Here you can alter game settings with the arrow +keys (game mode, level, g/o-limit, and players (+names and controls). When +you're ready, press enter/2nd to start the game. + +DON'T DIE =------------------------------------------------------------------- + +Playing wormy's quite simple actually. Just avoid your worm from crashing +(into walls or yourself) by turning it left/right. Default controls are: +1)left/right 2)F1/F2 3)sto/, 4)enter/+ but they can be altered to anything +except EXIT (which always exits to the stats-screen) and MORE (turns your calc +off.) + +WELL DONE =------------------------------------------------------------------- + +At the end of each game, the stats-screen will be displayed. It shows the +score and deaths for each worm, and hiscore for singleplayer games. Hit enter +to return to the main menu. + +SINGLEPLAYER =---------------------------------------------------------------- + +In singleplayer games, you're alone. You just move your worm over the "food" +to get to the next level. At the top of the screen you can see in which level +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. + +PEAWORM =--------------------------------------------------------------------- + +The original Wormy by Scabby was called Peaworm, and it was basically Wormy in +it's simplest form. I implemented this game into Wormy too. You just try to +get as many peas possible in a single level. + +TRON =------------------------------------------------------------------------ + +Like the movie ;) + +DEATHMATCH =------------------------------------------------------------------ + +A multiplayer game for 2-4 players, where you have to kill the other worm(s) +before they kill you. When you have no lives left, the game ends. You can set +the number of lives at the main menu, and it'll be displayed during the game +at the top of the screen for each player. Have fun! + +FOODMATCH =------------------------------------------------------------------- -You may not release an altered version of this program, and all files must -be included with any distribution. +Like deathmatch, with the difference that your objective is to score a certain +amount of points (100 by default.) You'll earn 10 for eating food, but if you +die you'll lose 10. + +LINKMATCH =------------------------------------------------------------------- + +Still under construction... + +RACE =------------------------------------------------------------------------ + +In this gametype, all worms have to move around like race-cars. For each 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.) + +CTF =------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +Each player has to capture the enemy flag, and return it to his own flag. + +LEVELS =---------------------------------------------------------------------- + +Wormy comes together with WORMEDIT, the Wormy level editor for DOS I wrote. +Start wormedit.exe and make some kick-ass levels! (Please do.) You may of +course release your own levels freely, but I would appreciate it if you'd send +me a copy of your levels. + +OF COURSE =------------------------------------------------------------------- + +I am not responisble for any damage Wormy causes. Furthermore, you may not +release an altered version of Wormy, distribute it without this readme file +included, nor may you charge money for it. + +HISTORY =--------------------------------------------------------------------- + +This is a short historical overview of Worm(y): (facts may not match reality) +* End 1998: Matthew Shepcar releases Peaworm, worm in it's simplest form +* Scabby didn't release another version with levels and vertical scrolling +* 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 (???) + +CREDITS =--------------------------------------------------------------------- + +This game was made by SHIAR.
