THE COURSE SELECTION SCREEN
After the program boots, you will see the Course Selection screen.
Now you may insert Disk #2 or an extra course disk in any drive and
another course selection screen will appear.  To select a course,
position the mouse over the course you wish to play and click the left
mouse button.

PLEASE NOTE:  Hole-In-One will automatically default to any extra
course disk and the course selection screen from that disk will be
shown.  If you wish to return from an extra course disk to the
original Disk #1, you must first remove the extra course disk.  Then
eject Disk #1 and immediately reinsert it.  You will see Disk #1's
Course Selection screen.

THE TUTORIAL
Besides the four courses included in your Hole-In-One package, we have
provided an instructional Tutorial. The Tutorial is a simple course
designed to familiarize you with the game. It will explain all the
menu options in Hole-In-One and give you a chance to practice.  Please
play the Tutorial first (we worked very hard on it).

THE PLAYER SELECTION SCREEN
Once you have selected a course, an introduction screen will appear
and you may choose from 1 to 4 players.  To select the number of
players, position the mouse over the desired number and click the left
mouse button.

THE MENU BAR
Once you have slected a course and number of players, the first hole
of the selected course will appear and the game is ready to begin.
Important information appears in the Menu Bar at the top of the
screen.  the Menu Bar displays the current hole you are on, the par
for each hole (par is the number of shots it should take an average
player to make the hole), and the player whose turn it is.  Also watch
the Menu Bar for important instructions during game play, such
as"Place Ball", which means that you should place your ball upon the
starting pad.

GAME MENUS
Hole-In-One Miniature Golf is a multi-tasking program that uses pull
down menus and requesters in the normal way.  This manual assumes that
you are familiar with the use of pull down menus.  If not, please
refer to the manual that came with your computer. We will examine each
of the menus and their options.

The Project Menu
The following are options at the Project Menu:

Score - If you select the option SCORE, you will be shown your
scoreboard.  At this screen, you may print the scores on your printer.
You may also enter or change the name, Hole-In-One will refer to the
players as PLAYER 1, PLAYER 2, etc.
However, if you enter your name(s), the computer will signal each
player by name when it is his or her turn.  This is a nice feature
when there are several players.  If you have entered your names, the
printout will also list each player's real name with their score.
Remember, if you do not have an Epson compatible printer, you must
load the game from WorkBench as explained in the Loading Instructions.
This has proven rather important in our interoffice tournaments.  Once
you have finished at the Score option, select EXIT SCORES to begin or
resume your game.

Replay - Selecting the option Replay will let you see your last shot
over again, without affecting the game (just like instant replay at a
football game).  This is useful in analyzing "what went wrong".

Retry - This option allows you to try the last shot over.  This is
useful for mastering the more difficult shots.  In addition, you can
"back track" your shots on a particular hole all the way back to the
starting pad.  This allows you to figure the best approach to each
hole.  Retry is the key to mastering this game and to mopping the
floor with the next opponent.

PLEASE NOTE:  Retry is a practice feature, and does not work if there
are two or more players.

Quit - This takes you back to the Course Selection Screen,
so that youy may play a different course or insert a new course disk.

THE OPTIONS MENU
There are four choices at the Options Menu:

Sound - Toggles the game sounds on/off.

Continue - If the option Continue is selected (checked), Hole-In-One
will prompt you before going to the next player.  Otherwise, Hole-In-
One automatically goes to the next player.

Expert - This toggles the line that appears when you are about to take
a shot.  Without the line, it is more difficult to aim your shots.  We
recommend even if you are an experienced player that you play your
first games with the Expert Toggle off.  The line gives you a better
"feel" for the interface.

Next - This option allows you to advance without finishing a hole.
Since it is intended as a practice feature, if selected you will
receive a nine (9) stroke penalty.

THE CONTOUR MENU
Some holes have different elevations to make them more challenging.
On the screen, a lighter color represents a higher elevation, and a
darker color a lower one.  This is more easily understood by playing
the Tutorial Course on Disk #1.  The importance of the Tutorial Course
cannot be emphasized enough.  At the Contour Menu, you can see the
course from different perspectives.

Direction - Use this option to select the desired perspective(s).  A
check mark shows that a view is selected.

Contour - Once you have all the views you desire selected, this option
will open windows on the screen displaying the different perspectives.
To close the windows, click with the left mouse button in the playing
field.  the Contour menu is only available on some holes (when it is
needed).

GAME PLAY
You are now ready to begfin your first game.  The game play is
controlled entirely with the mouse.  Place the ball on the starting
pad of the first hole and click the left mouse button.  Once you have
placed the ball, "strech" a line from the ball to the pointer.  The
direction the line is pointing is the direction the ball will go.  The
length of the line or distance between the pointer and the ball is
relative to the amount of power on the shot.  In other words, the
longer the line, the stronger the shot.  Once you have decided upon
the direction and the power, click the left mouse button to "putt" the
ball.  This is the easiest interface ever conceived (we'd like to
think).  This is well demonstrated in the Tutorial Course.  Be
careful, because shooting too hard is the biggest mistake new players
make.  You are allowed to go three shots over par, but any more than
that and you will get the "Over Stroke Limit" message.  Also an
additional one (1) stroke penalty will be given and you must advance
to the next hole (or player).  You will also be given a one (1) stroke
penalty if you land in a water hazard.  Once you have completed the
first nine holes, your score will be displayed so that you can see how
it's going.  Bear in mind that you can check your score at any time by
selecting "Score" at the Options Menu. Once you have completed the
course, the Score Card will appear again.  You can print your scores
or exit to continue to another course or quit the game.
