Carotto 1.0.4 Luc De Bois, (c) 1993 Tricky Soft
Carotto is a fully interactive board game for up to 5 human and/or mac pla-
yers. It simulates a car race : you draw the circuit with the mouse then race
on it.
You can select the number of players and their skill anytime you want during
the race, just clicking on the appropriate buttons. You want to play with a
friend ? Select 2 cars then start the game. Your friend ( a beginner ) is far
away behind you ? Let him play once again, or select one of the three mac pla-
yers skills to automatically play for him. Your friend gives up ? Race against
four mac players ( two beginners, one medium and one expert, that's a good
deal ! ). You want to play alone to improve your skill and get the best race in
one circuit lap ? Well... That's up to you ! Finally, the circuit is too easy
for you ? Draw another one ( or play with an old one that has been saved pre-
viously ) which figures a few more sharp turns and chicanes.
The race principle is simple : a speed vector is associated with your car. At
each race step you choose between ( in the most favourable case ) 4 possibili-
ties to increase or decrease your speed vector and your car moves to the new
position you've chosen : that's all ! You will accelerate in straight lines but
be wise to anticipate road bends : whether you slow down in time or not, you'll
take the race lead or crash into the circuit frame... You also need to antici-
pate your adversaries' movements in order to avoid crashing into them but also,
so as to obstruct their way and make them follow the wrong direction... That's
how things go in reality !
Carotto should work on every mac with system 7.0 or greater and a 256-colour
screen.
Carotto is a whatever-you-want-ware ( see Credits inside ) !
Enjoy !
