BitSwitch proudly presents ========================== ---+ WORM256.COM +--- Feel free to contact me for an even worse update. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- TURN UP THE BRIGHTNESS AND CONTRAST OF YOUR MONITOR BEFORE PLAYING THIS GAME! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Overview ======== This game was programmed for a 256 bytes worm competition invented by Zaifrun, Gnome and I, BitSwitch. For unknown reasons I've decided to call my executable WORM256.COM, but feel free to rename the sucker... Please note that this game is take-it-and-distribute-it-or-leave-it-ware, which means that you'll have to do your best to distribute the game (with any accompanying files) or leave it alone. Developing the Game =================== When I designed the game I decided to make it as enjoyable to play as possible. To achieve this I've implemented the following things: - a genuine scoring system - a head to head collision detection routine (sounds good, huh?) - the black-evil-kill-your-mama-with-an-axe-worms Controls ======== Action Player 1 Player 2 ---------------------------------------- up up w down down s left left a right right d quit esc esc Please note: You'll have to press space to start a new "round". The reason for implementing this is to make sure no player starts a new game by accident. Winning the Game ================ There are several ways of winning the game. These includes: - make your opponent collide with anything app. 40 times - insult your opponent until he/she refuses to play any further - feed a puppy to some kind of hungry animal Known Bugs ========== - runs perfectly under Windows 95 and Windows 3.x! (grin) - ctrl-break will surely kill this beauty - some memory managers just don't like my programming methods Contacting the Programmer ========================= - If you find my game abusive and stupid I would advise you to mail me and insult me. - If the strange thing should happen that you like my game and would like get the latest update, just mail me, and I'll send it to you. - If you want to get the source code to this silly little program just mail and I'll send it free of charge.
