Cobra documentation Thank you for downloading Cobra! I hope you have a fun time playing this Snake game. This game was made by Jorden Chamid of Future Software. The game was made in QuickBasic 4.5 with help from the Future.Library by Future Software. The images were all made in PaintShop Pro by Jorden. This game was made in a few hours that I was bored. So I'm sorry if it's not as good as you might have hoped!

Keys
At start-up, you must decide the difficulty you want to play at. 1-9, where 1 is really easy and 9 is the hardest option.
Use the arrow keys to move your snake and ESC to exit. F12 will save a snapshot called shot.bmp. This is because you cannot use the PRINT SCREEN feature in Future.Library's 640x480x256 screenmodes.

Troubleshooting
VESA: You need a VESA-compatible videocard in order to play Cobra. If this error happens, download the latest drivers at http://www.scitechsoft.com

EMS: You need to have a few KBs of EMS memory available. To enable EMS memory:

1. Make a backup of your CONFIG.SYS
2. Open your CONFIG.SYS with a text-editor, e.g. EDIT.COM
3. Add the following lines at the top of your CONFIG.SYS file.
Assuming that EMM386.EXE is in your WINDOWS dir at drive C: if not replace the path then with yours.
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE 4000 RAM
DOS=HIGH,UMB
The last line is not entirely necessary but it will free more RAM.
4. Restart your computer and run Cobra.
