-
-MAIN MENU =----------------------------------------------------------------
-Alter game settings with the arrow keys (game mode, level, g/o-limit,
-and players (+names and controls). Press enter/2nd to start the game.
-
-GENERAL =------------------------------------------------------------------
-Avoid your worm from crashing by turning it left/right. Default controls
-are 1)left/right 2)F1/F2 3)sto/, 4)enter/+ but they can be altered to
-anything except EXIT (exits to the stats-screen) and MORE (turns calc off.)
-
-STATS-SCREEN =-------------------------------------------------------------
-At the end of each game, the stats-screen will be displayed. It shows the
-score and deaths for each worm, and hiscore for singleplayer games.
-Hit enter to return to the main menu.
-
-SINGLEPLAYER =-------------------------------------------------------------
-Move your worm over the "food". When you ate enough food you advance to the
-next, more difficult, level. At the top of the screen you can see in which
-level you are, how many peas you still have to eat, your score and your
-lives left. You can start in any level you've been before.
-
-PEAWORM =------------------------------------------------------------------
-Get as many peas possible in a single level.
-
-TRON =---------------------------------------------------------------------
-Like the movie ;)
-
-DEATHMATCH =---------------------------------------------------------------
-A multiplayer game for 2-4 players, where you have to kill the other
-worm(s) before they kill you. When you have no lives left, the game ends.
-You can set the number of lives at the main menu, and it'll be displayed
-during the game at the top of the screen for each player.
-
-FOODMATCH =----------------------------------------------------------------
-Like deathmatch, with the difference that your objective is to score a
-certain amount of points (100 by default.) You'll earn 10 for eating food,
-but if you die you'll lose 10.
-
-//HUNTING =------------------------------------------------------------------
-//In hunting, the hunter (player 1) has to "catch" the prey (2). The hunter
-//must hit the prey with his head, killing the prey and scoring 10 points.
-//However, the prey gains 5 points for every 250 turns he's alive. The first
-//one scoring 100 points wins.
-
-RACE =---------------------------------------------------------------------
-In this gametype, all worms have to move around like race-cars. For each
-lap you complete you'll get 40 points. You lose 10 for dieing, but you
-cannot be killed by running into other worms (you will be slowed down
-though).
-
-CTF =----------------------------------------------------------------------
-Each player has to capture the enemy flag, and return it to his own flag.
-
-//DOMINATION =---------------------------------------------------------------
-//There are several control points which you have to control (by running over
-//them). Every ten turns each player is given one point for each control
-//point he/she controls. The first one scoring 100 points wins.
-
-LEVELS =-------------------------------------------------------------------
-The file WORMLVL.Z80 can be altered to create your own levels. Compile this
-file by running WORMLVL.BAT. Levels may be distributed freely, but I would
-appreciate it if you send me a copy of your levels.
-
-OF COURSE =----------------------------------------------------------------
-I am not responisble for any damage Worm causes. Furthermore, you may not
-release an altered version of Worm, distribute it without this readme file
-included, nor may you charge money for it.
-
-HISTORY =------------------------------------------------------------------
-This is a historical overview of Worm(y) (facts may not match reality)
-* End 1998: Matthew Shepcar releases Peaworm, worm in it's simplest form
-* Scabby didn't release another version with levels and vertical scrolling
-* End 1999: I (Shiar) asked him whether I could complete Worm
-* Jonah Cohen helped me for a while, but soon he either died or got bored
-* June 2000: Worm just didn't want to work correctly (linkplay problems
- mostly), so I decided to take a break to continue later..
-* Feb 2001: After a huge break I figured it's time to complete WormY.
-* Summer 2001: Shiar finally completed Wormy and everybody was happy (???)

+ Wormy comes together with WORMEDIT, the Wormy level editor for DOS
+ I wrote. Start wormedit.exe and make some kick-ass levels! (Please do!!)
+Also send me your levels so I can put them on my page. More info at shiar.org.
+Note the editor is still beta and incomplete, and may crash your pc or calc.
+Use with caution and clue, and don't complain! You have been warned ;)

+ Argh, a disclaimer :( Just note Wormy was a non-profit project
+ which took a lot of my (spare) time, so please don't go demand
+ stuff (just _ask_ me) or sue me (f)or anything. By default
+ I am not responsible for any damage Wormy causes. Furthermore,
+ you may not: release an altered version of Wormy (the source
+ has been included for learning practises ONLY), distribute
+ it w/o this readme file included (plz leave the zipfile
+ intact). Any questions and stuff, just _ask_ me!

+
+ This is a short historical overview of Worm(y):
+ (facts may not match reality)
+ - End 1998 - Matthew Shepcar releases Peaworm, worm in its simplest form
+ - Scabby didnt release another version with levels and vertical scrolling
+ - End 1999 - I (Shiar) got his permission to entirely screw up his Worm >:)
+ - Jonah Cohen helped me for a while, but soon he either died or got bored
+ - June 2000 - Worm just didn't want to work correctly (linkplay problems
+ mostly), so I decided to take a break to continue later..
+ - Feb 2001 - After a huge break I figured it's time to complete Worm(y)
+- March 2002 - Completed at last, and everyone lived happily ever after
+
+ So, it's _finally_ done. It should be pretty playable and bugless
+ (no guarantees :P) Hope it was worth the wait. I may release
+ some new versions later, prolly with more levels,
+ improvements to the editor, fixes,
+ or 'maybe'-stuff...
