Enter Prolink on your PC and click on Book send. Select a .txt file from your PC and
check it appears in File Name box. Ensure your VR computer is in PC Link mode and
Connected. Click on Book send. You scroll through pages using the left and right
switches. A single short push scrolls one page. A long push scrolls 1000 characters.
The number (in this case 0) in the lower menu area shows the cursor position in the
file. When you have finished reading and leave the screen, your VR computer will
remember where you left off and return you to the same point in the file when you
next open the screen. A short push of both switches returns you to the Dive Screen.
The book-viewing screen shows text from the book that has been uploaded into the
dive computer. You can download text (.txt) files from any source to your PC (see
next page). If files are in another format save them as .txt files in Windows Notepad
before transferring them to your VR computer. Please note that you can only transfer
and store in the VR computer 20,000 characters at one time so divide large texts such
as novels into sections.
Buddies Game
The idea of this game i
s essentially the same as the card game Pairs. You as the
player are seen on the screen as “?”.Use the left and right switches to move around the
screen. Short switch pushes move you left and right, a long push on the left switch
jumps up a row, a long push on the right switch drops down a row. When you are
over a particular card a short push of both switches will turn the card over and reveal a
letter or symbol. Once that letter or symbol is revealed, your task is to find the same
card in another position and reveal it with the next turn of a card. If you are
unsuccessful both cards turn face down again. If you are successful the selected cards
disappear. The aim of the game is to find all the pairs until no more cards remain.
Each attempt to find a pair is recorded as a try in the bottom left hand corner. The best
score, i.e. the lowest number of attempts needed to clear the screen, is displayed.
Wreck Find Game
There are pieces of a shipwreck hidden in the sand. You as th
e wreck-finder are seen
on the screen as “?”.Use the left and right switches to move around the screen. Short
switch pushes move you left and right, a long push of the left switch jumps up a row,
a long push of the right switch drops down a row. When you think you might be over
a piece of wreckage a short push on both switches will reveal what is hidden below
you. Each piece of wreckage is shown as a cross. When you have found all ten pieces
of wreck, the game finishes. The idea is to find them all in the fewest number of
attempts. The number of attempts in the current game to date is shown in the bottom
left of the screen. The best (lowest) score is displayed in the bottom right of the
screen. It is mostly a game of chance but if you are a true wreck-finder you can bring
in an element of skill to find the wreckage more quickly and get a better score, (think
“Battleships”!!)A long push on both switches exits Games.
