Annotation of researchv9/jtools/src/demo/asteroids/PLAY_ME, revision 1.1

1.1     ! root        1: Welcome to nastyroids, the fun game for filling the hours spent
        !             2: waiting for compiles, test runs, troffs, prints, and so forth.
        !             3: 
        !             4: You, the hero, are the little pointy thing in the middle.
        !             5: The enemy are those jaggedies floating about.  If one of them
        !             6: floats too close to you, you will be smashed.  You may be able to
        !             7: avoid this fate and acquire valuable Points by using the controls.
        !             8: The middle button shoots tiny but deadly projectiles at the horrid
        !             9: jaggedies.  When you hit a giant jaggedy you get a whole point,
        !            10: and the giant jaggedy splits into two middling jaggedies.  If you
        !            11: hit a middling jaggedy, you get two points, and the jaggedy splits
        !            12: into two tiny jaggedies.  Hitting a tiny jaggedy destroys it,
        !            13: and gets you five points.
        !            14: 
        !            15: While you hold the left button down, the pointy you will rotate left.
        !            16: While you hold the right button down, the pointy you will rotate right.
        !            17: Should you hold both of these buttons down, a tiny motivator thrusts you
        !            18: in the direction you are pointing.
        !            19: 
        !            20: Artificial aids are available should life become too hectic.
        !            21: Pushing the `c' key turns on the stupid yet powerful battle computer
        !            22: and lights the `C' status panel.
        !            23: The stupid yet powerful battle computer decides which jaggedies will
        !            24: run into you, and tries to kill them.  Pushing the `s' key turns on
        !            25: the incredibly powerful screens, and lights the `S' status panel.
        !            26: Whenever the screens sense a nearby threat, they destroy it.
        !            27: This is very protective, but costs six points.  Pushing the `r'
        !            28: key turns off the artificial aids, and clears the status panels.
        !            29: You can still use the controls while the aids are on, but the
        !            30: stupid aids will take over if they sense danger, correctly or not.
        !            31: The stupid artificial aids don't work well unless the little pointy
        !            32: thing is at rest.
