LABBY 2.0 FAQ	 - by Jimmy Mardell 96-08-07
-------------


* At last! Why did it take so long??


Had some other stuff to do...




* Help! An ugly screen comes up when I start and then it returns to
  ZShell!?!?


Yupp! Labby has become an engine! You must run a program which contains
the levels! There is no ugly screen saying that but then people perhaps
start reading these stupid docs.




* How do I control the guy? Just the arrowkeys?


Correct! And press EXIT when you want to do that.
(How did you know it was a guy??)




* NOO!! So I can't pick up my machinegun and start firing at those
ghosts???


Sorry, but that wouldn't help! Those suckers are already dead, idiot!




* What is that square on the right part of the screen? I just see some
  blinking dot!


It's your radar! It's very good to have. The blinking dot is you, and
the
other dots that will appear are the ghosts! The arrow shows you your
current direction, and the upper part of the radar is alwats what you
see
in front of you. When you get used to it, it's very handy!




* I keep dying! What shall I do??


Keep away from them, and find the exit! You can't miss it! A big, nice
door.
But of course you'll have to find it first... The mazes aren't that big,
just about 24x24...




* Puh... I made the first level. How many levels are there?


I dunno. Can be everything from 1 to 100 (almost). Depends on the one
who made the levels. The only way to find out is to make it trough the
whole game.




* I finished the last level!! Is there something else to do?!?


Yeah!! Get the level editor and start making your own levels!! And you
shouldn't definately wait for the level randomizer, which allows you
endless with mazes!! Hurray!! :-)




* Level editor?! Where??


Nowhere at the moment. But I'll make one very soon. It will probably be
some sort of a script which you translate with a PC program. Perhaps
I'll make some program in TI-BASIC that creates a stringvariable with
the levels...




* Gee, nice graphics. You must be a good drawer.


Nope. Lance Bradley did the graphics. Forgotten his email though :-/




* This game rules! Have you done any other cool games?


Yup. Check out my homepage (http://www.algonet.se/~mja) for latest info
about my work. Of course you'll find updates and other levels made by
other people than me there!!
