- PLAYING THE GAME:
- =================
-
- After you start, the game will present a splash screen, followed by a breif
- history to orient you to the game. After that, you will be given a chance
- to create your character. Your character will be assigned 4 statistics at
- random. These statistics are critical to your survival, so you want them
- to be as high as possible, though no statistic can start above 18.
-
- - Strength: improves the amount of damage you do to monsters.
- - Intellect: reduces the chance you will be surprised by monsters. Also
- increases you chance to avoid traps.
- - Speed: improves your ability to dodge monster attacks.
- - Accuracy: improves your chance to hit monsters.
-
- Hit Pts: This is the amount of damage you can take before you die. Hit points
- can be regained during the game, by simply walking around, or sleeping.
-
- The main game form shows a 3d perspective view of the dungeon. There are
- 7 action buttons at the bottom, plus a readout of your hit points. Movement
- in the game is done by hiting one of the action buttons, or by hitting a
- hard key.
-
- L = Turn Left
- F = Move Forward
- R = Turn Right
- B = Move Backward
- S = Sleep

-
- Calendar = View Character
- Address Book = Turn Left

-
- As you wander the dungeon, you will encounter monsters. You will want to
- battle as many monsters as possible, because victory increases your characters
- attributes slightly. The higher your attributes, the better your chance of
- defeating more dangerous monsters on lower levels of the dungeon. Keep an
- eye on your hit points, if they become low during a battle, you can attemtp
- to retreat, though the monsters may block your path.
-
- You will find many chests in the dungeon. Some may be empty, but some will
- contain weapons, armor, or other items necessary for completion of the game.
-
- Weapons and armor will be automatically equipped if it is better than what
- you currently possess.
-
- Remember to save your game often. You can save by selecting the 'Save Game'
- menu command, or simply leaving the game and going to another application.
- If you die in the dungeon, you can continue playing from the last place you
- saved your game.
