12 November 2000 Dave Mayes http://davemayes.hypermart.net This is Rally 1000 release 4.2. Before mailing a bug, please read the FAQ at: http://davemayes.hypermart.net/rally_faq.html If you are upgrading from version 3.1, your game totals will be preserved. Have fun! New features in 4.2: - Handspring Visor compatibility bugs fixed - PalmOS Platinum certified New features in 4.1: - Fixed Palm III crash - Web site changed New features in 4.0: - Color support - Sounds - Some cards redesigned - Small icon added - Menu shortcuts added - Undo button smaller - Any Graffiti character draws a card - Safeties drawn sideways when Coup Fourre (this was done because the reverse video did not look good in color) - Animation on/off - Extension dialog smaller - Picture of Fabio on the About... - Rule changed so if you play a safety on a hazard and you haven't played the Right of Way, you must play a Go to get going - Rule changed so if you are stopped with a Flat Tire, Out of Gas, or Accident and then a Speed Limit is placed on you and you do a coup fourre with Right of Way, you must fix the other hazard before moving. - Various minor bugs fixed New features in Version 3.1: - Number of 200s played by the computer now shown. - Fixed bug in scoring where delayed action would not be added if there was also a safe trip. (Thanks to Steve Saydah and Julianne Harrington!) - New e-mail and web page for the author. New features in Version 3.0: - Three levels of difficulty. Brutal level is the same as the difficulty in previous version. Medium level turns off the Pilot's ability to remember played and discarded cards and weakens the overall strategy a little. Easy level makes Pilot play cards randomly. I find I can about split with the Pilot on Medium and trounce it on Easy. - Removed Play/Discard/Auto buttons. To force a discard or play, tap on your battle pile or the discard pile before tapping a card. - Animation of little cars going accross the screen and finish line flag. - New icon. Thanks to Christian Moskal for this. - Changed the interface for selecting a new game and resetting the game totals. New features in Version 2.0: - Player's hand is now sorted. - Undo available. Takes you back to before your last draw. (Don't cheat too much!) - Number of 200 mile cards played is displayed. - Discard/Play/Auto buttons are "pushbutton" style; you can tell which one is active. - Tips screen updated. - Page Up/Down keys draw a card. - Driving Ace and Gas bitmaps redone. Bugs fixed Version 2.0: - Game would not end on hands where the deck is exhausted and a player had gone past 5000. - The discard card was not saved between games. Bugs fixed Version 1.0: - Game discards safeties when Draw Pile exhausted and you play in Auto mode. - A Go card should be visible after playing a Right of Way and you are able to go; it is not. Bugs fixed Beta 0.2: - Games are now saved automatically when you go to another Pilot application. - Added "New Game" menu choice. - Number of games in Score menu corrected.
