Instruction Manual
----------------
In this game you are in the role of Walter Bumble, ship's cook
of the "Supernova". You can determine his actions by clicking
commands together.
1. Choosing Commands
------------------
A command consits of a verb and one or two objects. To
choose a verb you click on the corresponding verb in the
command line. Then it will appear in the line above the
command line which is the called sentence line. It
contains the commands clicked together by you.
You can choose an object in two different ways:
* You click on an object in the graphics window. Important
objects appear in the sentence line when driving over
them with the mouse pointer.
* You click on an object of your inventory. You can see
your inventory at the downward border of the screen,
containing all objects you are carrying. During the game
you can carry as many objects as you want to. If you
have more than eight objects, you will recognize arrows
beneath the right side of your inventory. Use them to
scroll the list.
If you have chosen a verb and an object, the command will
be executed.
For example: Open hatch
Look chessboard
Get chessboard
Look keycard
You can try these examples directly in the room where you
start.
The verb "Use" sometimes demands two objects, and "Give"
needs always two objects.
For example: You are in the starting room.
Choose the verb "Use" and the keycard from
your inventory as an object. The sentence
line will show: "Use keycard with". You can
click now on the slot of the locker in the
middle to open it.
Further points to the commands:
* After an command has been executed, the game switches
back to the verb "Go to".
* Some actions can be executed more simply by using the
right mousebutton:
- Opening and closing of hatches/doors
- Pushing of buttons
- Talking to other persons
- Looking at objects
Example: You want to open a closed hatch.
Point with the mouse on the hatch and click the
right mousebutton. The hatch opens.
Click it again to close the hatch.
If it is not obvious that an object can be opened, closed,
pushed or talked to, the command "Look" will be executed
when pressing the right mousebutton.
2. Movement
----------
There are two ways to move around.
* Click on a little box in the square at the lower right of
the screen after having chosen the command "Go to". The
little boxes symbolize the exits of the room you are in.
* You can also click on an exit directly in the graphics
window (e.g. an opened hatch).
Important: In the graphics window are not necessarily all
exits visible, so you can leave some locations only by
using the boxes in the square.
3. Save/Restore
--------------
You can save or restore a game at nearly every point.
By pressing F5 a menu appears. To save a game you choose
one of the ten lines, enter a name and click on the
"Save"-button.
4. Talking To Other Creatures
-------------------------
Later in the game you will meet other living beings. When
talking to them you are offered different possibilities of
asking and answering. Just choose one of them by clicking
on it.
