- \\\ How To Play ///
- \\\----------------------------------------------------------------///
- 'PAINTERS' is the simplest strategic action game you've ever played.
- The objective of the game is to paint over the field with your color
- as much as you can within a certain time period by moving a player.
- A player who painted the most will be a winner. There are five rounds
- for singles game. Four players can play together at a time!
-
-

- \\\ Items ///
- \\\----------------------------------------------------------------///
- Sometimes you will see an icon appearing on the field. This is an item
- that will surely help you to win. There are four types of item as
- follows:
-
- Watch - stops other players for a while.
- Boots - makes you run faster. You can keep them until you
- collide with other players.
- Big Bomb - You will see what happens...
- Small Bombs - You will see what happens...
-
-
- \\\----------------------------------------------------------------///
- \\\ Controls ///
- \\\----------------------------------------------------------------///
- Player1 (Blue) - Cursor Keys
- Player2 (Red) - 'W', 'A', 'D', and 'S' (or 'X')
- Player3 (Yellow) - Mouse
- Player4 (Green) - Joystick (If you do not have a joystick, Player4
- cannot be controlled by a human. Sorry.)
-
-
- \\\----------------------------------------------------------------///
- \\\ Menu Screen ///
- \\\----------------------------------------------------------------///
- After you have seen the title screen you will be presented with a menu
- on the screen. You can change options by clicking the menu buttons.
-
- --- Players ----------------------------------------------------------
- For each of four players you can choose either 'Human' or 'Auto'. If
- you choose 'Auto' then a computer will control the player.
-
- --- Doubles ----------------------------------------------------------
- You can choose the game to be either singles or doubles. If you choose
- doubles, Player1 (Blue) and Player4 (Green) will play against Player2
- (Red) and Player3 (Yellow). Which ever gets 3 points first (ie. wins 3
- rounds first) will be a winner team.
-
- --- Sound ------------------------------------------------------------
- If you have a SoundBlaster, choose sound to be ON which is initially
- OFF. If you don't have a SoundBlaster, do not turn on the sound
- otherwise the program will crash. I haven't tried on the SoundBlaster
- compatibles. (I will appreciate if you report me whether it worked on
- your sound card.)
-
- --- Joystick ---------------------------------------------------------
- If you have a joystick or joypad, you can choose Player4 to be 'Human'
- player. You can calibrate the joystick in the menu if necessary.
- (Again I will appreciate if you report me that your joystick doesn't
- work properly even after you calibrated.)
