The Screen
A picture of a game in progress is shown below. On a color monitor,
meatling 1 is purple and meatling 2 is yellow. On a black and white
monitor, meatling 1 is dark gray and meatling 2 is light gray. The radar
views on the right side of the screen show zoomed-out views of the island.
Meatling 1's radar centers around meatling 1, Meatling 2's radar centers
around meatling 2, and the Island Radar shows a view of the entire island.
Shyben appear as black boxes on all three radars.
When the two meatlings are close to each other, the main view focuses on
the point half-way between the two meatlings. When they are out of range,
the main view splits into two panels. The left panel focuses on meatling
1, and the right panel focuses on meatling 2. In a one player game, the
main view always focuses on the human.
