shareware concept, see the
last part of this document. Those who register will receive the
latest version of the game without the opening and closing share-
ware screens, and a list of the names used in the game.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
BIBLE JUMBLES 1 - NAMES is a game where you figure out what Bible
name is jumbled up. To start the game, change to the drive and
directory where the game is. You must be in the same directory,
or you will get an error message. For example, you cannot from
the C:> prompt type "A:bnamess", it will not run. Switch to drive
A: and then type "bnamess". The game will work from either your
hard drive or a floppy disk. To install on your hard drive, just
copy the EXE file to the drive and directory of your choice.
The shareware version EXE file is called bnamess.exe. The EXE
file in the registered version is bnamesr.exe. The two versions
are the same except that the registered version does not have the
opening and closing shareware screens.
After the opening screen disapears, you have five choices:
A The entire Bible, B Old Testament only, C New Testament only,
D Women of the Bible, or ESCAPE to exit. Make your choice and
you are ready to play.
You will be given a jumbled name to figure out and three chances
to do so. You will notice in the lower right side of the screen
a visual clue telling whether the jumble is from the Old Testament
or the New. Just type in your guess. You can use the backspace
and insert keys to edit your answer. Then hit the ENTER key. If
you are incorrect, another clue will appear on the right side of
the screen giving the first letter of the name. You have two more
chances. At the end of each turn, your score is totaled and you
are given the choice of continuing or exiting. The game lasts
twelve turns. (I settled on twelve because it seemed like a good
Biblical number, the twelve tribes of Israel, and the twelve
Apostles.)
Scoring: On the first try, the jumble is worth points equalling
twice the length of the jumble. (A five letter jumble is worth
ten points.) On the second try, the jumble is worth half the
original points (or the same amount of points as there are letters.
On the third try, the jumble is worth a third of the points that
it was worth on try one, rounded down. For example, an eleven
letter jumble would be worth 22 points on try one, 11 points on
try two, and 5 points on try three. In addition, there are
bonus points for getting them right in streaks. The bonus points
continue to grow with each correct answer till on the twelvth
correct answer you could get 48 bonus points if you got the answer
on the first try. However, miss once and you start over.
There are no three letter names in the game (That would be too
easy.), so you will not find Eve or Job. Nor did I include names
that have hyphens, so no Tubal-Cain, Bar-Jesus, or (and this hurt)
Tiglath-Pileser. The names are of people, except for the angels
Gabriel and Michael. I did not include the pagan gods. And I
did not feel it to be reverent to jumble up the names of Jesus or
Jehovah. I tried to not include obscure names only mentioned in
lists of begats or the greetings of Pauls letters. But I did try
to be educational. So I included all of the Kings of Israel and
Judah, except Asa and Elah. (Elah has the same letters as Leah.)
Also included are all the Judges. (I think.) If two names had the
same letters like Leah and Elah, I kept the more prominent one. So
you will find Laban instead of Nabal, and Ishmael instead of Mishael.
Old Testament characters mentioned in the New Testament are in the
game treated as Old Testament characters. Only Melchizedek was a
problem here since he is mentioned much more in the New Testament
than in the Old. The angels Gabriel and Michael appeared in both
Testaments, and so appear twice in the game. Names that appear in
both Testaments with different people appear twice in the game.
These include Joseph, Levi, Simeon, Saul, and Zechariah. In the
game they have different references and the O.T. or N.T. visual
clue will be different.
The game was programmed with Borland's Turbo C and GENUS' GX
Series Developer's Pak.
If you find any misspellings in my references or names, please
bring them to my attention, and I will correct them in the game.
Please enjoy and learn. - Jerry King

DEFINITION OF SHAREWARE
Shareware distribution gives users a chance to try software
before buying it. If you try a Shareware program and continue
using it, you are expected to register. Individual programs
differ on details -- some request registration while others
require it, some specify a maximum trial period. With
registration, you get anything from the simple right to continue
using the software to an updated program with printed manual.
Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and commercial software,
and the copyright holder retains all rights, with a few specific
exceptions as stated below. Shareware authors are accomplished
programmers, just like commercial authors, and the programs are
of comparable quality. (In both cases, there are good programs
and bad ones!) The main difference is in the method of
distribution. The author specifically grants the right to copy
and distribute the software, either to all and sundry or to a
specific group. For example, some authors require written
permission before a commercial disk vendor may copy their
Shareware.
Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. You
should find software that suits your needs and pocketbook,
whether it's commercial or Shareware. The Shareware system makes
fitting your needs easier, because you can try before you buy.
And because the overhead is low, prices are low also. Shareware
has the ultimate money-back guarantee -- if you don't use the
product, you don't pay for it.
DISCLAIMER - AGREEMENT
Users of BIBLE JUMBLES 1 must accept this disclaimer of warranty:
"BIBLE JUMBLES 1 is supplied as is. The author disclaims all
warranties, expressed or implied, including, without limitation,
the warranties of merchantability and of fitness for any purpose.
The author assumes no liability for damages, direct or conse-
quential, which may result from the use of BIBLE JUMBLES 1."
BIBLE JUMBLES 1 is a "shareware program" and is provided at no
charge to the user for evaluation. Feel free to share it with your
friends, but please do not give it away altered or as part of
another system. The essence of "user-supported" software is to
provide personal computer users with quality software without
high prices, and yet to provide incentive for programmers to
continue to develop new products. If you find this program
useful and find that you are using BIBLE JUMBLES 1 and continue to
use it after a reasonable trial period, you must make a reg-
istration payment of $16.00 to KING SOFTWARE. The $16.00
registration fee will license one copy for use on any one
computer at any one time. You must treat this software just like
a book. An example is that this software may be used by any
number of people and may be freely moved from one computer
location to another, so long as there is no possibility of it
being used at one location while it's being used at another.
Just as a book cannot be read by two different persons at the
same time.
You are encouraged to pass a copy of BIBLE JUMBLES 1 along to your
friends for evaluation. Please encourage them to register their
copy if they find that they can use it. All registered users
will receive a copy of the latest version of BIBLE JUMBLES 1, that
does not have the opening and closing shareware screens. Registered
users will also receive a list of the names used in BIBLE JUMBLES 1.
You may also feel free to upload BIBLE JUMBLES 1 to Christian BBS's.
(Or other BBS's for that matter.) Please distribute only the
shareware version to BBS's and to your friends. Thank you!
