+you are, how many peas you still have to eat, your score and your lives left.
+You can start in any level you've been before.

-Get as many peas possible in a single level.
+The original Wormy by Scabby was called Peaworm, and it was basically Wormy in

-lap you complete you'll get 40 points. You lose 10 for dieing, but you
-cannot be killed by running into other worms (you will be slowed down
-though).

+* End 1999: I (Shiar) asked him whether I could complete his Worm
* Jonah Cohen helped me for a while, but soon he either died or got bored
* June 2000: Worm just didn't want to work correctly (linkplay problems
mostly), so I decided to take a break to continue later..
* Feb 2001: After a huge break I figured it's time to complete WormY.
* Summer 2001: Shiar finally completed Wormy and everybody was happy (???)
