LOADING INSTRUCTIONS

1)  When the Insert Workbench prompt appears, put Disk #1 in DF0:
(NOTE: The disk MUST be in DF0:).

OR

2)  Boot Workbench and put Disk #1 in DF0: (NOTE: The disk MUST be in DF0:).
Double-click on the Hole-In-One disk icon to open the disk window, then 
doubole-click on the Hole-In-One program icon to start the program.

DO NOT INSERT DISK #2 AT THIS TIME.

PLEASE NOTE:  If you want to print scores and do not have an Epson compatible
printer, you should start the program from WorkBench and select your printer from
Preferences.

THE COURSE SELECTION SCREEN

After the program boots, you will see the Course Selection screen.  Now you
may insert Disk #2 or an extra course disk in any drive and another course
selection screen will appear.  To select a course, position the mouse over the
course you wish to play and click the left mouse button.

PLEASE NOTE:  Hole-In-One will automatically default to any extra course disk 
and the course selection screen from that disk will be shown.  If you wish to 
return from an extra course disk to the original Disk #1, you must first remove 
the extra course disk.  Then eject Disk #1 and immediately reinsert it.  
You will see Disk #1's Course Selection screen.

THE TUTORIAL

Besides the four courses included in your Hole-In-One package, we have provided 
an instructional Tutorial.  the Tutorial is a simple course designed to 
familiarize you with the game.  It will explain all the menu options in Hole-In-One 
and give you a chance to practice.  Please play the Tutorial first (we worked 
very hard on it).

THE PLAYER SELECTION SCREEN

Once you have selected a course, an introduction screen will appear and you 
may choose from 1 to 4 players.  To select the number of players, position 
the mouse over the desired number and click the left mouse button.

THE MENU BAR

Once you have slected a course and number of players, the first hole of the 
selected course will appear and the game is ready to begin.  Important 
information appears in the Menu Bar at the top of the screen.  the Menu 
Bar displays the current hole you are on, the par for each hole (par is 
the number of shots it should take an average player to make the hole), 
and the player whose turn it is.  Also watch the Menu Bar for important 
instructions during game play, such as"Place Ball", which means that you 
should place your ball upon the starting pad.

GAME MENUS

Hole-In-One Miniature Golf is a multi-tasking program that uses pull down 
menus and requesters in the normal way.  This manual assumes that you are 
familiar with the use of pull down menus.  If not, please refer to the 
manual that came with your computer. We will examine each of the menus 
and their options.

The Project Menu

The following are options at the Project Menu:

Score - If you select the option SCORE, you will be shown your scoreboard.  
At this screen, you may print the scores on your printer.  You may also 
enter or change the name, Hole-In-One will refer to the players as 
PLAYER 1, PLAYER 2, etc.
However, if you enter your name(s), the computer will signal each player 
by name when it is his or her turn.  This is a nice feature when there 
are several players.  If you have entered your names, the printout will 
also list each player's real name with their score.  Remember, if you do 
not have an Epson compatible printer, you must load the game from WorkBench 
as explained in the Loading Instructions.  This has proven rather important 
in our interoffice tournaments.  Once you have finished at the Score option, 
select EXIT SCORES to begin or resume your game.

Replay - Selecting the option Replay will let you see your last shot over 
again, without affecting the game (just like instant replay at a football 
game).  This is useful in analyzing "what went wrong".

Retry - This option allows you to try the last shot over.  This is useful 
for mastering the more difficult shots.  In addition, you can "back track" 
your shots on a particular hole all the way back to the starting pad.  
This allows you to figure the best approach to each hole.  Retry is the 
key to mastering this game and to mopping the floor with the next opponent.

PLEASE NOTE:  Retry is a practice feature, and does not work if there are 
two or more players.

About - This is a small plug for the authors, Charles Carter and Scott Cribbs.
We at DigiTek feel they deserve it.

Quit - This takes you back to the Course Selection Screen, so that youy may
play a different course or insert a new course disk.


THE OPTIONS MENU

There are four choices at the Options Menu:

Sound - Toggles the game sounds on/off.

Continue - If the option Continue is selected (checked), Hole-In-One will 
prompt you before going to the next player.  Otherwise, Hole-In-One 
automatically goes to the next player.

Expert - This toggles the line that appears when you are about to take a shot. 
Without the line, it is more difficult to aim your shots.  We recommend even 
if you are an experienced player that you play your first games with the Expert 
Toggle off.  The line gives you a better "feel" for the interface.

Next - This option allows you to advance without finishing a hole.  Since it 
is intended as a practice feature, if selected you will receive a nine (9) 
stroke penalty.


THE CONTOUR MENU

Some holes have different elevations to make them more challenging.  On the 
screen, a lighter color represents a higher elevation, and a darker color a 
lower one.  This is more easily understood by playing the Tutorial Course on 
Disk #1.  The importance of the Tutorial Course cannot be emphasized enough.
At the Contour Menu, you can see the course from different perspectives.

Direction - Use this option to select the desired perspective(s).  A check 
mark shows that a view is selected.

Contour - Once you have all the views you desire selected, this option will 
open windows on the screen displaying the different perspectives.  To close 
the windows, click with the left mouse button in the playing field.  
the Contour menu is only available on some holes (when it is needed).


GAME PLAY

You are now ready to begfin your first game.  The game play is controlled 
entirely with the mouse.  Place the ball on the starting pad of the first 
hole and click the left mouse button.  Once you have placed the ball, "strech" 
a line from the ball to the pointer.  The direction the line is pointing is 
the direction the ball will go.  The length of the line or distance between 
the pointer and the ball is relative to the amount of power on the shot.  
In other words, the longer the line, the stronger the shot.  Once you have 
decided upon the direction and the power, click the left mouse button to 
"putt" the ball.  This is the easiest interface ever conceived (we'd like 
to think).  This is well demonstrated in the Tutorial Course.  Be careful, 
because shooting too hard is the biggest mistake new players make.  
You are allowed to go three shots over par, but any more than that and you 
will get the "Over Stroke Limit" message.  Also an additional one (1) stroke 
penalty will be given and you must advance to the next hole (or player).  
You will also be given a one (1) stroke penalty if you land in a water hazard. 
Once you have completed the first nine holes, your score will be displayed so 
that you can see how it's going.  Bear in mind that you can check your score 
at any time by selecting "Score" at the Options Menu. Once you have completed 
the course, the Score Card will appear again.  You can print your scores or 
exit to continue to another course or quit the game.
