═══ 1. About TrashMan ═══ TrashMan is an OS/2 Presentation Manager game that puts you in the middle of the Green Movement. Your job as Sanitation Engineer is to clean up the area by putting all the trash piles in garbage cans. The playing area is divided into 'rooms'. The rooms may contain trash piles or garbage cans. You are the small figure with a push broom. You move your player around with the arrow keys. The trash piles must be swept around the screen until they are in a garbage can. When a trash pile is in a garbage can, the can bulges and a red check mark appears. The garbage cans are just big enough to hold one trash pile. You only have a push broom, so you can sweep the trash piles in one direction. To change directions, you must move around to the other side of the pile. Also, the trash piles are heavy-- you can only push one at a time. If you sweep across a full garbage can, its contents are pushed out of the can into the next spot. At any point, you may select 'Save Position' from the 'Game' menu, or press F9. This will save the current position. A tone will sound to indicate the position has been saved. Be careful-- you can 'sweep yourself into a corner', and arrive at a position that is impossible to finish. If you saved an earlier position, you may select 'Restore Position', or press F10. This will restore the previously saved position. Otherwise, you may restart the level. After you have successfully cleaned up all the trash in a level, you can advance to the next level. Each level increases in difficulty. After completing each level, you are shown the number of 'moves' it took to complete the level. Our personal best for level 1 is 238 moves. The current screen size, level number, sound options and background color are saved when you close this game. If you use TrashMan, you must register the program.
