Thank you for your interest in BackSlide

Shareware
This Java puzzle is distributed as shareware. If you like it, please send US $5 to the address below. In return you will get a code which will give you access to all solutions in the pop-up menu.

There is another way to get a code: you just have to find one of the non-trivial solutions described in BackSlide: the Twist. If that happens, a little window will pop up telling you a code. Please make a note of that code for future reference. Of course, we'd appreciate the bucks even if you get the code by yourself ;-)

The code must be entered in the file BackSlide.html. My apologies beforehand for this clumsy procedure, but I have not figured out a more elegant way (yet).

Download BackSlide
You can download a package containing the necessary files to play BackSlide off-line.



The two packages are virtually identical; only the packaging is different.
Package creation date: December 29, 1997.


How to register
Send US $5 cash to:
    MindSports
    Asterstraat 381
    6708 DW Wageningen
    Netherlands

Please include your address, preferably also an email address. We will send you a code asap.

Entering the code
You cannot enter the code with the on-line version of BackSlide. It is only possible if you have the BackSlide package on your hard disk. If you found it on a CD-ROM, you must first copy the complete BackSlide folder to your hard disk before you can change anything.
You will need an editor like SimpleText (on a Mac) or Notepad (on Windows 95) to enter the code:

  • start SimpleText (on a Mac) or Notepad (on Windows 95), choose File-Open and open BackSlide.html (on your hard disk)
  • On line 126 you will find:



    Simply replace the XXX by the code you have found or received.
    Be sure not to change anything else
  • choose File-Save and File-Quit, and you're done
