                          WORMup v.1.2                  30.5.1997
                          ------------

About:
  In this game you are a worm whose mission is to eat tiny
  green salad cubes. You control him with cursor keys. The
  game runs in 640x480x256 graphics mode. The game supports
  Sound Blaster compatible sound cards giving you music and
  sound effects. (SVGA mode requires some Vesa 2.0 driver,
  like UNIVBE is)

Problems:
  If the game won't start the reason might be identifying
  the sound card (which could be due to non-standard mother
  board or sound card) or you are running this game under
  Windows or OS/2 or similar. They reserve the sound card
  for their own use and do not allow other programs use it
  properly. In order to run the game you should modify
  setup.cfg so that the line containing 'sound on' will be
  changed to 'sound off'.

Versions:
  All versions will be released as shareware. The registration
  will cost you only 10 FIM, or 3 US $'s. version
  v.1.0 is the first public version and in future there
  will be many new versions with new features.

Current version is 1.2 and its new features are:
  -SVGA mode
  -salads and dying look better
  -editing levels is easier
  -the worm turns smoothly instead of 90 degrees (that
  is PI/2 radians for you mathematicians :)
  -few odd-behaviour features more (ie. bugs :)


Registration:
  If you happen to like this game or you just want to support
  Finnish game programming it is a good idea to register
  Wormup. By registering you will not get any level editors
  (later on they will be available to everybody).
  In case you register your copy of this game you can live
  happily knowing that you have done the right thing and by
  telling me your E-Mail address you will be notified of
  new versions.
  You register this game by sending me 10 FIM or $3 (or in
  any currency equal to this sum) in a letter.

  my address is:

  Sami Partinen
  Toukolankatu 2D5
  80160 JOENSUU

  It is a good idea to include following information:
  your name, address, E-Mail address (if any),
  telephone number and you should also tell me if you
  want to be notified of new versions.

Creating Levels
  When you are tired of the old levels you can remake them.
  The levels are saved as 320x240x256 PCX pictures. However,
  only the 15 first colors are used so far. That means the
  (transparent) background must be a color between 16 and 256,
  not 0 as usual. Extension is .lvl even though they are plain
  PCX images. When you save the levels, remember that there
  MUST be 256 colors, not 16 or 16M or something. The easiest
  way to create new levels is to open an existing level, then
  clear it and go on with creating a new level.

Other:
  If you have any suggestions and good ideas to be used
  in this game you can send them to address above or
  via E-Mail (partinen@cc.joensuu.fi till august 1997,
  after that, something else). You can contact me by
  telephone +358 (13) 827213.
