Bandwurm
by Rainer Prestele
Brief English Instructions
by D.A. Brumleve
Bandwurm is a mono-only game in which a worm is moved about the
screen in order to "eat" little black squares. The worm will
move forward without any nudge from you, but your mouse can
control his direction; clicking the left mouse button will cause
him to turn left, the right makes him turn right. In my
experience, transferring the orientation of the worm from the
screen to my fingers is the most challenging aspect of the
program; I have lots of trouble deciding which button to push!
To get started, place all the files in the same folder or
directory and run BANDWURM.PRG. You'll have to type in your name
and press <Return> before the game can begin. Once the playing
screen appears, press the mouse button or the <SpaceBar> and
you'll see the worm inching his way down from the top of the
screen. Each time the worm eats another square, he grows, so you
are dealing with a worm whose length is ever increasing. You
must take care that he does not attempt to eat himself or run
into a wall or run into the barrier in the middle of the screen,
or the game will be over. If you sustain the worm long enough,
an opening will appear at the middle of the top edge of the
gamearea, and you can move the worm through it and on to the next
level of play.
During play, you can press <P> to pause the game. While the game
is paused, you can also press <Esc> to save the game, make the
worm move faster by pressing <+>, or make the worm move more
slowly by pressing <->. To resume play, press a mouse button or
the <SpaceBar>.
Upon successful completion of all levels, you'll be given an
opportunity to play again or quit. For more complete
instructions, please refer to BANDWURM.DOC, a German text file
provided by the author.
