- 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.
-
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-

- explanations.

-
- 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.

-
- 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).
