-
- 3.1 - GAME SPEED

- 4.- ZONE DESIGNER
- ═════════════════

- ROTATE : Rotates a portion of the design. It's kind of
- useless.

- MOVE : Moves a zone from one location to another.
- LOAD : Will bring you to the LOAD MENU, to load a
- zone set from disk.

- same thing.
-
-
- 5.- LOAD ZONE
- ═════════════
- Select the zone you want to load (if any), and click in
- the LOAD button. To exit without loading any zone, you
- can either press the ESC key, click the right mouse
- button anywhere or click in the EXIT button. For non-
- mouse users, use the UP/DOWN arrow keys and ENTER to
- load, or ESC to quit.
-
-
- 6.- EXIT
- ════════
- Goes back to DOS. You can press either ESC, 6, Q or click
- in the EXIT area.
-
-
- THE GAME
- ════════
- You should know... Now every time you eliminate one line,
- you get a bomb (unless you disable BOMBS in the OPTIONS
- menu), and every 20,000 points, a little spaceship
- appears that allows you to shoot at the blocks for 10
- seconds. The keyboard handling for the spaceship is
- terrible, simply because I'm using Int16h. I wrote the
- whole spaceship routine in less than half hour. Don't
- blame me! :-)
-
- Also, a few other things will give you extra bonuses and
- such. For more info, read SRP.DOC.
