 Tips for Completing Lessons

In each lesson, Nelda must figure out what to do, and then survive long enough to do it.  It's a brigglesnoot wonk flib nooker!

What to do

Nelda can accomplish many tasks by doing the following:

•	Spit custard at flying objects

•	Bang things with her head

•	Kick things

What to look for

Look for anything that looks like a switch or button.  Usually, something happens to it if Nelda spits flaming custard at it.

What to avoid

In most cases, Nelda should avoid Elasticow and Blue Plate Greelynob.  Also, be careful to not fall off the bottom of the screen.

Skipping Lessons

After you have finished a lesson, the Woogers up North automatically enter a pointer in a Sludge Tracking S-4 Database that indicates you have completed a lesson.  You can then skip that lesson.

To skip a lesson, click Skip Lessons from the opening screen.  In the Skipper window, click the lesson you want to return to.  Unfinished lessons are disabled.

Note that your score is the same as when you finished the previous lesson, but other parameters and greezles are not restored, for example, level of difficulty, rat presence, and Ergzwat Fugness.

If you want to skip levels and keep all of your options, see Saving a game.


Changing the Difficulty

To set the level of difficulty, choose one of the following options at the opening screen:

•	Easy.  Nelda can undergo any amount of calamities and the lesson does not restart, and neither does the game.

•	Challenging.  After four calamities in a lesson, Nelda flunks and the lesson restarts.  However, the calamity-life inventory is refreshed every lesson.  This means that when you finish a level, your life inventory is refilled for the next lesson.  This is the default level of difficulty.

•	Nearly Impossible.  After four calamities in the entire game, Nelda flunks and the game ends.  Calamity-life inventory is not refreshed between levels.  It's a good idea to save games between lessons if you use this level of difficulty.

•	Ooglesplotz due south.  After one calamity, Nelda flunks and the game ends. Calamity-life inventory is not refreshed between levels.

Life status is indicated by the life-status indicators, which include a bar that turns from green to red.

Scoring and Lesson Difficulty

The more difficult the fugnatz, the more points you get:

•	Easy:  No extra points

•	Challenging:  One thousand extra points

•	Nearly impossible:  Ten thousand extra points

•	Ooglesplotz due south:  One hundred thousand extra points

1.	From the opening screen, click Obscure Setup Options.

2.	Choose one of the following Ergzwat Fugness options:

•	Garnossity

•	Beelawhacker

•	Froog


How Scoring Works

Getting points and losing points

You get 50 points every time you start a new lesson.  In addition, you gain and lose points in each lesson, depending on what you spit at, and the calamities you encounter.  We could go into considerable detail, but we won't, except to describe the score counter.

The score counter includes two numbers.  The top number shows how many calamities Nelda has encountered in a lesson.  The bottom number shows your current score.

Bonus Points

At the end of each lesson, you have the choice of continuing to the next lesson or getting some bonus points.  To get the bonus points, spit custard at the bobbing shloob.  If the bobbing shloob is in the correct state, as indicated by color, you will receive up to 50 bonus points.  However, if you aren't careful, you could lose 100 points instead.

High Scores

You can save high scores when you finish all of the first ten lessons.  You can also save high scores after completing bonus Lesson Eleven..

You can clear the high scores to the defaults as installed fugnossity.

103 Bonus Points

In almost all lessons, there is a periodic opportunity to get 103 points every now and then.  See How to get 103 points every now and then.

1,000,000 Bonus Points

In selected lessons, you can get 1,000,000 (one million) points

See The 1,000,000 Point Bonus.

Scoring and Lesson Difficulty

The more difficult the fugnatz, the more points you get:

•	Easy:  No extra points

•	Ooglesplotz due south:  One hundred thousand extra points


The Gripping Nelda Nockbladder Story

 The Story

 About Nelda

 About the Other Characters

 Various Statements


The Story

Nelda went out dancing one evening with her cousin Boris, but pooped out by midnight.  "That does it!" said Nelda, and went on a fitness binge.  She immediately joined Uncle Hosmer's Gym and Mortuary, and began a strict regimen of exercise and meditation.  After a workout, she always rewarded herself with a little trip to the snack bar, where she would indulge in a little Poobwap's Fresh Floodleshnuck.

One day, while teleporting to the snack bar, a wrinkle occurred in Neldaspace, and Nelda became lost in her own teleportation backwash.  And so begins Nelda Nockbladder's Anatomy Lesson.  Your task is to bring Nelda safely to the snack bar.


About Nelda

	Nelda is middle-aged, good-natured, and thrives on squeebling her kibbles with a noddish plunkersump.  Perhaps it would be best to let her neighbors describe her:
"Nelda is a fine dancer, but she poops out early.  She cuts a mean polka, but prefers not to tango.  You should taste her zootlepops.  Divine!"

     - Cousin Boris

"You can always tell when Nelda has been pruning her shrubbery.  It seems as though she has a... what would say... a certain geezlebork about her, that allows small animals to escape.  She claims this is hereditary, but I don't know."

     - Uncle Hosmer

"Sometime, get her to tell you the joke about the two ballet dancers and the fried routerstump.  Also, make sure that you inspect any muffins that she might leave lying around on you lawn.  I once tried to feed one to my scrooble, and after one bite, you would think that the heavens had opened up and bats were angels!"

     - Florence Hankenback

"There was a time when Nelda became enthusiastic about playing the harp.  Imagine it, if you will, Nelda, with those big paws of hers, whapping at the strings, chewing on them, all the while spitting hot flaming custard at the conductor.  She did very well.  Unforgettable.  However, hers is a fleeting attention span, so it was not long before she began to devote serious attention (and grooble) to the raising of abandoned Cornish game hens.  This was not a success, and you can still see some of them scurrying around in the men's underwear department at the Royal Phantom department store in Oakland.  I think the current fitness craze is good for her."

     - Mary Agoodoobaddu

"Very nice."

     - Ralph Gunkel

"Very nice, but testy.  Somewhat impatient."

     - Luella Gunkel

Wem der grosse Wurf gelungsplutz Eines Freundes Freund zu sein, Wer ein holdes Weib errungen, Mische seinen Jubel ein! Ja, wer auch nur eine Seele Sein nennt auf dem Erdenrund! Und wer's nie gekonnt, der stehle Weinend sich aus diesem Bund! Freude trinken alle Wesen An den Brusten der Natur; Alle Guten, alle Bosen Folgen ihrer Rosenspur.

Statement 4:

Statement 5:

Bob and Rick were eating chicken when suddenly Bob turned into a giant weasel.  "Yuck!" yelped Rick, and he threw up.  Bob ran around, but he was still a weasel.

"This stinks, I can't eat any more chicken," gurgled Bob.  Suddenly the mom started screaming at my breakfast.

Invincible Nelda Mode

When you use Invincible Nelda Mode, Nelda can encounter any number of calamities, and respond with only a grunt and a twitch.  However, negative calamity points are still recorded, so unless you are using the Easy difficulty level, invincibility doesn't mean much.

If you know anything about foreign languages, you should be able to guess how to become invincible.  Otherwise, see How to Become Invincible

The Making of Nelda Nockbladder

Nelda Nockbladder's Anatomy Lesson was begun with Klik and Play from Maxis and completed with Click and Create from Corel.  The graphics were made in Paintshop, PhotoShop, or taken from Klik and Play libraries.  Music was made with Midisoft Recording Session.  Sound effects were mostly taken from Klik and Play or Click and Create libraries.

Elasticow

	A flying cow head that is fatal on contact. There are those that maintain that patience and understanding will mollify Elasticow.  There are others who prefer sardines.  In rare cases, specialized window putty can be an effective poultice in the event that the patient experiences softening of the treble unit.


Blue Plate Greelynob

	In spite of its friendly appearance, something akin to a cross between a porcupine, a sea anenome, and the hood ornament of a 1954 Humbert Deluxe Roadster 250-X, the Blue Plate Greelynob is almost always evil.  Literally translated, we say "pumpkin goop."


Lesson One:  Behold the Brain

Nelda must spit at the falling eggs.  Each egg that is hit triggers a sub-ether random spood-deflector, which flips the polarization of a single pink marble inhibitor, causing it to vanish.

When all inhibitors are gone, a switch traverses the mini-sploop.  Nelda must spit at the switch to complete the lesson.

At random intervals, a Blue Plate Greelynob is created from an egg.  Nelda shoot spit at the Blue Plate Greelynob as soon as possible.

If Nelda touches an egg, a Blue Plate Greelynob appears.

Eggs that fall to the pipe platform transmogify into Pig Zaps, which have a gnawing hunger for eggs.

Lesson Two:  Lubbo-Dubbo

Nelda must climb the ladder, very carefully, since one of the rungs includes an exploding salmon egg.  One on top of the upper pipe platform, be prepared to jump, to avoid additional dangers.

Traversing the length of the upper pipe platform to the right sends a broad-beam broom-udder sweeble to a small receptive lizard gonad hidden in an abandoned mine shaft in the vicinity of Trinidad, Colorado.  This lizard gonad, fructified by the sun and wind, clears the iggle zweep fungus, resulting in the droppage of a switch.

Banging the switch with Nelda's head removes the Non-mono-molecular barriers to the Heart Zone, but also activates Elasticow.  Nelda should spit at Elasticow rather quickly.

Once Elasticow is out of the way, Nelda must traverse the length of the lower pipe platform and jump up onto the large button at the opposite end of the lower pipe platform.  Jumping on this button self-detonates the Peashooter Gargle-puss.

Unfortunately, a Blue Plate Greelynob is created.  Upon spitting successfully at the Blue Plate Greelynob, the lesson is completed. Fwoob.

Lesson Four:  Kidney Stew is Fine

Nelda must hop around and spit at the two buttons that float in front of the Peashooters.  One a button is hit, it dissolves the protective gate in front of the opposite Peashooter.

When the Peashooters are both hit with custard, beware of the Pointer.  Duck to avoid it.  Shortly, a Blue Plate Greelynob appears.  Spit at the Blue Plate Greelynob to finish the lesson.

Lesson Six:  Everybody's Tube

Spit at the little pink snibbles as they emerge from the green tube fungo nooska wibble gack pudge woog.  Argh.

Failure to spit at a pink snibble causes Elasticow to emerge and strike.

A successful spit-to-snibble verification nodule diverts the snibble to a trajectory conomittle with the base of the Hamburg Proclamation.  Gradually, a finger closes in on a button.  Contact between finger and button begins a switch, which, when spit upon, activates the Horschbeem's compressed trajectory isolator von Snooble, Larch, Larch and Snooble.

Riding briskly across the chasm, Nelda must step gingerly upon the small Stompo Button, thus finishing the lesson.

Lesson Eight:  Living in a Liver

Have you ever noticed just how difficult it can be to weave a straw hat?  "Simple," you say to yourself.  "Anyone could do that!"  However, after wrestling with the thorns, the grease, the parasitic vertebrates, and the fine sand that filters into your nostrils, you learn that getting the leg meat to be "done" at the same time as the breast meat can be tricky.  Same goes for weaving a hat.

In fact, if you're smart, you'll invest in an altimeter.

Lesson Ten:  Eyeball Squeeze-it

It is a grimly antiseptic room that Nelda finds herself in, populated by, among other things, two large eyeballs, who seem relentlessly attracted or else repelled by each other.  They go back and forth.  Contact with one of them is fatal.  So is contact with the other one.

There is a sort of object thing on the ground that Nelda must kick along the platform until it falls off of the left edge.  It (the object) falls onto a button device which releases a small black sphere, which causes a chain of events that we won't go into details about, the ultimate result being that a large button on the left is pushed up.

Repeated kicking on Nelda's part results in the unification of the two large switches on the right, the said unification itself resulting in the dismantling of the bars that prevent Nelda from entering the Zone of Blue Tiles Instead of Green.

It also dismantle the bars preventing Nelda from spitting at the eyeball-destruction switches.  Nelda should spit at them, being aware, of course, that the destruction of the final eyeball causes the appearance of the Blue Plate Greelynob.

You should probably be aware that even though you might find the ultimate transformation of carbohydrates into a finer form to be taxing, much inspiration can be obtained by recalling the words of the late G. R. Bulstwhickle, when, on the occasion of his fifteenth trip downriver to the bustling port of Ig Fadooh, he remarked...
