  2. EXAMPLE.MAP Documentation
  3. Written By Keith Schuler
  4. (c) 1997 3D Realms Entertainment
  5. --------------------------------
  6.  
  7. EXAMPLE.MAP demonstrates most of the map functionality in Shadow Warrior,
  8. usually in the simplest possible way. For more advanced examples, look in
  9. the game maps. This document describes what can be found in EXAMPLE.MAP and
  10. where. The map is divided into several similar rooms arranged in a grid-
  11. like fashion. Columns are labeled by blue letters, while rows are labeled
  12. by red letters. For example, to find room BC, you would start in room AA
  13. (upper left corner) then look two rooms to the right and three rooms down.
  14.
