V/+ETERNI

This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.

Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

                               ETERNITY
   A Disk-based Puzzle Game For The BBC/Electron (Master Compatible)

ETERNITY will need no introduction to many. The board game of the same
name was released last year (June 1999) with the tempting reward of one
million pounds to the first individual to complete it. It is a puzzle 
game of tremendous proportion and of tremendous possibilities, which the
authors claim no code can crack. It could be assembled correctly first
time or incorrectly put together for eternity before the right combinat-
ion of pieces were locked in place.

Objective
THE computerised version of ETERNITY is a new variant of the program 
JIGSAW [See EUG #48 - Ed] with an identical piece and board display. But
it also shares many of its devious board game namesake's qualities. In
all, the object is to assemble the pieces in such a way as they "fit"
correctly into a defined area and the image perceived is "correct".

Players of JIGSAW will find ETERNITY much tougher. Not least of why is 
that only the correct place for ONE piece can be immediately determined
and there is no option to view an unscrambled image. To create this 
image, the objective of the game, is likely to take you many weeks.

Copying ETERNITY
ETERNITY is not copy protected and you may consider first creating a 
backup copy of the master disk's files. This is because you will doubt-
less want to use the save option (detailed later) to save the state of
play and the easiest means of achieving this is to have a WRITE-ENABLED
backup copy. However, there is no reason you cannot save to the master
disk if you wish.

Playing ETERNITY
AFTER the loading screen is displayed, the screen will show a jumbled up
display of ETERNITY pieces. If you have attempted the puzzle previously
(and saved the state of play to disk), these will be as they were at the
conclusion of your last attempt. The first time you play, they will be
in a random default position, around the border of the screen.

Move the cursor over any desired piece and pick it up. You can then drop
it again in any place not occupied by another piece. By shifting pieces
around the playing area, you should attempt to eventually clear the bor-
der and create the ETERNITY picture within the matrix one block in from
each edge of the playing area.

The ETERNITY picture is a layout of the unusually shaped pieces of the
board game. Unlike the board game, you are not manipulating individual
pieces but 'blocks' with combinations of horizontal, vertical and diag-
onal lines drawn upon them. You will not find this difference aids or
hinders any further the completion of it.

To help you get started when you are first presented with the mindbogg-
ling jumble of lines, remember that the puzzle has been created in the
same way as a JIGSAW screen; the signature D in bullet holes is to be
placed in the bottom right hand corner of the inner matrix. When this
is placed correctly, you will notice that there is a subtle difference
between horizontal and vertical lines and so should be able to rule out
certain rotations of each piece.

Finally, note that there are no trick pieces, and when two pieces are
correctly placed together, the combination will "look right"; i.e. 
there will not be any line where a pixel looks 'shifted' at the link. So
if you feel a piece "looks wrong", it will be!

If you complete ETERNITY, copy the file ETERN (which holds the screen
information) to another disk and send it to: EUG ETERNITY, 42 Canterbury
Road, REDCAR TS10 3QF. Fabulous prizes to be won!

The Save Option
AS ETERNITY will keep you puzzling for many hours, you are likely to 
want to take a break from it at some point. To do so, MAKE SURE YOUR
ETERNITY GAME DISK IS WRITE-ENABLED and then press S. The state of play
will be saved to disk and immediately loaded in the next time you load
ETERNITY.

Note that each save deletes the previous information.

Please note you can neither use the ETERNITY files with JIGSAW nor the
JIGSAW EDITOR.
