PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT HISTORY
Version 1.2.1 (Current Release) [16 Aug 1997] - minor source code changes - fixed code that produced errors under some compilers. - updated all documents to indicate new e-mail and web address - web pages moved to http://www.MartinReddy.net/3dmines Version 1.2 [25 Sep 1996] - we now have Inventor 2.1 installed and I found that there are a number of other cases which need conditionally compiled for V2.0/V2.1. These have now been defined and so Mines should compile under V2.1 without any problems. - sorted lots of little display incongruities which occured with the shift from Inventor 2.0 -> 2.1 (e.g. texturing appearance etc.) - previously if you kept your finger on the left button at the start and end of game then you zoomed past all of the end of game, start new game, get ready sections. (This was particularly evident if you had Animations Off.) Now, you must release the button and re-click in order to skip a section. - the odd menu shortcut (Alt+Back to 3D Mines Home Page) event was lost. This has now been fixed. Also, the standard shortcuts are now CTRL+ , inline with other SGI products (e.g. WebMagic, Annotator, Showcase etc.). N.B. the old Alt+ shortcuts will still work. - you are now told the keyboard shortcut to unpause when you first pause. - can now use the "?" command line option as well as "-help" and "-h" Version 1.1 [25 Jun 1996] - text.c++ contained errors if compiled under Inventor V2.1 (fine under V2.0). Have now added an optional define to the Makefile to specify the version of Inventor being used. This will be used to selectively compile code for either V2.0 or V2.1. [19 Jul 1996] - added an extra level of tile complexity. Can now have tiles which are just a single polygon (in addition to cuboid and smooth tiles). This should make performance slightly better on low-end machines. - can now click the left mouse button to start the game instead of going all the way the the File menu to select the New Game option. What a hassle that was! - cleaned up some of the source code. Version 1.0 (Initial Release) [5 Jun 1996] --- (c) Martin Reddy (16 Aug 1997)
