Glider4/Houses/Usher House Read Me.txt
John Calhoun e178486ce8 Initial check-in
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.

Usher House -
IÕm one of the many starving 14 year olds who got up to his ears in debt to purchase Glider... It was well worth it. IÕve been using MacÕs for seven years, six years of which were with an Original Macintosh, with a few upgrades (Do you remember those 128k machines?). Currently IÕm using a Mac IIsi. This house was written one lonely evening when IÕd gotten bored with houses that were NICE to the people in them. It originally had no gliders, batteries, rubber bands, or bonuses of any kind. I didnÕt just smother people with a dozen shredders in every room, but I came pretty darn close to it. It was, of course, nearly impossible to complete. I toned down the horror a little bit, and added some food in strategic places, which usually takes off more than it gives. When you try to complete the house, remember to use the time-honored practice of getting through fast, then going back for the goodies. ItÕs now a 30 room house, with a good 100,000 points if you complete it. Have fun! Any and all comments are welcome. You can reach me as Phexem on America Online, or through Snail Mail at:

[ This is one of the most difficult houses I've ever come across. Be warned. Also, some of the rooms are very busy - on a slow Mac it may feel sluggish. - john]
