There was an effort to organize the files a little bit for presenting in this repository. I hope I have included everything needed for both Glider 4.05 and the Room Editor 1.0.3. The code is in Pascal — THINK Pascal was used to build the original. I’m not sure how someone would open the project files (or for that matter the resource files) these days. Never mind there is also a .o file (SMS.a) representing a statically linked library (from hand-coded 68K assembly) for doing performant 4-channel sound on 68K Macs in the day (this was licensed from Patrick Buckland — I’m sure he won’t mind my preserving it here for posterity, right?). Art files, sound files of unknown format…. What a joy it will be sleuthing through these files…. Enjoy.

Hello!
|
|
|
|
This is the README File to accompany "House of the Rising Sun." I created this house over the course of about one month, after finally completing "The House" that came with Glider 4.0. I figured I would give creating my own house a shot, and never realized that it would be so fun thinking up ways to make a plane crash.

I'm an Apple Educational Systems Engineer for a dealership in Pennsylvania, and seeing as there aren't many schools needing Macs fixed or labs installed over the summer, I had more free time than I should have. Playing Glider helped me while away the hours.

I uploaded the house to America Online and, to ensure that my work was not wasted, offered $10.00 to the first person to send me a screen shot of the completed house. I also offered $20.00 to anyone who could beat my high score. (It was 1.6 million, but then again, I knew where everything was). About 3 weeks later, I was $30.00 poorer.

The same day I realized I would have to part with the other $20.00, John Calhoun E-Mailed me and said that he was interested in my house being in a collection of houses to be sold commercially. I was amazed. This was such an honor. I fixed some things here, moved some things there, and thought up some more funky names for the rooms. I took great pleasure in naming the rooms such that they would either help you get through the room, make you laugh, or just go, "Huh?"

I am pleased to present House of the Rising Sun. 120 Rooms, More clocks than Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon," More balloons than a Republican National Convention, Millions of points, and, hopefully, hours of gliding pleasure.

Thank you and have a nice day.
