- Dieser Zug v1.2a, December 1993 - Juha Vehviläinen
- ==================================================
-
-
- Short Description
- =================
-
- dieserZug (dZ) is a traingame, similar to the kind of games where
- you control a worm, trying to eat pieces which make you longer.
- However, the main difference is that dZ is perfect. There's no need
- for feature-list, just play the game and see for yourself.
-
- The Main object of the game is to use a good strategy to get your
- train as long as possible. Due to the strategical nature of this game,
- only one hiscore-list is used, though there are three possible values
- for the speed. Just use the one you're best at.
-
- The main window's title has two numbers in it. The first one shows the
- value of the next wagon you must collect. The other one is your total
- length / score.
-
-
- How?
- ====
-
- Arrow keys Movement.
- Keypad - " -
- 'p' Pause.
- '5' (keypad) - " -
- '1' - '3' Finetune the speed.
- ESC Quit the game. During shutdown the hiscores,
- window positions and other data will be saved to
- "PROGDIR:dieserZug.data". PROGDIR is the directory
- where dieser Zug (or any other program for that
- matter) is started.
- DEL Close/Open Top Ten window.
- HELP (on the startup-logo) Will show the keys used, and if
- pressed twice, the Author Gallery.
-
-
- Command Line Options:
-
- These are case sensitive. Valid entries are, for example:
-
- "dieserZug -a -d -t"
- "dieserZug -lsd"
-
-
- ? Show the usage.
- -a Show The Author Gallery.
- -l Force to Lace Mode. This may be used if for some
- strange reason dZ wouldn't detect that you're using
- an interlace screen. (looks pretty weird on a non-
- interlace screen..)
- -s Disable Scaling. Scaling takes place only in the Lace
- Mode. It makes the Author Gallery and the gameover
- graphics look "right", but slows down a bit.
- -d Disable the irritating text below the dZ logo.. :-)
- -n Don't activate the main window. VERY useful when
- you put dZ to your startup-sequence.. :-)
- -t Use the Tumpelo Mode. This is for people who are
- pissed of with those fatal 180 degree turns..
-
-
- Shareware?
- ==========
-
- No way. This program is 100% Public Domain, a FREEWARE product. Copy
- it to your friends, send it to bulletin boards and make it part of your
- library if you want to. As long as you don't make any money with this,
- and you don't modify any part of the package. Thank you.
