Zen mode just let me play one round and then would exit back to DOS prompt.
Was 32-bit needed to store the valid-word database into the EXE itself? Think this could be an 8088 real mode game, see MODM for playing audio. But the subtle graphics in VGA and ripple effects and such are neat.
Played well on an old PentiumM Dell Latitude laptop.
hi-
i haven't had time to test on XP. from what it sounds like, it seems like you're trying to run the DOS version directly; this ends up running the game under NTVDM, which i haven't tested against yet. i'll see what i can do for the next update, but i'm not confident i can do a whole lot (could be related to file access, zen mode writes after each round)
the game is 32-bit because i used djgpp/allegro to write it. i'm not very confident in my ability to write an entire game in assembly just yet
