License
The Joe and Jasper game is freeware.
For more details, ask from Warp.
The editor, Joed, is freeware.
The editor may be distributed in its unmodified form very freely.
You don't need to pay anything to the authors to use this.
There is no trial period time limit. If you want to send money
or good computer parts to the authors, it does not guarantee a
new version of the editor or a new version of the game being
submitted to the net in next week, but it does increase the
motivation of making more good programs and more good games :-)
Only authorized version may be distributed. Modified versions may
not be distributed. This version is authorized unless somebody else
than the author has been modifying it. See chapter "Author".
The sources codes of the game are not yet being distributed.
The sources codes of the editor are not yet being distributed.
If somebody needs the sourcecodes of the editor, then... well, mail me.
Limits
Teleports can not be made with this editor. They must be made manually.
See leveled.txt in the Joe distribution packet.
Author
Joed has been written in Finland.
It is a beautiful country in between of Sweden and Russia.
Joed has been written by Bisqwit.
He is a strange young man with some computer programming knowledge.
Many parts of Joed have also been written by Warp.
For example, the font has been designed by Warp :)
This short file has been written by Bisqwit.
The song behind Joed is the Chmmr theme from the Star
Control 3 game. The Star Control 3 game is Accolade's game.
There exist some other songs in Joed, too.
All other songs have been written by Warp, or if
otherwise mentioned in one of joe's documents, then so.
If you have any questions or want to give us feed-back about
this editor or about this manual (or my English) or about any
other my releases, you may send it.
