- -= [THE BEGINNING] =-
-
- First you'll want to upload wormy.86p to your calculator (or emu),
- and probably a levelfile like wormy001.86s. Then you simply run
- Wormy by typing Asm(wormy or using a shell (except for AShell.)
- Then you just choose your levelfile; internal levels are
- located within Wormy itself and thus always present.
- You'll get in the main menu. Here you can alter game
- settings with the arrow keys (game mode, level,
- linkplay, and players (+names and controls).
- Select (enter/2nd) the level to customize
- multiplayer games (lives, score-
- limit, game speed, rotation
- speed and auto-growth).
- When you're ready, press
- enter/2nd to start the game.
-
--= [DON'T DIE] =-
-
- Playing wormy is quite simple actually. Just avoid
- your worm from crashing (into walls or yourself)
- 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
- (which always exits to the stats-screen) and MORE
- (turns your calc off and pauses at the same time ;)
-
- -= [WELL DONE] =-
-
- At the end of each game , the stats-screen will
- be displayed. It shows the score and deaths for
- each worm, and hi score for singleplayer games.
- The winner(s) of multiplayer games will
- be denoted with an *. Hit enter
- to return to the main menu.

This is a short historical overview of Worm(y):
- (facts may not match reality)
- * End 1998: Matthew Shepcar releases Peaworm, worm in it's simplest form
- * Scabby didnt release another version with levels and vertical scrolling
- * End 1999: I (Shiar) asked him whether I could complete 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 WormY
-* Summer 2001: Completed at last, and everyone lived happily ever after

+ - 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...
