To install CrazyClock, simply copy all files into a directory. Then start the program by typing CrazyClock from CLI or by clicking on its WB icon. If you are running your machine with PAL resolutions the clock image may look a litle bit squeesed. To avoid this effect you only have to install the NTSC drivers on your system (for more information consult your amiga manual). CrazyClock will then automatically open its screen in NTSC mode. The program was created and tested on an A2000 with A2091 & A2630 but should also run on 68000 with 512k. *** Introduction *** CrazyClock is... eh... .Yes it is! For all of those who already kown Mr.R.'s cube. This program is inspired by Mr.R.'s clock (almost unknown) which is a much easier alternative for everyone who couldn't solve the cube through intuition. This time you only have to move the 9 clocks on both sides to twelve. Therefor you can rotate one of the four clocks in each corner by clicking on them. To decide whether they rotate forwards or backwards the clocks are devided into halves. Click on the left to turn left and vice versa. The four yellow buttons in the middle can be pushed up or down. They influence the connection between the clocks. The only question is how? Well this problem is up to you. (It is not difficult at all, trust me!!!) So if you are waiting for your girl/boy friend, for your modem to connect, etc. simply test it out. You will soon understand the mechanism which works inside the clock and later solve the clock within seconds. For absolute beginners it should take about 1 to 3 hours to solve the clock for the first time, without really understanding how they did it. But after some more tries only a few minutes/seconds are possible. *** Dedication *** Many thanks to: - Stefan Birmanns who made some suggestions and did a little bit beta testing. - Christian Scholz who created the game icon. - Stefan Becker. I got good solutions to some problems by studying Toolmanagers's source code. Bonne chance!!!
