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.

             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. You can omit the help files : 'aide.fly',
     'help.fly' if you need some room.
   * Install the application as described in the manual. A '\fly' directory
     will be created at the first use on the internal disk (m).
