INTRODUCTION
============

When you unpack the script, you will it contains the following files:

        hm1.gif
        hm2.gif
        hm3.gif
        hm4.gif
        hm5.gif
        hm6.gif
        hm7.gif
        hm8.gif
        hm9.gif
        hm10.gif
        hm11.gif
        hm12.gif
        hmconfig.inc.php
        hmgame.php
        hmword.inc.php
        phm_bot.inc.php
        phm_top.inc.php
        readme.txt



A brief explanation of each of these files follows:

* hm1.gif to hm12.gif

        - These are the pictures of the man being hanged, step-by-step.
        hm1.gif being the first image (after the first wrong answer),
        and hm12.gif being the last image (when the man is completely
        hung). If you wish, you may draw your own pictures of each step
        and replace the original files with your versions (but use
        the same file names!)

        - If you do replace the original pictures, your pictures should be
        all the same size (width and height).

        - Specify the width and height of your images by changing the
        $c_hm_width and $c_hm_height variables in hmconfig.inc.php


* hmconfig.inc.php

        This is the configuration file.

        - The variable called $c_hm_main specifies the name of the main
        game file. Initially it is set to hmgame.php, but if you wish
        to rename hmgame.php (making your game file called something
        else, you can do so, providing you also set this variable to the
        same name).

        - You can specify the width and height of the hangman images by
        changing the $c_hm_width and $c_hm_height variables. You don't need
        to do this unless you replace the pictures with pictures of your own.

        - It also contains ALL the game messages (allowing you to translate
        the game to another language if you want).


* hmgame.php

        - This is the main game file.  You should NOT modify this file.
        If you want, you may rename this file, but if you do so you must
        also change the $c_hm_main variable in hmconfig.inc.php

* hmword.inc.php

        - This is the list of words that can be used in the game. Each
        word is enclosed in quotes ("), and they are separated by commas
        (no comma after the last word). You can edit this file if you can
        change the word list, but stick to all CAPITALS and avoid spaces,
        accented characters, numbres, etc. in the word, or the game may
        malfunction.
        make the list of
                
* phm_bot.inc.php and phm_top.inc.php

        - These files contain the template of the page to display the game
        in. phm_top.inc.php contains the HTML for the top of the page (above
        the game area), and phm_bot.inc.php contains the HTML for the bottom
        of the page (below the game area)

* readme.txt

        - This readme file, that you're reading now!



INSTALLATION
============

1. Unpack the ZIP file

2. Upload all the files to your web server (you can miss out the README.TXT
   if you want) using an FTP program.

3. Go to http://www.yoursite.com/hmgame.php to try it (replace yoursite.com
   with your actual domain name).

4. If you want to modify the template for the game page, you can do this
   by editing the phm_top.inc.php and phm_bot.inc.php files as described
   earlier, then update these files on your web server.

5. If you want to change the messages in the game, you can modify the
   hmconfig.inc.php as described earlier, then update this file on your
   web server.

6. If you want to change the word list in the game, you can modify the
   hmword.inc.php file as described earlier.

7. If you want to use different pictures in the game, you can replace hm1.gif
   to hm12.gif with your own pictures as described earlier.

8. If you want your game page to be called something other than hmgame.php,
   you can do this by renaming hmgame.php to your chosen file name, provided
   you also modify the $c_hm_main variable in hmconfig.inc.php to match (as
   described earlier too!).

9. If you break it, when modifying the configuration, and you are not enough
   of a PHP expert to fix it, I suggest you start-over. For this reason,
   non-PHP experts are advised to do configuration modifications step-by-step
   and save a copy of each working step as they go.
