---------------------------------------------------------------------
The first Warp 4 enhanced version of Toyland is now available!
Toyland 1.1 now supports voice control and the new notebook style. If you don't
have Warp 4 yet you can still use this version - but will not have any
improvement (yet).
You can now tell T(r)oy where to move. This is not restricted to simple
movement commands - you can give such commands as:
"5 steps right"
"2 steps left"
"many steps up"
The numbers are quite obvious - it's the same as giving the same command n
times. The last one is a special command to cross all empty squares - so you
won't be stuck. This is very nice to use when you have long distance levels -
just tell him
"many steps up"
and he will move all the way to the next object above him. You won't have to
count squares or repeat commands - that's all there is to do.
All (but the numbers) of the movement commands can be modified, so if you
prefer you can use commands such as:
"5 jumps east" (for people who study geography)
"run all the way until you hit some object above" (for those who love to
talk)
"2 up" (for lazy people)
This is especially useful for foreign versions of Warp 4.
Of course you can also use all the menu commands with your voice - that is a
feature of voice control. Future versions will also give you the chance to
limit those commands so you won't get somewhere just because voice control
doesn't understand the right word.
The online help has all there is to know about voice controlled game play.
You can download the new version (Toyland110.zip) from:
