Octadial: Computer-generated brain-teaser for the genius.
Octadial is a graphical puzzle-logic game based on an original concept of moving coloured bevelled sections of octagonal pieces to reach the solution.
The game is pictured on this page, as above. Our company logo - Entertain, Educate, Inform, Empower - is taken from Octadial. It represents the arrangement of colours and tiles that the player aims to achieve in the course of the game, having started out with a totally random pattern.
There are millions of possible beginning positions. Like many successful games it is simple in concept but remarkably complex once involved.
Marketed in Australia from Nov'90, Octadial is mainly for IBM PC with EGA or VGA graphics cards. Written in the C++ language, it consists of some 4,000 line of original source code, and uses every available objected oriented feature of the C++ language. (It began as an exercise in the C++ language, but quickly became a finished and marketable product, due to the productivity available through that language.) There are tentative plans to do a much expanded Octadial for the Internet.
- MS DOS 3.1+
- EGA or VGA card
- Harddisk requirements: 0.01Mbytes
- Mouse optional
