INSTRUCTIONS
Boulder-dash is still in an experimental phase. Mail your bug reports, interesting new levels, ideas to the author or to xbd@ks.id.ethz.ch. -Time limits per level are implemented. -Every level has a name now. -Tinkle walls were implemented (character 't'). Every level has a tinkle duration parameter. -For new ideas, levels etc. a distribution list has been created: xbd@ks.id.ethz.ch -Special thanks for Imakefile and most bug fixes : Christos S. Zoulas adaptation: Guillaume LAMONOCA E.S.E Promo 94 Boulder-dash (v1.2) - Collect diamonds, kill monsters, close in blob etc. etc. Boulder-dash is a game very old indeed (originally a similar game with the same name ran on CBM64). The goal in is to collect a certain number of diamonds per level and then enter the next lev- el by moving to the blinking exit-field, thus incrementing your number of lives. A diamond is worth points. Normally extra dia- monds are worth more. When playing the following keyboard keys may be used: SPACE - in combination with arrows:steal left arrow - move left right arrow - move right up arrow - move up down arrow - move down h - help In addition, some other control key combinations can be used: Q - kill the game I - restart level Levels are stored in ASCII files. The first line in a level file contains level specific parameters that should be edited by hand. The parameters are: height width speed diamonds-required diamonds-points extra-diamonds-points blob-brake tinkle-dur time level-name Where blob-brake indicates how strongly blob propagation is slowed down. tink-dur is the time tinkle-walls will keep their magic power. time is the time permitted to complete this level. level-name is the name of the level.
