-----------------------------[ La Mouche v2.0 ]---------------------------- Copyright Franck Poupon (fpoupon@usa.net http://f3p.home.ml.org) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Overview 'La Mouche' is a game. A fly has come into a house and you have to lead it out by bringing it from room to room. It would be easy if there were not a few risks. It has to eat (avoiding different traps -spider webs, poison, time-) and to escape from its worse enemy : the spider. Once out of the room # 40 it will be free. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- How to play On the first screen, five options are available : Game To play ! Best scoresThe seven best scores and the number of played games Help Picture of the elements you will find in the rooms, short explanations. Language French or English Sound Yes or No Level from 1 (easy) to 5 (hard) 'Up' arrow Choose your character : the fly goes straight on. Control 'Right' arrow Choose your character : the fly turns to the right. 'Left' arrow Choose your character : the fly turns to the left. 'Survival' key Choose you character : to rescue the fly. Random visit Yes or Not. If 'Yes', the fly visits the house randomly (registered user only) Exit To quit the game. You can go from an option to the other using the arrows. The screen is divided in two parts : * the room from the top (left part) * indicators (right part) : Number of lives Number of pieces of food Score Remaining time of life (full when blank) (eg. timer) Room # or Distance from food Time About the remaining time of life : When the boxes at the balcony are both black and white, you can use th 'Survical key' (it means you have enough points to do so). There are four kinds of room. Type 1 : Spider The fly must eat each piece of food to open the door -> Fly -> Food and to reach the next room. Type 2 : Fly -> Like 'type 1' but there is no spider and the food moves Food when the fly approaches. Type 3 : Fly -> ? Like 'type 2' but the food does not move and is not visible. To find it, use the indicator "Distance from food". Examples : ........ .... .... ........ ........ .... .... LM .... .....?. .... .... ........ Distance = 4 -------------------------------------------------------- ........ .... .?. ........ ........ LM .... ........ ........ .... .... ........ Distance = 2 -------------------------------------------------------- ........ .... .... ........ ........ LM .?. ........ ........ .... .... ........ Distance = 1 Type 4 : Here, the fly is not endangered. It moves by itself. Fly/Spider You can help it by bombing the spiders ('straight' key) ! To save/restore a game, press Psion-BackSpace at the beginning of a level. During the game you can press the 'Esc' key to : - stop/resume the game - toggle the sound on/off --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hints * The fly can go between two blocks which are in contact with an angle. * The poison is lethal for the fly but also for the spider... So try to bring spider to the poison (bonus). * Do not bump into the obstacles : it dimishes your number of points. * Use the shelters : the spider cannot go there. * When you choose the La Mouche application press the "Tab" Key : 1. Shortly : the options appears faster. 2. Longer : the game is run faster with predefined parameters --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Installation * Copy the program 'lamouche.opa' on a '\app' directory.' * Create a '\mouche' directory at the root ("\") level and copy all the other files on it.
