NOTE #1 - Although this is a release version of Booby Trap it is
not the final version (if there ever is such a thing). Booby Trap
is still being worked on to improve it's appearance and play. So,
if you find a problem when you play or if you see something that
you think would improve the game, leave a note with the Sysop of
the board where you are playing or leave a message to me on my
board, Com-Dat BBS at the number below.
NOTE #2 - Booby Trap has automatic Hot Keys. You do not
need to press the RETURN (ENTER) key unless prompted to do so.

The object of Booby Trap is to clear all 152 squares without
tripping one of the 25 booby traps. You use the keys on your key
pad to move the cursor. Your NUM LOCK key should be enabled to
activate your key pad. Follow the instructions on the main screen
as to which keys to use. When the game first starts you have to
pick a square that you think is safe to clear. To do this use
either the space bar or the C key. If there is a booby trap in the
square you will see a BT and the game will end. If there is one or
more booby traps adjacent to the square you will see a number from 1
to 8, indicating how many booby traps there are around you. If
there is no number then there is no booby trap in any of the
touching squares (hint hint...this means they are safe). If you
think a square is booby trapped you can mark that square with the
5 or M key and a red flag will appear. You can hit the 5 or M key
again to unflag the square. If you clear a square and trip a
booby trap then that game will end and you will either be given
another chance to play or if you have played all your games for the
day then the game will end. When you trip a booby trap all the squares
will clear showing the placement of the other booby traps and also which
ones you had right or wrong. A BT is a hidden booby trap, FBT is a
flagged booby trap and NBT is a square flagged but has no booby trap.

You score 100 points for each booby trap found on the board and
if you find all 25 booby traps without tripping one you will get a
500 point bonus.

Booby Trap gives the Sysop the option to allow 1 to 50 games per
day. This is configurable by the Sysop in the BOOBYTRP.CFG as to
how many Booby Traps there will be.

I hope you like the game and any enhancement you can suggest may
be added in a later version. I can be reached through FIDO 105/314,
or by calling my board at the number below. In addition, I read the
DOORWARE Echo and will respond to any messages left there.
